OptiSeis has a featured article in this special Land Seismic Issue of First Break. Andrea Crook, Mostafa Naghizadeh, Peter Vermeulen, Devin Gagnier, and Carl Reine present results from a 2D Field Trial conducted in the Canadian Oil Sands that compared a small, near-surface explosive source with a conventional explosive source.

By Andrea Crook, P.Geoph. Over the past 10 years, land seismic acquisition has changed significantly. Nodal/cable-less systems have broadly replaced cabled systems, vibroseis sources have replaced explosive sources even in areas with difficult terrain, and high-density seismic programs are becoming commonplace. This article, based on the Chief Geophysicists Forum presentation “Top 5 Innovations in Geophysical […]

By Andrea Crook, P.Geoph. For large seismic exclusion zones affecting numerous source and/or receiver stations, should all the stations within the exclusion be skidded or offset around the edges of the exclusion, or should select stations that provide the most geophysical and economic value be used instead? How do we quantify station value? Is it […]

By Keith Millis Summary Surface restrictions to seismic acquisition pose an increasingly complex challenge to imaging desired targets. Some surface restrictions are time variant and require the acquisition team to be highly adaptable and responsive to changing conditions. There are aspects to nodal systems that can enhance this adaptability. Discussions on the benefits of nodal […]
