Instrumentation, field work and interpretation procedure

Abstract

There are three components in a seismic survey, namely instrumentation, field work and interpretation, which must be well tuned to each other if reliable results are to be obtained. The time data provided by the equipment must have sufficient resolution, the field operations must yield adequate information and the interpretation work must do justice to the field data obtained. A fourth factor affecting the reliability of the results is the positioning of the seismic lines with regard to the geology and the possibilities and limitations of the method.
