    Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement for seismic acquisition the spacing between each adjacent pairs of receiver and sources lines is not all the same. Some receiver and/or source lines and/or receiver and/or source spacings are larger and some are smaller to provide a higher quality wavefield reconstruction when covering a larger total area or for a similar total area of seismic data acquisition while providing a wavefield that is optimally sampled by the receivers and sources so that the wavefield reconstruction is suitable for subsurface imaging needs.

    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for allocating production among reservoir compartments by way of compositional and isotopic analyses. That is, where individual reservoir compartments contribute differing amounts of fluid to a commingled production stream, the methods herein determine the relative contribution of fluid volume from each reservoir compartment.Both a composition-based relative contribution and an isotope-based relative contribution of fluid from each reservoir compartment may be determined to allocate production to each reservoir compartment, the determinations respectively being based on composition mass balances and stable carbon isotope mass balances of components. The combination of both allocation analyses provides quality checks on the results that identify improper allocations that may arise. In addition to production allocation, other applications include, among others, determining the effectiveness of intervention operations and providing feedback for adjusting operations. Advantages include lower costs, higher accuracies, and ease of use as compared to conventional methods.

    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for inducing seismic vibrations into an elastic medium such as subterranean formations. The methods and systems utilize seismic transducers having a sensor matrix for measurement of baseplate force distributions. Certain embodiments include a sensor matrix that is configured to measure a distribution of discrete force measurements across the surface area of the baseplate. Advantages of including such sensor matrices include a more accurate prediction of seismic transducer energy output. That is, these measurements can be used as feedback to adjust the operation of the seismic transducer. Additionally, these force measurements may be used to provide for a better interpretation of gathered seismic data. These advantages ultimately translate to improved seismic surveys, having higher resolution of the formations surveyed and reaching greater depths.
