f Broadband Full-Azimuth 3D Land Seismic Acquisition - Managing 100,000 Channels, Over 20,000 Vibrator Source Points, and 24 Terabytes of Uncorrelated Data per Day

On land, broadband simultaneous vibroseis acquisition methods and high-channel count recording systems provide key technologies for the acquisition of full-azimuth 3D seismic surveys. This paper focuses on the experience gained in the acquisition and processing of two high density source (1,280 and 3,200 VPs/km2) and receiver (640 stations/km2) surveys, and reviews a new high-productivity field test for optimal de-noising.
