This course identifies common sources of noise in seismic surveys and lists some of their effects on the seismic data. The six key acquisition parameters that must be defined in the planning phase of a seismic acquisition project are listed. How seismic arrays can attenuate surface waves is explained. Three purposes of receiver arrays are defined. The basic events on a seismic record are identified and what they represent are described. The elements of multiple coverage in a 3D survey are outlined. Examples of when 2D or 3D work would be a better choice for a project are detailed. Several major considerations when selecting seismic line locations are listed. The typical seismic field crew hierarchy and the major responsibilities of key positions are explained.
The tools and systems used to accurately position seismic equipment in the field are presented.
