	abstract = {Simultaneous shooting methods using encoded sweeps can enhance the productivity of land acquisition in situations where deployment of many vibrators and larger receiver spread is not possible in the field due to obstructions or permit limitations. However, the existing framework requires shooting the full sequence of encoded sweeps on each shot point to reconstruct the complete frequency bandwidth Green{\textquoteright}s function. Although this simultaneous shooting method reduces the sweeping time vs conventional sequential shooting, the gain in efficiency is limited. To further reduce the sweeping time, we propose to acquire randomly selected subsets of the encoded sweeps sequences followed by a rank-minimization based joint source separation and spectral interpolation framework to reconstruct the full bandwidth deblended Green{\textquoteright}s function. We demonstrate the advantages of proposed sampling and reconstruction framework using a synthetic seismic line simulated using SEG-SEAM Phase II land velocity and density model.},

	abstract = {Spatial Nyquist sampling rate, which is proportional to the apparent subsurface velocity, is the key deciding cost factor for conventional seismic acquisition. Due to the lower shear wave velocity compared with compressional waves, finer spatial sampling is required to properly record the earlier, which increases the acquisition costs. This is one of the reasons why shear waves are usually not considered in practice. To avoid having the Nyquist criterion as the deciding cost factor and to utilize multicomponent data to its available full extent, we propose acquiring randomly undersampled ocean bottom seismic data. Each component can then be interpolated separately, followed by elastic decomposition to recover up- and down-going S-waves. Instead, we jointly interpolate and decompose the recorded multicomponent data by solving one sparsity promoting optimization problem. This way we ensure that the relative amplitudes of the multicomponent data is preserved. We compare two sparsifying transforms: the curvelet transform and the frequency-wavenumber transform. Another key cost deciding factor for seismic acquisition is the efficiency of acquiring data. This calls for simultaneous acquisition, which requires a source separation step. Similarly, instead of taking a two-step approach, we perform a sparsity-promoting joint source separation decomposition. Results on economically and efficiently acquired synthetic data of both joint methods show their ability of reconstructing accurate up- and down-going S-waves.},

	abstract = {Simultaneous source marine acquisition has been recognized as an economic way of improving spatial sampling and speedup acquisition time, where a single- (or multiple-) source vessel fires at jittered source locations and time instances. Consequently, the acquired simultaneous data volume is processed to separate the overlapping shot records resulting in densely sampled data volume. It has been shown in the past that the simultaneous source acquisition design and source separation process can be setup as a compressed sensing problem, where conventional seismic data is reconstructed from simultaneous data via a sparsity-promoting optimization formulation. While the recovery quality of separated data is reasonably well, the recovery process can be computationally expensive due to transform-domain redundancy. In this paper, we present a computationally tractable rank-minimization algorithm to separate simultaneous data volumes. The proposed algorithm is suitable for large-scale seismic data, since it avoids singular-value decompositions and uses a low-rank based factorized formulation instead. Results are illustrated for simulations of simultaneous time-jittered continuous recording for a 3D ocean-bottom cable survey.},

	abstract = {Simultaneous marine acquisition is an economic way to sample seismic data and speed up acquisition, wherein single or multiple source vessels fire sources at near-simultaneous or slightly random times, resulting in overlapping shot records. The current paradigm for simultaneous towed-streamer marine acquisition incorporates {\textquotedblleft}low variability{\textquotedblright} in source firing times, i.e., 0 <= 1 or 2 s because the sources and receivers are moving. This results in a low degree of randomness in simultaneous data, which is challenging to separate (into its constituent sources) using compressed-sensing-based separation techniques because randomization is key to successful recovery via compressed sensing. We have addressed the challenge of source separation for simultaneous towed-streamer acquisitions via two compressed-sensing-based approaches, i.e., sparsity promotion and rank minimization. We have evaluated the performance of the sparsity-promotion- and rank-minimization-based techniques by simulating two simultaneous towed-streamer acquisition scenarios, i.e., over/under and simultaneous long offset. A field data example from the Gulf of Suez for the over/under acquisition scenario was also developed. We observed that the proposed approaches gave good and comparable recovery qualities of the separated sources, but the rank-minimization technique outperformed the sparsity-promoting technique in terms of the computational time and memory. We also compared these two techniques with the normal-moveout-based median-filtering-type approach, which had comparable results.},

In this paper, we propose a source separation algorithm for blended marine acquisition, where two sources are deployed at different depths (over/under acquisition). The separation method incorporates the Hierarchical Semi-Separable structure (HSS) inside rank-regularized least-squares formulations. The proposed approach is suitable for large scale problems, since it avoids SVD computations and uses a low-rank factorized formulation instead. We illustrate the performance of the new HSS-based deblending approach by simulating an over/under blended acquisition, wherein uniformly random time delays (of < 1 second) are applied to one of the sources.},
