Elastic common-receiver Gaussian beam migration of 4C ocean-bottom node data
GEOPHYSICS(2023)
Abstract
Four-component ocean-bottom node (OBN) surveys al-low for the imaging of subsurface elastic properties for oil and gas exploration in deepwater environments. However, sparse acquisition sampling for the high-quality imaging of OBN data is challenging. To alleviate this problem, a common-receiver domain 4C elastic Gaussian beam migra-tion method based on elastic reciprocity transformation that considers the monopole/dipole characters of sources and receivers is developed. Common-receiver migration also is computationally efficient in an OBN survey wherein the number of shots usually exceeds the number of geo-phones. P/S and up-/downgoing wavefield decompositions are accomplished on the "virtual source side" during mi-gration. A decomposition matrix and a wavefield extrapo-lation formula are derived from the elastic Kirchhoff -Helmholtz integral with the representation of the Green's function as a superposition of Gaussian beams. The local slant stack is performed on the common-receiver record-ings that are subjected to more optimized sampling, which is less sensitive to aliasing. The performance of the method on synthetic data is validated using the coarse sampling of OBNs in a deepwater and ultradeepwater environment.
