Coding And Decoding: Seismic Data: The Concept Of Multishooting (Volume 39) (Handbook Of Geophysical Exploration: Seismic Explor,Used

About the Author Dr. Luc Ikelle is a Professor in Geology and Geophysics at Texas A&M University. He received his PhD in Geophysics from Paris 7 University in 1986 and has sense cultivated expertise in: seismic data acquisition, modeling, processing, and interpretation for conventional and unconventional energy production; inverse problem theory, signal processing, linear and nonlinear elastic wave propagation, linear and nonlinear optics, and continuum and fracture mechanics. His research interests include a combined analysis of petroleum systems, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions based on geology, geophysics, statistical modeling, and control theory.He is a founding member of Geoscientists Without Borders, for which he received an award from SEG in 2010. He is a member of the editorial board of the Journal of Seismic Exploration and has published 107 refereed publications in international journals. Product Description Currently, the acquisition of seismic surveys is performed as a sequential operation in which shots are computed separately, one after the other. This approach is similar to that of multipleaccess technology, which is widely used in cellular communications to allow several subscribers to share the same telephone line.The cost of performing various shots simultaneously is almost identical to that of one shot; thus, the savings in time and money expected from using the multishooting approach for computing seismic surveys compared to the current approach are enormous. By using this approach, the longstanding problem of simulating a threedimensional seismic survey can be reduced to a matter of weeks and not years, as is currently the case. Review Discusses how to collect, simulate, and process multishooting data, as well as how it improves seismic characterization and resolution
