  • Systems for acquiring and processing seismic data
    Patent number: 9810798
    Abstract: Systems and methods may be provided for setting up a geophysical seismic information-gathering grid utilizing a source pattern including but not limited to a “slant” or “diamond” source as well as a receiver pattern using base patterns including but not limited to “I+H” or “H+I” and “box plus.” Use of such base patterns may allow seismic data to be collected and processed using a reduced number of sources and receivers to provide a seismic imaging plot having increased and noticeably improved resolution than is presently available.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 3, 2015
    Date of Patent: November 7, 2017
    Assignee: Safe Seismic, LLC
    Inventors: Steve Culpepper, Donnie Hicks, Trace Maurin

  • Systems for acquiring and processing seismic data
    Patent number: 9128199
    Abstract: Systems and methods may be provided for setting up a geophysical seismic information-gathering grid utilizing an alternating source pattern as well as an alternating receiver pattern using base patterns including but not limited to “I+H” or “H+I” and “box plus.” Use of such base patterns may allow seismic data to be collected and processed using a reduced number of sources and receivers to provide a seismic imaging plot having increased and noticeably improved resolution than is presently available.
