SEISMIC SIGNALS, ACQUISITION AND INTERPRETATION METHODS
Abstract
In this article, we will present the types of seismic waves, how their collection is performed and their preparation for analysis and processing. Understanding these aspects can help improve in future any stage of the process, by using new hardware and/or software equipment, in continuous development around the world. There are three steps in seismic exploration of the ground. The first one is seismic data acquisition which is done in a specific location, ground or water, using a seismic source. The seismic wave generated by the source travels thru the layers of rock or sediments and is registered with the use of wave receivers also known as geophones or hydrophones. Data collected by this receivers is made in digital form, making it easier to be stored and analyzed on PC. After acquisition data needs to be processed, that means we need to identify and enhance the desired signal. A good system for processing the collected data will help to interpret the information and have a good image of the distribution of material proprieties of the subsurface.
