	abstract = {Modern-day reservoir management and monitoring of geological carbon storage increasingly call for costly time-lapse seismic data collection. In this letter, we show how techniques from graph theory can be used to optimize acquisition geometries for low-cost sparse 4D seismic. Based on midpoint-offset domain connectivity arguments, the proposed algorithm automatically produces sparse non-replicated time-lapse acquisition geometries that favor wavefield recovery.},

	abstract = {Due to the tremendous cost of seismic data acquisition, methods have been developed to reduce the amount of data acquired by designing optimal missing trace reconstruction algorithms. These technologies are designed to record as little data as possible in the field, while providing accurate wavefield reconstruction in the areas of the survey that are not recorded. This is achieved by designing randomized subsampling masks that allow for accurate wavefield reconstruction via matrix completion methods. Motivated by these recent results, we propose a simulation-free seismic survey design that aims at improving the quality of a given randomized subsampling using a simulated annealing algorithm that iteratively increases the spectral gap of the subsampling mask, a property recently linked to the quality of the reconstruction. We demonstrate that our proposed method improves the data reconstruction quality for a fixed subsampling rate on a realistic synthetic dataset.},

	abstract = {While time-lapse seismic has been applied successfully to CO2 sequestration monitoring, it remains a challenging problem since replicated dense surveys come at a very high cost in the field. Wavefield reconstruction based on matrix completion (MC) from randomized subsampled data is an efficient way to reduce operational costs. This technique allows for accurate time-lapse reconstruction by employing the joint recovery model (JRM), which capitalizes on the fact that different vintages share a common component. However, combining JRM with optimal time-lapse acquisition survey design remains an unexplored area of research. In expander graph theory, spectral gap (SG) reveals the source-receiver layout connectivity and is related to reconstruction quality during MC. Building on these insights, we proposed a simulation free time-lapse survey design based on JRM that aims to get similar reconstructed quality without insisting on replicate surveys, which significantly reduces the cost in the field. This approach uses the simulated annealing algorithm to find subsampling masks for each vintage. Numerical experiments confirm a direct correlation between increased spectral gap and promising time-lapse reconstruction quality.},

	abstract = {Seismic data go through a sequence of pre-processing steps before being made into an image. Although some work has been done to assess the uncertainties in the final images, how the uncertainty in the pre-processing affects the results remains largely unexplored. We use Normalizing Flows (NF), a type of deep neural network, to interpolate seismic data and quantify the associated uncertainty. A big advantage of NFs, over the more commonly used Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods, is that they can successfully sample a complex and high-dimensional probability space with fewer assumptions. We present the first application of NF in interpolating (synthetic) seismic data. The statistical measurements retrieved from the network can be used to better characterize the data as it is passed to the post-processing phase.},
