ABSTRACT:
A seismic exploration method in which a rotating eccentric weight seismic source is employed to transmit a coded energy signal into the earth. A position sensor mounted on the source directly detects the instants at which the rotating eccentric passes a particular angular position about its axis of rotation, and generates a code signal which is used to correlate the raw seismic data. Preferably the source is allowed to decouple from the earth surface such that the coded energy signal transmitted into the earth is a coded impulse train.
