Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A technique includes obtaining multi-component seismic data acquired by two or more seismic sensors while in tow. The multi-component seismic data is indicative of a pressure wavefield and particle motion. The technique includes based on the data, determining at least one high order (i.e., second order or higher) spatial derivative of the pressure wavefield.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method comprising: obtaining first multi-component seismic data acquired by at least one seismic sensor of a first seismic streamer while in tow and second multi-component seismic data acquired by at least one seismic sensor of a second seismic streamer while in tow, the first and second multi-component data being indicative of a pressure wavefield and a particle motion; modeling a spatial derivative of the pressure wavefield as a function of at least th…
