Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-003319

A systematic acquisition of seismic data over a specific area to image the subsurface geology. It involves deploying seismic sources and receivers in a planned geometry, either on land or at sea. Surveys can be 2D, 3D, or 4D (time-lapse) depending on the spatial and temporal coverage required for exploration or reservoir monitoring.
