Abstract
A seismic layout technique and a processing technique for providing better data acquisition relative to salt domes which utilizes a line of sources in a selected pattern opposite a salt flank from a well bore, and a plurality of spaced receivers are disposed along the well bore for coaction with energy from said plural source location to record an array of multi-fold data. The data is then processed to establish a pseudo-source point along the well bore in relation to each of the receiver points to enable subsequent CDP processing of the data thereby to establish a vertical common reflection point outline of the vertical flank of the salt dome.
