Conclusions

Multisource full waveform inversion of supergathers for marine data is implemented with a frequency selection strategy. The key enabling property of frequency selection is that it eliminates the crosstalk among sources, thus overcoming the aperture mismatch of marine multisource inversion. This method is now extended to the FDTD from the previous implementation with phase shift migration. Tests on multisource FWI of synthetic marine data set and GOM data set show speedups of $ 4\times$ and $ 8\times$ , respectively, compared to coventional FWI.
