ABSTRACT:
A method for deriving seismic information of more generalized nature over a relatively large and previously unexplored expanse of land to determine relevant strike, dip, velocity and related information. The method consists of the placing of a plurality of seismic sources and receivers in respective lines arranged in a cross pattern, each line being generally at right angles each to the other, and thereafter exciting the sources and recording the received energy for further processing to derive the strike, dip and velocity information for selected strata by using travel times of signal return.
