Abstract

Conventional data-driven SRME techniques do not require any a priori knowledge of the subsurface (reflectivity, structures and velocities). However, these methods require a shot location at each receiver location, wherein lies the main difficulty for their 3D implementation. Today solutions involve demanding reconstruction of the missing data or reconstruction of the missing multiple contributions. In this paper, we present an SRME approach based on multiple modeling and free from any constraint related to the relative source and receiver location. This key feature makes our 3D SRME technology applicable to any kind of acquisition, from conventional streamer seismic to OBC survey.
