Imaging artifacts caused by strong internal multiples can interfere with primary images, affecting structural interpretation and amplitude analysis. In such cases, internal multiples are often attenuated in either data domain or in the image domain. In this abstract, we study three data-driven approaches: Jakubowicz, Inverse Scattering Series (ISS) and Marchenko for internal-multiple removal and analyze their performances. Each method has its unique advantages due to the differences among them. This knowledge, in turn, helps users to choose the appropriate method. Following the analysis, we show field data applications of these methods on towed steamer data.

Full-waveform inversion (FWI) requires either a good initial velocity model or low-frequency data to mitigate the cycleskipping issue. Reflection-waveform inversion (RWI) uses a migration/demigration process to retrieve a background model that can be used as a good initial velocity in FWI. The drawback of the conventional RWI is that it requires the use of a least-squares migration, which is often computationally expensive. Efficient wavefield inversion (EWI) is a recently developed method from wavefield reconstruction inversion (WRI). EWI uses a modified source function to introduce the multiscattering components in the reconstructed wavefield. However, when the initial velocity is far from the true one, the wavefield can not be accurately reconstructed. We incorporate the RWI formulation into EWI by inverting for the Born scattered wavefield instead of the wavefield itself. In this case, we use the perturbation related to secondary sources as a modified source function. As the sources in the reflection-based EWI (REWI) are located in the subsurface, we are able to update the background model along the reflection wave path. We calculate the background model perturbation by a deconvolution process in each frequency like what is done in the original EWI. We demonstrate the validity of the proposed approach using synthetic data generated for the Marmousi model.

The city-state of Singapore principally sits on granite bedrock known as the Bukit Timah formation. The Bukit Timah granite outcrops in the centre of Singapore, but it is buried below quaternary sediments known as the Old Alluvium formation in the east and north. Bedrock depth and faults in the shallow surface influence the stability of structures built above it, while the depth to bedrock constrains the water storage capacity and sub-soil water movement. Seismic methods are needed to image bedrock depth, however explosive methods are forbidden in the densely populated urban environment of Singapore. Passive seismic based on seismic interferometry is nondestructive and can provide us estimated detection depth. We apply the passive surface wave method based on seismic interferometry to the whole of Singapore island using a 1 month deployment of short-period nodes, to obtain the 3D velocity structure. We also obtain more detailed information in the Old Alluvium sediments by applying the MASW (multi-channel analysis of surface waves) method to linear geophone arrays. By analyzing the results from both tomography and MASW, we show that the granite bedrock beneath the Old Alluvium sediments is deeper than existing geological model suggests, which potentially increases the storage volume for fresh water in the deep underground acquifer.
