	title = {Tracking the spatial-temporal evolution of fractures by microseismic source collocation},
	year = {2017},
	publisher = {SINBAD},
	abstract = {Unlike conventional reservoirs, unconventional plays are not naturally viable for economical production of oil and gas. They require stimulation by injecting high-pressure fluid causing fractures in the rocks. These fractures make the medium more permeable, hence, the extraction of oil and gas becomes feasible. For drilling purposes and to prevent potentially hazardous situations, we need to have good knowledge of the location of these fractures. Also, we need to have good knowledge about how these fractures originated in time. Hydraulic fracturing changes stress in rocks, which results in the emission of microseismic waves. The opening of cracks due to high pressure fluid injection during hydraulic fracturing mainly causes this change in stress in the rocks. Therefore, microseismic events are mostly localized along these fractures and have finite energy along time. To accurately track the evolution of fractures in both space and time, we need to locate closely spaced microseismic events along these fractures activating at very small time intervals. A naive approach can be the back propagation of the observed data to find out a point in space and time where maximum focusing of back propagating energy occurs. This point corresponds to the location and origin time of a microseismic source. This approach, although simpler, suffers from low resolution and requires scanning of complete 4D volume (3D in space and 1D in time). Hence, this method can be challenging when there are multiple closely spaced microseismic sources originating at different times. We in this work propose a sparsity promotion based method that can locate closely spaced microseismic events, with spatial separation as low as within half a wavelength, activating at small time intervals. We simultaneously estimate the origin time of microseismic events by estimating their source time functions. Our method exploits the fact that microseismic events are localized in space and have finite energy. We use accelerated Linearized Bregman algorithm with a preconditioning operator to arrive at a computationally feasible scheme.},

	title = {Time-domain sparsity-promoting least-squares migration with source estimation},
	year = {2016},
	publisher = {SINBAD},
	abstract = {Compared to traditional reverse-time migration (RTM), least-squares RTM (LS_RTM) is able to obtain true amplitude images as solutions of $\ell_2$-norm minimization problems by fitting the synthetic and observed reflection data. The shortcoming is that solutions of these $\ell_2$ problems tend to be overfitted and computationally too expensive. By working with randomized subsets of data only, the computational costs of LS-RTM can be brought down to an acceptable level, producing artifact-free high-resolution images. By including on-the-fly source-time function estimation into the method of Linearized Bregman (LB), we tackle the open issues of these "compressive imaging" in the aspects of algorithmic complexity of solver, guaranteed convergence and source estimation. We also inbvestigate whether the algorithm can be accelerated when we combine LB with the Nesterov method. Application of our algorithm on a 2D synthetic shows that we are able to get high-resolution images, with accurate estimates of the wavelet, for one single data pass.},

	abstract = {It is well known that low frequency data are essential to the success of the Full-Waveform Inversion. Field data from a usual marine acquisition, however, typically lack reliable low frequencies due to the existing physical limitations. One research direction focuses on studying low-frequency extrapolation, the process of extending reliable frequency bands of the raw data towards the lower end of the spectrum. We propose two optimization problems, by solving which low frequencies can be made out of the high SNR high frequency component. We present both theoretical explanation and numerical experiments to demonstrate the efficacy as well as limitation of these methods.},

The anisotropic modeling kernel is used for the forward modeling operator, as well as for the adjoint Jacobian to back propagate the data residual, thus providing the true gradient of the FWI objective function. We apply this workflow on a synthetic FWI example and perform RTM on a field data set. Furthermore, we discuss alternatives for the pseudo-spectral Laplacian operator of the current implementation.},

We make comparisons with sparsity-promoting based techniques and demonstrate that rank-minimization based debelending techniques are computationally faster and memory efficient.

	abstract = {Adding a total variation constraint to the Wavefield Reconstruction Inversion model proposed by van Leeuwen and Herrmann can improve robustness and remove artifacts by encouraging piecewise smooth solutions. However, if the parameter controlling the strength of the TV regularization is not well chosen, important details can be lost. We investigate continuation strategies that gradually reduce the strength of the TV constraint so that these important details are eventually allowed back into the solution. Preliminary numerical experiments suggest that this can improve the solution path and lead to better velocity models than if TV regularization were not used during the intermediate steps.},

	publisher = {SINBAD},
	abstract = {Current efforts towards dense shot (and/or receiver) sampling and full azimuthal coverage to produce higher-resolution images have led to the deployment of multiple source vessels across the survey area. A step ahead from multi-source seismic acquisition is simultaneous or blended acquisition where different source arrays/vessels fire shots at near-simultaneous or slightly random times. Seismic data acquisition with simultaneous (or blended) sources has helped improve acquisition efficiency and mitigate acquisition related costs. Deblending then aims to recover unblended data, as acquired during conventional acquisition, from blended data since many processing techniques rely on full, regular sampling. We present a simultaneous/blended marine acquisition setup where shots fire at significantly jittered instances in time resulting in jittered shot locations for a given speed of the source vessel. The conventional, unblended data is recovered from the blended, jittered/irregular data by sparsity-promoting inversion using the non-equispaced fast discrete curvelet transform. The optimization scheme aims to deblend the blended data along with regularization and interpolation to a (finer) regular grid.},

This helps us to design a pragmatic time-jittered marine acquisition scheme where multiple source vessels sail across an ocean-bottom array firing airguns at {\textendash} jittered source locations and instances in time, resulting in better spatial sampling, and speedup acquisition. Furthermore, we can significantly impact the reconstruction quality of conventional seismic data (from jittered data) and demonstrate successful recovery by sparsity promotion. In contrast to random (under)sampling, acquisition via jittered (under)sampling helps in controlling the maximum gap size, which is a practical requirement of wavefield reconstruction with localized sparsifying transforms. Results are illustrated with simulations of time-jittered marine acquisition, which translates to jittered source locations for a given speed of the source vessel.},
