Land 3-D seismic surveys require hundreds of tons of state-of-the-art electrical equipment, large crews, and many vehicles to be distributed over tens to hundreds of acres of farmland, mountains, factories, and suburbs for several months. Being too conservative in the survey design can lead to a significant increase in the disturbance and the HSE exposure as well as reducing the economic rate of return. The goal is to design a "fit-for-purpose" survey that ensures the data adequately image the subsurface and are suitable for reservoir property prediction while minimizing environmental ...
