ORIENTATION OF 2-D LINE...
There is an axiom in reflection
seismology that says orientation
of the seismic reflection line is
the single most important item in
acquisition and processing of thedata. These lines, taken from a
3-D data volume illustrate this.

HERES A GOOD IDEA
D a n b om G e op hy si cs
Certain identified formational
tops can be isolated in the 3-D
data volume and then the other
data can be made transparent...

3-D SURVEY WITH
GEOPHONES
For this example the seismic
data shown have been 3-D
migrated and the marine data
acquisition was acquired with
geophones connected to theocean bottom instead of
hydrophones trailed in a
streamer behind the boat.
