Abstract

Zhu, H., Wang, D.-L. and Tsoflias, G.P., 2015. Seismic interferometry in parabolic Radon domain. Journal of Seismic Exploration, 24: 37-50. Seismic interferometry can redatum sources to the receiver locations in the subsurface, without knowing the information about the medium between sources and receivers. Theoretically, the receivers should be enclosed by the sources; however, in practice this condition is difficult to satisfy. In addition, some trace gathers may be lost. This will cause spurious events in the virtual shot gathers. Since parabolic Radon transform can be used to restore the data with missing trace gathers, seismic interferometry based on parabolic Radon transform can avoid the effect of these missing shots or traces, and suppress the spurious events. In addition, computation time can be saved with this method because parabolic Radon transform can usually reduce the data volume. We demonstrate this method with synthetic data and OBS data collected in the South China Sea.
