Abstract

Seismic data is deblended by performing, for each receiver, a first inversion and a second inversion in a transform domain. The first inversion is formulated to minimize a number of non-zero coefficients of the first inversion result. A sub-domain of the transform domain is defined by vectors of a transform domain basis for which the first inversion has yielded the non-zero coefficients. The second inversion is performed in this sub-domain. The solution of the second inversion is used to extract deblended seismic datasets corresponding to each of the distinct signals, from the seismic data.
