Abstract
A method of seismic exploration above a region of the subsurface containing structural or stratigraphic features conducive to the presence, migration, or accumulation of hydrocarbons comprises accessing at least a portion of a blended seismic source survey, separating the at least two interfering seismic source excitations using inversion separation, producing one or more source gathers based on the separating, and using the one or more source gathers to explore for hydrocarbons within said region of the subsurface. The blended source seismic survey contains at least two interfering seismic source excitations therein, and the seismic source excitations can be produced by seismic source types having different signatures or frequency characteristics.
