SEISMIC DATA ACQUISITION AND METHOD FOR SPATIALLY FILTERING SEISMIC DATA

摘要

A method of acquiring and processing seismic data involving deploying a number of seismic sensors, actuating a seismic source, receiving seismic signals produced by the seismic source using the seismic sensors, calculating offset distances (44) between the seismic source and the seismic sensors, and (42) producing spatially filtered seismic data from the received seismic signals. The inventive method may be used effectively with receiver arrays having smaller areal footprints and fewer sensors per receiver station location than conventional seismic data acquisition systems. It also allows ground roll and random noise to be effectively attenuated as the seismic data is spatially resampled or prepared for spatial resampling.
