Abstract

Within the last two years six new land seismic nodal acquisition systems have been launched, a pace unmatched even during the oil boom of the late 2000s/early 2010s. Any acquisition system that utilizes recording instrumentation that does not incorporate cables is often referred to as a nodal system. Some instruments, however, are beginning to blur what initially appears to be a clear boundary. For example, the U-Node system from Seismic Instruments utilizes a node that records data from up to 24 different channels that can then be stored locally or transmitted via Wi-Fi to a central system. The reduction in cabling, which is usually cited as the core advantage of nodal recording, is therefore limited to the backbone connecting the central recording system to the field recording units. In this paper we will concentrate on nodes that are designed to record data from a single point and are thus typically limited to six or fewer channels.
