Abstract: A method for processing seismic data from a subsurface using least squares migration or wave equation migration velocity analysis over a cost function comprising a function of a matching filter by iteratively updating the reflectivity model velocity model to yield an updated reflectivity model or updated velocity model that matches the observed seismic data.

Abstract: Presented are methods and systems for predicting a seismic data related quantity. The prediction is based on a linear least mean square estimate associated with covariance matrices. The application of a prediction error filter provides the ability to derive the prediction for aliased data samples.

Abstract: Computing device, system and method for calculating an estimate far-field signature () of a seismic source. The method includes receiving seismic data collected with seismic sensors having a variable-depth distribution so that ghost diversity is present; stacking the seismic data at the sea floor; calculating in a processor the estimate far-field signature () based on a ghost period (ti) and a relative amplitude (?i) of two traces from the seismic data; and generating a final image of sub-surface based on the estimate far-field signature ().

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for marine seismic exploration at least two different depths by means of streamers, each including a set of hydrophones, the acquisition of data at the different depths being performed in a single exploration region, and in which the position of the streamers and the hydrophones when acquiring seismic data at a first depth is independent of the position of the streamers and hydrophones when acquiring seismic data at a second depth.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of processing seismic data acquired by means of a sensor having at least three geophone components, characterized in that estimators are determined which are combinations of these components making it possible to isolate the various data depending on whether they correspond to propagation with reflection or with conversion. The estimators find application in particular for determining a sensor reconstruction according to which the operators to be applied to the various components of the sensor are determined in such a way as to minimize the deviation between reference data and data obtained by applying the estimators to the sensor reconstruction, the operators thus determined being applied to the data acquired.
