Method for improving 2D seismic acquisition

Abstract

The present invention pertains to the fields of geology and geophysics, is designed for use for onshore seismic acquisition. The method involves distributing and arranging the elements used in the acquisition of two-dimensional seismic data from dynamite sources, enabling imaging quality to be improved. The use of sources of dynamite with single charges and variable weight at each shot point results in the generation of seismic waves with variable energy that provide reflections with complementary frequency and amplitudes content for use in the geophysical imaging of geological features. The stacking of this incremental content generated by charges of variable weights results in a significant improvement in the resolution of the processed seismic data on both the continuity of stratigraphic reflectors and existing geological framework.
