Planning Land 3D Seismic Surveys





Acknowledgments

The authors wish to acknowledge the contributions from the staff members of Geophysical

Exploration & Development Corporation and Seismic Image Software Ltd., both of Calgary,

Alberta, Canada.

Several other individuals made significant contributions to this volume: in particular, Peter

Eick of Conoco, who added a lot of practical perspective (and photographs), Gijs J. O. Vermeer

of 3DSymSam, and Malcolm Lansley of Western Geophysical, who reviewed the text at an earlier

stage and had many suggestions, which, in part, have been incorporated.

We also thank the people who have taken our 3-D design courses and who have contributed

to this book through their numerous discussions with us. With their help, many aspects of 3-D

design became more clearly understood.



Introduction

This book is intended to give readers the tools to

start designing 3-D seismic surveys. The substantial

experiences of the authors in designing and acquiring

land 3-D seismic surveys make this a practical book.

Readers are expected to have a general working

knowledge of 2-D seismic data acquisition, processing,

and interpretation.

Some 3-D experience is helpful

but not necessary to understand this material.

Practical exercises are

included to facilitate understanding

of the subject matter.
