ABSTRACT:
The specification discloses a system and related method for installing seismic sensors in shallow, low-angle boreholes for obtaining conventional three-dimensional and four-dimensional seismic surveys. Installing seismic sensors in shallow, low-angle boreholes removes the sensing devices from surface anomalies that may affect seismic sensing performance. Moreover, installation of the seismic devices in this manner may be done in environmentally sensitive areas without undue environmental impact.
