It is a two-day course in 2D acquisition tools and methods designed for the experienced geophysicist. It reviews technical and operational considerations to optimize programs for your exploration targets. Each program parameter is discussed and its impact on the success of the program is examined. An appreciation of the impact of field techniques on the quality of the final interpreted product will be emphasized.

In more depth, some of the subjects discussed are: the energy source, receivers, CDP Method and stacking charts, instrumentation, spatial sampling and aliasing, evaluation of noise and array designs, and what to do during the field visit. This course also offers a half-day workshop in 2D parameter determination. It is assumed that participants have a thorough understanding of and experience using the seismic method.
