Abstract
The invention relates to recording seismic data with autonomous seismic data recorders in a pattern where the recorders are deployed in a compact geographical array having a low aspect ratio keeping the recorders closer to the seismic source trucks and requiring fewer total recorders. The recorders are deployed to cover an active listening patch and the seismic source trucks progress from shot point to shot point within a defined source path that provides for a pattern of recorder movements from behind the active listening patch to a location in front of the active patch.
