We have developed an adaptive double-focusing method that is specifically designed for the field-data application of source-receiver Marchenko redatuming. Typically, the single-focusing Marchenko method is combined with a multidimensional deconvolution (MDD) to achieve redatuming. Our method replaces the MDD step by a second focusing step that naturally complements the single-focusing Marchenko method. Instead of performing the MDD method with the directionally decomposed Green's functions that result from single-focusing, we now use the retrieved upgoing Green's function and the retrieved downgoing focusing function to obtain a redatumed reflection response in the physical medium. Consequently, we only remove the strongest overburden effects instead of removing all of the overburden effects. However, the gain is a robust method that is less sensitive to imperfections in the data and a sparse acquisition geometry than the MDD method. In addition, it is computationally much cheaper, more straightforward to implement, and it can be parallelized over pairs of focal points, which makes it suitable for application to large data volumes. We evaluate the successful application of our method to 2D field data of the Santos Basin.

In this paper, we focus on the field data application of source-receiver Marchenko redatuming. Conventionally, a source-receiver redatumed reflection response is obtained by first applying the Marchenko method for receiver-redatuming and then performing a multi-dimensional deconvolution (MDD) for sourceredatuming (Wapenaar et al. (2014)). The obtained reflection response is free from any interactions with the overburden. However, the MDD solves an ill-posed inverse problem (van der Neut et al. (2011a)), which makes it sensitive to imperfections in the data and the acquisition geometry. This is a problem for the field data application, since neither the data nor the acquisition geometry are ever perfect. In addition, MDD is computationally expensive.@en
