Popis: Near Field Hydrophone (NFH) data are routinely collected during marine acquisition and historically these data were used to QC air-gun timings and/or other air-gun-related issues. More recently (last 10-15 years), these data were recorded and employed during processing to aid both 1D and 2D source-signature deconvolution. The results presented here demonstrate it is possible to obtain a high-resolution image (greater than 100 Hz) of the near subsurface (0-1 s) using passive NFH array data. Similar results are also achieved with the active NFH array although noise handling in processing is more difficult. NFH data for imaging, can be a natural by-product of conventional marine seismic acquisition, with minimal additional processing cost. Potential uses could include: replacing requirements for a high-resolution 2D acquisition for site surveys, utilizing a source-only vessel for localized overburden and reservoir 4D monitoring, as well as improved deghosting and integration with distributed acoustic sensor vertical seismic profile data.
