START UP ACQUISITION PARAMETERS Saudi Geophysical Consulting's geophysicists are involved with each survey design to ensure that the seismic acquisition parameters are optimized with regard to data quality and cost. The parameters are continually monitored so that the project objectives are met. Our teams understand the local geology and have extensive experience working in the nation’s E&P regions, so you can be assured the survey delivered is ready for processing. We could help to assess the seismic survey by helping the operating company to select the appropriate type of sweep design, either linear upsweep or downsweep, logarithmic, vari sweep, range of frequencies, taper, length of the sweep, number of sweeps and how to maintain the signal to nose ratio either changing the number of sweeps or the length of the sweep when etc. We optomize marine and OBC surveys. How many streamers the boat should tow??? air gun volume, what are the frequencies you wish to obtain from the seismic data?? Most of our field consultants carry Pelton Software with Vibra SIG, PSS and sweep design routines loaded in their Notebooks plus our proprietary software for Pelton Electronics. They also have available some other proprietary software to deal with sweep design. We could see any inline or any crossline at any particular X,Y. At the same time, while doing it, we are checking the final SEG-Y seismic data going to the final processing center. We make sure that the data is being read properly without tape reading problems and the geometry has been properly applied. Figure 01.
