Abstract

A method, apparatus and system for acquiring seismic data is disclosed that in one aspect receives a seismic signal detected by at least one sensor in response to a seismic energy signal generated by a source at a selected location at a data acquisition unit in data that is in data communication with the sensor, receives at least one parameter of the source and / or receiver at the data acquisition unit; and generates a data block at the data acquisition unit having data representative of the received seismic signal and a header that contains data representative of the at least one parameter of the source and / or receiver. It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract which will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure. It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0001] This application takes priority from Provisional Application Ser. No. 60 / 812,568, filed on Jun. 10, 2006.FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE

[0002] The disclosure relates generally to devices, systems and methods relating to seismic surveying and for integrating one or more survey parameters into trace headers. BACKGROUND INFORMATION

[0003] Seismic surveys are conducted on land and over water to obtain images of subsurface formations to determine the location and extent of hydrocarbons, such as oil and gas. Seismic surveys are typically conducted over land by deploying a large array of seismic sensors over a surface portion of the earth. Typically, such arrays cover several square kilometers, for example 75-100 square kilometers, utilizing a few thousand, for example 2000 to 5000, seismic receivers or sensors. An energy source (typically a buried explosive source or a mobile vibratory source) is activated within the array to generate an acoustic en...
