Description
This book introduces simultaneous source technology and helps those who practice it succeed. Although the book does not include all developments, which would have en-tailed a much longer treatise, this work is written through the lens of decades of experiences and allows readers to understand the development of independent simultaneous sourcing. The relationships between data acquisition and data processing are discussed because never before have they been so intertwined as in this area. In addition to describing the underlying technologies, this book also is a user-guide which discusses survey design and acquisition and decribes the sensitivities of the processing algorithms which can allow simultaneous source technology to succeed. The audience for this book includes acquisition and pro-cessing geophysicists who will work with these data as well as those who require only an overview of the state of the art; and, even though they may not need the full technical details, they may want to know the limitations and advantages of using simultaneous sources.

Ray Abma graduated from Stanford University in 1995 with a Ph.D. in geophysics after working in the Stanford Exploration Project with Jon Claerbout as his advisor. He graduated from Iowa State University in 1974 with a B.S. in Physics and minors in Mathematics and Computer Science. He worked for BP and ARCO as a senior research geophysicist from 1997 to 2018, Shell from 1995 to 1997, and Western Geophysical from 1974 to 1991. He is presently a visiting scientist at the Texas Consortium for Computational Seismology (TCCS) at the University of Texas in Austin. Ray's research interests are noise attenuation, interpolation and regularization, simultaneous sourcing, and coded sources.
Mark Foster retired from BP in 2016 as Director of Technology Integration, Upstream, based in London. During his 26-year career in BP, he held various positions in seismic processing, acquisition, and operations based in numerous locations around the world from Australia and Indonesia to Colombia and Trinidad and Tobago. These roles varied from running geophysical operations and survey teams to hands on seismic processing and processing QC roles. He created and ran the Land Seismic R&D program in 2006 that resulted in the acceptance of land simultaneous source technology at BP. Prior to BP, he worked for Shell International in The Netherlands as a seismic geophysicist. Mark has a Ph.D. in Solid State Physics from the Cavendish Laboratories of Cambridge University, UK where he also obtained a B.A./M.A. in Natural Sciences (Physics).
