ABSTRACT:
A method and system for simulating and optimizing land seismic survey operations. The method and system utilizes spatially referenced data and nonspatial data relevant to land seismic survey operations such as high resolution satellite and airborne imagery and uses discrete event information about land seismic survey operation to simulate a land seismic survey. The output of the simulation is a detailed list of survey events. Mathematical optimization techniques are used to enhance the efficiency of the survey execution via optimal route planning and optimal allocation of survey logistical components. The invention uses a discrete event simulator which is an object-oriented software program with survey geometry objects that represent the survey design, resources objects that represent resources needed to conduct survey operations and manager objects to coordinate the resource objects within the specified survey geometry.
