Abstract

Simultaneous-source marine acquisition is an example of compressive sensing where acquisition with a single vessel is replaced by simultaneous acquisition by multiple vessels with sources that fire at randomly dithered times. By identifying simultaneous acquisition as compressive sensing, we are able to design acquisitions that favour recovery by sparsity promotion. Compared to conventional processing that yields estimates for sequential data, sparse recovery leads to significantly improved results for simultaneous data volumes that are collected in shorter times. These improvements are the result of proper design of the acquisition, selection of the appropriate transform domain, and solution of the recovery problem by sparsity promotion. During this talk, we will show how these design principles can be applied to marine acquisition and to other problems in exploration seismology that can benefit from compressive sensing.
