Short Course

SC-12: Innovations in Land Seismic Acquisition

Monday, 25 August | 8:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m. | George R. Brown Convention Center

Sponsored by the Society of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG)


This course is designed to provide attendees with a broad overview of recent innovations in seismic acquisition. The course is divided into four topics: advances in seismic acquisition sampling, sensors, sources, and sustainability. Examples from real datasets will be utilized to highlight the benefits of adopting modern seismic acquisition methods. Seismic sampling will focus on comparing various types of acquisition geometries from the perspective of both field acquisition and final processed products. Students will learn how to ensure a survey is designed for advanced processing and other analyses. Comparisons of various seismic sensors and sources will be shared utilizing recent case studies. Students will learn how to evaluate and select the appropriate seismic equipment for their survey type and surface conditions. The sustainability section will focus on environmental considerations in survey design and field implementation as well as optimization for multi-year timelapse surveys. Attendees will learn how to build resilience into their timelapse land programs including how to ensure continuity in the presence of changing surface exclusions and updates in seismic equipment.
