WAVEFORM INVERSION BY MULTIPLE SHOT-ENCODING FOR NON-FIXED SPREAD GEOMETRIES
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for use in processing seismic data, the method comprising:
- simulating a set of simulated seismic data from a set of acquired seismic data;
separating the simulated seismic data into a plurality of data sets, wherein one set of data is matched in the acquired seismic data and one set of data is unmatched in the acquired seismic data;
conforming the simulated seismic data and the acquired seismic data to one another using separated, simulated seismic data unmatched by a counterpart in the acquired seismic data from the acquired seismic data; and
performing an inversion between the acquired seismic data and the separated, simulated seismic data after they are conformed to one another.
