METHOD FOR CUSTOMIZING SEISMIC EXPLOSIVES

摘要

A method for identifying optimal seismic energy source configurations for a selected seismic survey area. Physical properties of the surface or near-surface soil or rock are assessed and are tested to determine the response of such soil to energy source characteristics and geometries. A test model for a source is generated and is projected to create a far-field seismic response model. A seismic event is initiated within the survey area to measure seismic data, and such measured data is compared against the far-field seismic response model. Differences can be assessed to permit modifications to the model, and the model can be tested for different types and configurations of seismic source energy sources.
