Data Processing • Apply a bandpass filter of 15 ~ 70 Hz. • Correct for the geometric spreading: 3D → 2D. • Correct for attenuation by an estimated Q. • Mute the near-offset traces within 14 m. • Extract a natural source wavelet by averaging the near-offset first arrivals.
Resistivity Result P2 P2 P1 P1
Land Streamer Test Test # 1 Saudi Arabia
Land Streamer Geophysical Field Laboratory at KAUST has • 5 land streamers • P-wave geophones • 24-channel at each streamer • Up to 2 m geophone interval
Test # 1 • Data are collected at Saudi Arabia • Two parallel lines are collected • The first is a conventional seismic profile, where geophones are planted in the ground • The second is a land streamer survey
