Abstract
Increasing the bandwidth, both horizontally and vertically plays an important role in seismic inversion and reservoir characterization. This talk will present an overview of a novel multi-component (MC) marine seismic acquisition system combined with advanced data processing techniques that use the pressure recordings and its associated vertical and cross-line spatial gradients to estimate the scattered subsurface wavefield with unprecedented spatial wavenumber and temporal bandwidth content. Results from an experimental test with a mini-3D array of prototype MC streamers will be presented and the discussion focused on the consequences of the overall temporal and wavenumber bandwidth enhancements onto migration and inversion processing and applications. Preliminary well-tie and inversion results will be discussed.
