Abstract

By summarizing the experiences of routine acquisition geometry designs, and using the 3D seismic survey data of a less explored region for instance, this paper put forward an acquisition geometry design method for less explored region plus the geological stratum calibration by reflection wave and time-depth conversion method. After drilling data and roadway data verification, the re-argumentation of acquisition geometry parameters for parameter determination and the forward modeling technique for geological stratum calibration and the stacking velocity time-depth conversion were proved to be very effective in improving the accuracy of seismic survey.

Keywords: Acquisition geometry, forward modeling, geological stratum calibration, less explored region.
