Abstract
Methods and systems are disclosed. The method includes determining a seismic acquisition grid for a seismic survey, composed of a first receiver grid, a second receiver grid, and a source grid, deploying a first plurality of seismic receivers according to the locations of the first receiver grid, and a second plurality of seismic receivers according to locations of the second receiver grid, and activating a seismic source at location based on the source grid. The method further includes recording a first seismic dataset using the first plurality of receivers and a second seismic dataset using the second plurality of receivers, and generating a velocity model using a velocity analysis method based on the first seismic dataset. The method still further includes forming a seismic image based on the velocity model and the second seismic dataset; and determining a location of a hydrocarbon reservoir based on the seismic image.
