Wave equation receiver deghosting

Current solutions to receiver deghosting generally involve making complementary measurements of the wavefield or, alternatively, involve estimation of data not recorded due to ghost interference. Both solutions offer challenges in practice in that marine multimeasurement streamers are commercially available only on a limited basis and existing single-measurement deghosting methods must estimate unrecorded frequencies near the ghost notches. Here, we develop a new wave equation-based approach for single measurement deghosting that does not rely on such estimation procedures.
