Abstract

A method for deriving seismic information from over a relatively large expanse of land to determine relevant strike, dip, velocity and related information. The method consists of the utilization of a plurality of strike, dip, velocity (SDV) cross patterned source-receiver arrays disposed at spaced known locations over a selected terrain, thereafter to derive localized and offset seismic data relative to selected pairs or groups of the SDV cross patterns with further signal processing to smooth and integrate strike, dip and velocity information over a specific substratum. The method utilizes information as derived from each SDV cross pattern, as well as offset seismic signal information derived from source/receiver combinations spanning two selected SDV cross patterns.
