3D Seismic Survey Design and Planning at Dayboro
Geophysical
Experience exceeding 24 years covering
all types of land, transition zone,
and marine 3D seismic survey designs:
Foothills, Mountains, Plains and Desert Swamps,
rivers, surf and transition zones
Canada, US, Libya, Egypt, Yemen, Saudi, Romania, Greece, Asia Pacific
Marine in West Africa, North Sea, Angola, EastCoast Canada, Arctic
Multi-environment, Multi-source/receiver type, High Resolution and other
special applications Merging land,
transition zone and marine surveys together
Optimisation and improving 3D seismic data involves many considerations and factors during design and planning. All aspects of geophysical, logistical and cost contraints are analysed in conjunction with the survey objectives, requirements and priorities. Equipment availability and suitability. Technical derivation of parameters and design refinement
3D Design considerations include these examples: Previous data quality and appropriateness Target horizon depths, dips, frequencies required, source-types Improvements in parameter selection Terrain and Environmental constraints or regulations Equipment availability, logistics and crew costs Optimising survey area and size Source receiver geometry and recording production planning Local community considerations Costs associated with all of the above
