Optimal restriction modeling: A new approach to station positioning
Keith Millis, Cameron Crook · 2013
Surface restrictions to seismic acquisition increasingly limit the ability to place stations at their theoretical locations. Consequently, the acquisition design process is faced with increased pressure to model programs with surface perturbations in mind (Cooper, 2004). An optimal restriction modeling method requires reshaping the surface design process to one that is driven by sampling, attribute and imaging objectives, and also respects restrictions and operational efficiencies.
