	abstract = {During time-lapse seismic monitoring of CO2 plumes, a weak 4D signal below the level of inversion or migration artifacts poses challenges. To address these, low-cost randomized non-replicated acquisitions and a linear joint recovery model (JRM) have been introduced. It takes advantage of the shared information between different vintages in the time-lapse seismic data and subsurface structure undergoing localized changes. Since the relationship between seismic data and subsurface properties is seldom linear, we propose a more versatile nonlinear JRM (nJRM) to invert for the squared slowness of the vintages. The nJRM takes advantage of the full nonlinear relation between these squared slownesses and time-lapse data through the wave equation. Also, careful derivation of the gradients makes the computational cost of nJRM equivalent to the independent recovery. We present a synthetic study for geological carbon storage (GCS) which shows that the non-replication can be beneficial to time-lapse imaging, making seismic monitoring of GCS less costly for the long term sustainability of the technology.},

	year = {2023},
	month = {11},
	abstract = {Our goal is to build realistic parameterized (acoustic, velocity, permeability etc) earth models where the training and testing phase of our method uses only data that is available in the field. We first demonstrate the expressive power of normalizing flows to generate detailed realistic earth models by training on supervised pairs of full earth models and borehole wells. Our results are compared with traditional variogram kriging to show that our generated models can be used in parameterizations of various downstream tasks such as simulations of realistic acoustic waves and fluid flow for reservoir simulations. Then we introduce a novel unsupervised training objective that can train normalizing flows to generate full earth models without needing training pairs of the full earth models. By using a known proxy earth model as a testbed, we make preliminary prescriptions on how many wells our method needs to generate permissible earth models in a target area.},

	year = {2022},
	month = {11},
	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.},
