Patch

Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-002720

A group of receiver lines that are live and recording for a given shot in a land 3D survey, forming the active recording spread. As shooting progresses the patch is rolled forward across the survey area by switching on lines at the leading edge and dropping lines behind. Its dimensions limit the largest source-receiver offsets that can be recorded.
