	abstract = {Time-lapse images void of acquisition and processing artifacts can provide more useful information about subsurface changes compared to those with acquisition footprints and other unwanted anomalies. Although, several pre-processing techniques are being developed and used to mitigate these unwanted artifacts, these operations can be very expensive, challenging and data dependent. Migration, as a processing tool, using a sparsity constraint has been shown to reduce artifacts drastically but little is known about the significance for compressed time-lapse seismic data. Leveraging ideas from distributed compressed sensing, and motivated by our earlier work on recovery of densely sampled time-lapse data from compressively sampled measurements, we present a sparsity-constrained migration for time-lapse data that uses a common component shared by the baseline and monitor data. Our algorithm tested on a synthetic example highlights the advantages of exploiting the common information, compared to ad hoc methods that involve parallel processing of the time-lapse data before differencing.},

	note = {(CSEG, Calgary)},
	month = {05},
	abstract = {Common image gathers are used in building velocity models, inverting anisotropy parameters, and analyzing reservoir attributes. Often primary reflections are used to form image gathers and multiples are typically attenuated in processing to remove strong coherent artifacts generated by multiples that interfere with the imaged reflectors. However, researchers have shown that, if correctly used, multiples can actually provide extra illumination of the subsurface in seismic imaging, especially for delineating the near-surface features. In this work, we borrow ideas from literatures on imaging with surface-related multiples, and apply these ideas to extended imaging. This way we save the massive computation cost in separating multiples from the data before using them during the formation of image gathers. Also, we mitigate the strong coherent artifacts generated by multiples which can send the migration velocity analysis type algorithms in wrong direction. Synthetic examples on a three-layer model show the efficacy of the proposed formulation.},

Logs are visually interpreted and correlated to classify regions that are similar in structure, a process that can be modelled with machine learning. This project applies supervised learning methods to labelled well logs from the Trenton Black River data set in order to classify major stratigraphic units. Spectral co-occurance coefficients were used for feature extraction, and a k-nearest-neighbours approach was used for classification. This novel approach was applied to real field data in a high-impact domain, yielding promising results for future research.},

	month = {01},
	abstract = {During this talk, I will explain how ideas from compressive sensing and big data can be used to reduce costs of seismic data acquisition and wave-equation based inversion. The key idea is to explore structure within the data by deliberately breaking this structure with randomized sampling, e.g., by randomizing source/receiver positions or by source encoding, followed by an optimization procedure that restores the structure and therefore recovers the fully sampled data. These techniques not only underpin recent advances in missing trace interpolation and simultaneous acquisition but they are also responsible for significant improvements in full-waveform inversion and reverse-time migration. We will illustrate these concepts using a variety of compelling examples on realistic synthetics and field data.},

	abstract = {Sparse promoting oriented problems are never new in seismic applications. Back in 1970s, geophysicists had well exploited the robustness of sparse solutions. Moreover, with the emerging usage of compressed sensing in recent years, sparse recovery have been favored in dealing with {\textquoteright}curse of dimensionality{\textquoteright} in various seismic field acquisition, data processing, and imaging applications. Although sparsity has provided a promising approach, solving for it presents a big challenge. How to work efficiently with the extremely large-scale seismic problem, and how to improve the convergence rate reducing computation time are most frequently asked questions in this content. In this abstract, the author proposed a new algorithm {\textendash} PQN$\ell_1$, trying to address those questions. One example on seismic data processing is included.},

	title = {Assessing the need for repeatability in acquisition of time-lapse data},
	booktitle = {CSEG Annual Conference Proceedings},
	year = {2013},
	month = {05},
	abstract = {There are several factors that affect the repeatability of 4D(time-lapse) seismic data. One of the most significant factors is the repeatability of the acquisition, particularly the locations of the sources and receivers. It is important to repeat the source-receiver locations, used during the baseline survey, in the monitor or repeat survey. Also, it is essential that the stacked data volumes used for time-lapse analysis are created using the same offset ranges for each survey. This condition is crucial in order to be able to produce an image of the same location over a period of time and enhances proper reservoir characterization. The cost of repeating the seismic acquisition is very expensive, as often times, the receiver array has to be left at the same location over the period for which the data will be acquired. In other words, it is important to repeat the acquisition geometry as much as possible. In this talk, we investigate the results of changing the acquisition geometry, by a random placement of the receivers for both the baseline surveys and newer (monitor) surveys. Results show that we are still able to observe any time-lapse effects from the proposed acquisition geometry. Our experiments have been performed on a synthetic model.},

	abstract = {Full-waveform inversion (FWI) is a nonlinear data fitting procedure based on seismic data to derive a accurate velocity model. With the increasing demand for high resolution images in complex geological settings, the importance of improvements in acquisition and inversion become more and more critical. However, these improvements will be obtained at high computational cost, as a typical marine survey contains thousands of shot and receiver positions, and FWI needs several passes through massive seismic data. Computational cost of FWI will grow exponentially as the size of seismic data and desired resolution increase. In this paper we present a modified Gauss-Newton (GN) method that borrows ideas from compressive sensing, where we compute the GN updates from a few randomly selected sequential shots. Each subproblem is solved by using a sparsity promoting algorithm. With this approach, we dramatically reduce the size and hence the computational costs of the problem, whilst we control information loss by redrawing a different set of sequential shots for each subproblem.},

	booktitle = {CSEG Annual Conference Proceedings},
	year = {2012},
	month = {02},
	abstract = {Simultaneous-source acquisition is an emerging technology that is stimulating both geophysical research and commercial efforts. Simultaneous marine acquisition calls for the development of a new set of design principles and post-processing tools. The focus here is on simultaneous-source marine acquisition design and sparsity-promoting sequential-source data recovery. We propose a pragmatic simultaneous-source, randomized marine acquisition scheme where multiple vessels sail across an ocean-bottom array firing airguns at {\textendash}- sequential locations and randomly time-dithered instances. By leveraging established findings from the field of compressive sensing, where the choice of the sparsifying transform needs to be incoherent with the compressive sampling matrix, we can significantly impact the reconstruction quality, and demonstrate that the compressive sampling matrix resulting from the proposed sampling scheme is sufficiently incoherent with the curvelet transform to yield successful recovery by sparsity promotion. Results are illustrated with simulations of {\textquotedblleft}purely{\textquotedblright} random marine acquisition, which requires an airgun to be located at each source location, and random time-dithering marine acquisition with one and two source vessels. Size of the collected data volumes in all cases is the same. Compared to the recovery from the former acquisition scheme (SNR = 10.5dB), we get good results by dithering with only one source vessel (SNR = 8.06dB) in the latter scheme, which improve at the cost of having an additional source vessel (SNR = 9.85dB).},

These non-separable wavelet transforms are locoalized both (x,t)- and (k,f)-domains and allow for adaptive seperation of signal and ground roll. Both linear and non-linear filtering are discussed using the unique properties of these basis that allow for simultaneous localization in the both domains. Eventhough, the linear filtering techniques are encouraging the true added value of these basis-function techniques becomes apparent when we use these decompositions to adaptively substract modeled ground roll from data using a non-linear thesholding procedure. We show real and synthetic examples and the results suggest that these directional-selective basis functions provide a usefull tool for the removal of coherent noise such as ground roll.},
