ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method are provided for ensuring good coupling and vertically planting of seismic receivers while substantially reducing the need for interconnecting wires and costly surveys. The apparatus includes an acquisition unit (AU) 20 for measuring seismic energy and a planting member 12 for engaging and planting the AU 20. An electronic surveying instrument 14 is coupled to the planting member 12 for determining the location of the AU 20. An installer 16 plants the AU 20 in the terrain 22 in near vertical alignment using the planting member 12. Once the AU 20 is planted in near vertical alignment, coordinates are downloaded from the electronic survey unit to locate the planted AU 20.
