eSeismic Potential for Reduced Environmental Impact and Higher Efficiency
(WorldNews Norway)

This novel method is currently under development in PGS` R&D unit and involves the continuous recording of seismic data for as long as it takes to acquire the sail lines. The sources are also operated continuously and the field trial confirms the potential benefits of recording of continuous source and receiver wavefields including reduced environmental impact, improved efficiency and better data quality. eSeismic development is funded by The Research Council of Norway, Equinor and PGS. Timeslice from the eSeismic 3D pilot survey in Brazil in 2018. Reducing the energy emitted reduces environmental impact whilst preserving data quality. To use the method with existing equipment, individual...
