Abstract

Summary

A major impediment to the full understanding of the data acquired in marine seismic is the restricting assumption of a flat and stationary sea surface used in certain pre-processing tools. A first step towards removing this assumption is to accurately account for the sea state (time varying free surface) in the deghosting process. On the receiver side, this is handled properly by using dual-sensor streamer. In this work, we present an integral approach to model the source side ghost effects from time-varying rough sea surfaces and show that the interaction with time-varying sea surfaces affect the subsurface reflections and may have a significant impact on seismic repeatability. We then continue with a theoretical derivation where we develop deghosting operator based on an integral inversion of the modeling operator. This formulation for source deghosting can account for the time-variation of rough sea surfaces.
