Patent ID: 11435492

Abstract:
The present invention concerns a method for determining the optimum positioning of source-receiver pairs capable of acquiring seismic data, comprising: a first step of identifying a zone of interest having been the subject of an earlier seismic acquisition, in order to obtain an image of the subsoil of same; a second step of obtaining seismic data acquired during the earlier seismic acquisition of said zone of interest during a time of interest; a third step of applying a partial or total demigration of seismic data, in order to determine the positions of each source-receiver pair having contributed to the image of said subsoil of said zone of interest during said time of interest; a fourth step of obtaining unprocessed traces for said source-receiver pair positions; a fifth step of selecting at least one optimum unprocessed trace from among said unprocessed traces; and a sixth step of determining the source-receiver pair positions corresponding to said at least one optimum unprocessed trace.
