Abstract

Most often conventional 3D towed-marine seismic data acquisition suffers from limited illumination of subsurface due to narrow azimuth. Although, acquisition techniques such as Ocean Bottom Cable (OBC), Ocean Bottom Node (OBN), Rich-Azimuth (RAZ) acquisition, Multi-Azimuth (MAZ) acquisition have been developed to illuminate the subsurface from all possible angles, these acquisition techniques are expensive. Motivated by the design principles of compressed sensing, we acquire randomly subsampled and simultaneous (e.g., simultaneous long offset) 3D towed-marine time-lapse seismic data for few (random) azimuths, and recover densely sampled multiple azimuth baseline and monitor data via sparsity promotion and rank minimization. Our acquisition is low cost since we have subsampled measurements.
