`Abstract
`Cost is one of the fimdarnental factors that determines where
`and how a seismic survey will be conducted. Moreover, the
`cost of 3-D seismic often plays a significant role in determining
`whether or not a prospect is economic. Costs of seismic data
`acquisition and processing have dropped dramatically as the
`technology has matured‘, however, these economies have raised
`demand for larger surveys, so there is still a great need to gain
`more efficiencies.
`In this paper we discuss a field experiment
`carried out to test the feasibility of employing sources activated
`simultaneously.
`Simultaneous source-firing has long been
`recognized as a possible strategy for achieving dramatic cost
`reductions in seismic data acquisition. Our approach is novel
`in that we do not require source signature encoding, but rather
`rely on spatial source positioning to allow for separation of the
`signals in subsequent data processing. We find that appropriate
`data processing sequences quite
`effectively separate the
`interfering signals and conclude that this approach may be an
`attractive econonric option for acquiring large 3-D surveys.
`
`Introduction
`A flmdamental factor in the cost of seismic data acquisition is
`the efficiency of source and receiver effort. On the receiver
`side, the increase in seismic channel count of recent years has
`resulted in increased spatial sampling and more efficient 3-D
`operations. Much has been done to increase source efficiency
`as Well.
`Simultaneous drilling and shooting operations and
`multiple vibrator groups are effective on land‘,
`flip-flop
`shooting for streamer surveys essentially doubles single-source
`production rates. The fundamental assumption in designing
`such field systems, that only one source can be active for a
`given seismic record,
`imposes an upper
`limit on source
`efficiency.
`In this paper we consider the possibility of using
`two or more sources simultaneously to achieve higher rates of
`3-D acquisition efficiency. Our approach differs from previous
`work on simultaneous-source operations in that we exploit
`spatial positioning of sources to enhance signal separation.
`
`Simultaneous sources
`Increasing field efficiency by recording more than one source
`has been explored by means of encoded vibrator sweeps that, in
`some sense, are orthogonal, (Garotta, 1983', Wornack et al.,
`1990).
`In theory, subsequent processing of the recorded data
`by crosscorrelation with the different sweeps separates the
`signals resulting from each source from the other and produces
`shot
`records equivalent
`to single-source acquisition. This
`approach has not been widely adopted in practice because of
`residual cross
`talk after
`separation.
`Sweep length and
`repeatability, harmonic distortion, and other factors have been
`identified as possible contributors to the cross talk. The
`
`1998 SEG Expanded Abstracts
`
`encoded sweep approach is also limited in that it does not apply
`direcfly to impulsive sources such as dynamite or air guns.
`
`In this paper we consider positioning the simultaneously
`activated sources so that processing ofthe data will enhance the
`signal fiom each. As an example, consider the CMP gather
`shown in Figure 1. The sources in this case were airguns
`placed almost symmetrically off the ends of a 2-D marine
`cable.
`As the cable moved forward,
`the sources
`fired
`simultaneously, each on station Because two sources are firing
`simultaneously, the concept of associating surface coordinates
`with a trace is ambiguous — quantities such as source position
`and common midpoint are dual valued. To form the CMP
`gather we selected the aft source and derived the CMP
`geometry using surface positions for it and the cable. A similar
`procedure can be used to generate CMP gathers based on the
`forward source. Because of NMO, the signals from the two
`sources exhibit significant local differences in time dip. As a
`result, geometry-related filters will separate the two signals.
`Figure 2 shows the CMP gather from Figure 1 after application
`of a geometry-related filter applied in the CMP domain. The
`filter is all-pass for data consistent with the aft source and
`rejects data that are inconsistent with this geometry.
`
`One particularly simple such filter is the CMP stack itself.
`Figure 3 shows a stack of a portion of the line acquired as
`described above. As in Figures 1 and 2, geometry relating to
`the aft source was assigned to the data to derive CMP locations
`prior to stacking. Since the moveout relative to the forward
`geometry is incorrect for the data related to the aft source, the
`NMO and stack process suppresses data fi'om the forward
`source. Although somewhat noisy, the stack is surprisingly
`good considering the amount of interfering signal evident in
`Figure 1. Now compare Figure 3 with Figure 4.
`In Figure 4
`we applied the geometry-related filter described above for
`Figure 2 prior to stacking. Note that prestack filtering has
`enhanced the stack quality. Figure 5 shows a difference section
`for Figures 3 and 4 and demonstrates that prestack filtering of
`the data has removed a substantial amount of the interfering-
`so11rce data that have survived the stacking process. Although
`this example shows that relatively little data fiom the forward
`source has leaked through the conventional stack in Figure 3,
`prestack analysis of the data
`clearly requires prestack
`separation ofthe signals.
`
`Other filtering processes
`In the simple example above, we have relied on NMO as a
`distinguishing characteristic for the data generated from two
`sources.
`This may be sufficient
`for simple geology, but
`complexity in the subsurface will distort the moveout. Even

`A new look at simultaneous sources
`
`assuming constant velocity, steeply dipping reflectors will
`exhibit little moveout. Moreover, complex velocity regimes
`yield distorted moveout trajectories. For these cases geometry-
`related filters become more complex than for the simple case
`shown above and may no longer be strictly related to the
`geometry alone.
`
`A possible solution to this complication is to take advantage of
`the filtering capabilities of imaging processes such as DMO
`and prestack migration. In the example above, NMO and stack
`were used to discriminate one source from the other.
`Imaging
`techniques more powerful than NMO and stack should have a
`more powerful effect on suppressing interfering shot noise.
`Figure 6 shows the result of applying DMO and stack after the
`data have been filtered as described in Figure 2. Note the
`considerable noise reduction.
`Sigrificantly,
`these data are
`obtained fiom applying only the afi source geometry to the
`data. The same processes can be applied using the forward
`source geometry and the two data sets combined, resulting in
`even more noise reduction. Similarly, processes such as 3-D
`prestack depth migration will impose powerful noise rejection
`on the signal from interfering shots.
`
`Discussion and conclusions
`
`One practical difficulty in carrying out the filtering processes
`described above is
`the likelihood of spatial aliasing —
`particularly on the high mergy early arrivals
`from the
`interfering shot.
`Interpolation can be used to reduce spatial
`
`aliasing and improve rejection characteristics of the various
`filtering processes. Another possible concern is the dynamic
`range of the recording system and processing algorithms. The
`strong first arrivals in the deep-water marine case above
`interfere with weaker reflections fiom the opposite source.
`High-fidelity recording and processing is required to separate
`the two types of events.
`
`We have demonstrated an approach to simultaneous-source
`acquisition that uses
`significant spatial
`separation of the
`sources to aid in processing the data.
`In the case considered,
`simple NMO was used to discriminate between the signals
`generated by two interfering sources. Although the CMIP stack
`did function as a filter, the data were irrproved by means of a
`prestack geometry-related filter. Further signal enhancement
`was obtained by applying DMO and stack. Such techniques
`may not be appropriate for all geological regimes, but the
`potentially large econorric impact of using simultaneous
`sources warrants fixrther investigation.
