HQ & Full Fidelity 3D Land Seismic Data Acquisition – Experiences and Approaches in High Inhabited Areas

A03 HQ & FULL FIDELITY 3D LAND SEISMIC DATA ACQUISITION – EXPERIENCES AND APPROACHES IN HIGH INHABITED AREAS Introduction 1 The necessity of high resolution 3D seismic data is of paramount importance. Today thanks to the very dramatic development of electronics in the last few years the single sensor/single channel acquisition seems to be the optimal tool. Unfortunately the effective drawbacks discouraging the actual use of this technology are the operative constraints and high costs mainly due to the large recording channel number and the huge amount of data to be managed. This is particularly true in highly inhabited areas
