1) Mine Clearance (removal of small arms) if needed
2) The area is surveyed to determine shot and receiver locations using integrated handheld survey equipment which uses GPS or Laser ranging to determine distances, elevations, and locations.
3) Flags are planted at shot and receiver-station locations. Accuracy for measuring distances in land surveying is less than 1cm.
4) Shot holes are drilled (only if dynamite is the source of energy)
5) Seismic cables are laid-out, geophones planted at correct locations.

9) Data acquisition in the vicinity of cultural locations should be coordinated to increase safety and decrease noise.
10) After the shot-holes or vibrating points are recorded, cables are moved to the adjoining area to continue the survey.
11) Moving cables should be properly coordinated with data acquisition and movement of equipment and personnel should not interfere with data recording

1- 1- Streamers are lowered. All sections and connected equipment are checked.
2- Gun arrays are lowered.
3- After deploying the streamers and the air gun arrays, the vessel proceeds to the data area.
4- The guns refill time is 8 seconds and the vessel speed is about 4.65 knots, and divided by 8 seconds gives a shot interval of 18.75 meters. The shot interval is varied by changing the speed or changing the firing interval.

5) Recording 2 ms sampling interval, 5 second record length, 148 channels for each streamer, 6 streamers, and 1000 shots give 2.22 billion samples of data. Seismic data is recorded on cartridges.
6) Vessel must be steered close to the lines being surveyed.
7) Navigation and steering must be coordinated at all times.
8) Time sharing in the field with other seismic data acquisition vessels in the area is coordinated to avoid interference between crews.

There are several advantages in acquiring seismic data using an ocean-bottom cable.
The sea floor is generally a quieter environment to record seismic data than the surface, with better coupling, and shorter travel times in deepwater surveys. The result is often seismic data with improved signal content and frequency bandwidth compared to conventional streamers.
Shear waves do not travel through water, and so conventional marine sources do not generate them and hydrophones will not record them. However, part of the downgoing p-wave energy produced by an airgun will be converted to upgoing shear wave energy at a reflecting horizon. Shear wave receivers placed on the seafloor will be able to record this mode-converted shear wave energy.

A seismic attribute is any measure of seismic data that helps us better visualize or quantify features of interpretation interest. Seismic attributes fall into two broad categories – those that help us quantify the morphological component of seismic data (e.g. Coherency Cube) and those that help us quantify the reflectivity component of seismic data (e.g. AVO). The morphological attributes help us extract information on reflector dip, azimuth, and terminations, which can in turn be related to faults, channels, fractures, diapirs, and carbonate buildups. The reflectivity attributes help us extract information on reflector amplitude, waveform, and variation with illumination angle, which can in turn be related to lithology, reservoir thickness, and the presence of hydrocarbons.

When we throw a stone into water, the When we throw a stone into water, the amplitude of the wave will be different at amplitude of the wave will be different at different incident angle. When we send a different incident angle. When we send a wave (instead of stone) into earth (which is wave (instead of stone) into earth (which is filled with fluids), the amplitude of the filled with fluids), the amplitude of the wave will vary with incidence angle (or wave will vary with incidence angle (or offset, as the offset increase the incidence offset, as the offset increase the incidence angle increase). This variation is called angle increase). This variation is called “Amplitude Variation with Offset” or “AVO”“Amplitude Variation with Offset” or “AVO”

The AVO response depend on the The AVO response depend on the elasticity of the fluid (expressed by elasticity of the fluid (expressed by Poisson’s ratio Vp/Vs). As water is very Poisson’s ratio Vp/Vs). As water is very inelastic and gas is very elastic, the AVO inelastic and gas is very elastic, the AVO response in the case of Gas-wet sand is response in the case of Gas-wet sand is opposite of the AVO response in the case opposite of the AVO response in the case of Water-wet sand.of Water-wet sand.
