Acquisition Design Loop and Predictions of Seismic Qualities

A35 ACQUISITION DESIGN LOOP AND PREDICTIONS OF SEISMIC QUALITIES Introduction 1 Fundamental issues in the acquisition design loop are acquisition specifications seismic qualities seismic cost and seismic payback. In this paper we discuss the design loop from a user perspective and present a method for predictions of seismic qualities based on seismic modeling. This method is efficient because it is automated simplified and separated in two loops. We define “notional seismic qualities”. These qualities can be convolved with the target response and quickly display the image quality of any target shape. By splitting the prediction of seismic qualities in two
