Abstract
In some examples, the disclosure provides a method for deploying a plurality N of seismic sensors, wherein each seismic sensor is adapted to measure seismic energy with at least one gain, within a survey area, the method comprising: obtaining a plurality M of gains from which the at least one gain may be selected; configuring the plurality N of seismic sensors such that, for each given gain of the obtained plurality M of gains, at least N/M seismic sensors are adapted to measure the seismic energy with at least one corresponding gain; and deploying the plurality N of configured seismic sensors on the survey area.
Claims19
A method for deploying a plurality N of seismic sensors, with a given dynamic range D, wherein each seismic sensor is adapted to measure seismic energy with at least one gain, within a survey area, the method comprising:
- obtaining a plurality M of gains from which at least one gain may be selected;
- configuring the plurality N of seismic sensors such that, for each given gain of the obtained plurality M of gains, at least N/M seismic sensors are adapted to measure the seismic energy with at least one corresponding gain;
- and
- deploying the plurality N of configured seismic sensors on the survey area.
A method for processing seismic data, comprising:
- obtaining seismic data, for each seismic sensor of a plurality N of seismic sensors deployed within a survey area, wherein each seismic sensor is adapted to measure seismic energy with at least one gain selected from a plurality M of gains, and a dynamic range D,
- wherein, for each given gain of the obtained plurality M of gains, at least N/M seismic sensors are adapted to measure the seismic energy with at least one corresponding gain;
- and
- combining the seismic data obtained from the plurality N of seismic sensors.
