A technique includes towing at least one seismic source in connection with a survey of a structure; and operating the seismic source(s) to fire shots, where each shot is associated with a frequency sweep. The technique includes varying phases of the frequency sweeps from shot to shot according to a predetermined phase sequence to allow noise in an energy sensed by seismic sensors to be attenuated.

A vibration detection system includes a seismic source device that generates a vibration wave repeated with a predetermined period, a vibration receiving device that receives a response wave due to the vibration wave transmitted via the ground, and a signal processing apparatus that processes measured vibration signals received by the vibration receiving device. The signal processing apparatus includes a separating part that separates individual periodic signals having a period according to a periodicity of the vibration wave generated by the seismic source from the measured vibration signals, the calculating part that calculates the standard periodic signal from the separated individual periodic signals, and the generating part that subtracts the standard periodic signal from the measured vibration signals and generates differential signals.

Improved methods of providing acoustic source signals for seismic surveying, wherein a plurality of signals can be easily separated from one another after data acquisition, wherein the source signals are not sweep based.

Methods and systems for estimating converted-wave statics are disclosed. The methods include obtaining a multicomponent seismic dataset for a subterranean region, determining an array of PP-source statics and an array of PP-receiver statics for the PP-seismic dataset, generating a PP-receiver stack based on the PP-seismic dataset, the array of PP-source statics, and the array of PP-receiver statics, and generating a PS-receiver stack based on the PS-seismic dataset and the array of PP-source statics. The methods also include identifying a PP-target event on the PP-receiver stack, forming a space-time window of the PS-receiver stack guided by the PP-target event, determining an objective function, and determining an array of PS-receiver statics based on an extremum of the objective function. The methods further include forming a statics-corrected PS-seismic dataset based on the array of PS-receiver statics and the array of PP-source statics, and forming a seismic image based on the statics-corrected PS-seismic dataset.
