Impact of Equipment on Seismic Performance

Audience

Non-geophysicists working for companies related to the seismic industry.

Content

This course begins with a review of the basics of survey geometry and seismic operations.

This is followed by a discussion of the challenges faced to deliver a better seismic image. Equipment versus recording needs is covered in detail.

This course also includes a review of positioning in seismic operations, the impact on data quality, productivity, and 4D seismic. The course concludes by examining high-density acquisition, broadband solutions and their principles, field implementation, and quality control.

 Learning Objectives

• Understand the impact on data quality of seismic operations, field constraints, recording, positioning, and processing
• Understand current trends in the seismic industry; high-productivity acquisition techniques, wide-azimuth / dense acquisition, broadband solutions
• Understand their impact on quality control
