B004 Z-99 Increasing Ray-path Density in Land Seismic Acquisition – The Source Problem. Abstract 1 JULIEN MEUNIER* AND THOMAS BIANCHI Compagnie Générale de Géophysique 1 rue Léon Migaux 91341 Massy France For a wide range of reasons such as illumination surface multiple and surface noise reduction increases in source and receiver density are required in land seismic operations. From an economic point of view an increase in receiver density requires extra investment extra labor and a high shooting rate while an increase in source density mainly requires only high shooting rate. From a technical point of view a significant increase
