Seismic acquisition

Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-003309

The process of collecting seismic data by generating acoustic energy and recording the reflected or refracted waves. This involves deploying sources, such as vibrators or air guns, and receivers, like geophones or hydrophones, across a survey area. The collected data forms the raw input for subsequent processing and interpretation to map subsurface geology.
