Description

Wavefield sampling may be at a crossroads: philosophical and/or practical. While the progression to denser acquisition in the industry has delivered higher-quality subsurface images, the operational and cost challenges are considerable, particularly on land. Recent advances in irregular sampling strategies and compressive techniques may stand to challenge the march towards ever-increasing acquisition densities. Advanced wavefield reconstruction methods and/or different measurements could be enablers for sampling goals seemingly impractical or uneconomic. With field data examples, this workshop explores the benefits of density in seismic acquisition and the potential of smart wavefield reconstruction to push boundaries and unlock new potential.

Sub-Topics that will be covered in the workshop:

Acquisition design, regular versus irregular sampling, interpolation and wavefield reconstruction, operational challenges, field data, and case examples.

Carbon Capture Storage (CCS) concept of environmental.Reducing carbon emissions commitment to limit climate change and global warming.Net zero action, Save green energy, Earth image courtesy of NASA.
Wooden blocks with the words Net zero 2050 on wooden table over blur green tree., Environmental concept, modern Energy generation, elimination of co2, zero carbon footprint, reduction of pollution

Participant Profile

This workshop brings together professionals and researchers from industry and academia who are involved and interested in seismic data acquisition, processing, survey design, and new sampling technologies or reconstruction methods. From traditional acquisition to compressive techniques and wave-field reconstruction, the participant will enjoy valuable discussions and opportunities to connect with others leading the future of seismic sampling.
