    Design of 3D Land Surveys using OMNI 3D -5 Day

    This five-day hands-on training class provides students with the foundations needed to use OMNI 3D in a full range of quality control and design tasks for land seismic acquisition planning from field QC to advanced design analyses. This course teaches how to create surveys for the different acquisition configurations, perform fold analyses, insert infill lines, and use ray tracing and OMNI target analysis to select optimal acquisition parameters.

    • Add Lines wizard – staggered, zigzag, zig only
    • Other station addition tools
    • Other design tools – pattern surveys
    • 3D Design examples and exercises


    Day 2: Land survey design continued

    • 2D Design Wizard
    • 2D Line digitizer
    • Obstacles and detours
    • Affect surveys using images, shapefiles, DXF
    • Optimization using boundaries
    • Using different boundaries for different areas or different boundaries for sources and receivers
    • Editing station locations – editing toolbar
    • VSP design wizards and tools
    • 2D design examples and exercises


    Day 3: Land survey design continued 

    • Import/Export Field Data
    • SPS, custom definitions, reproject surveys
    • Create surveys using surface boundaries

    This class is suitable for geoscientists wanting to learn how to design seismic surveys, analyze and QC designs using OMNI 3D software.


    o   Main concepts of 3D land seismic survey design

    o   Different land acquisition configurations commonly used and design tools used in OMNI 3D to create them

    o   Station editing tools and QC

    o   Overview of all model building and model analysis

    o   2D and 3D earth models to perform ray tracing analysis, illumination and create synthetic seismic data in OMNI 3D

    o   Use of the OMNI 3D Workshop tools to analyze and select the essential land acquisition parameters: bin size, maximum and minimum offset, migration aperture, shot interval, and fold.


    A basic understanding of seismic acquisition concepts. No prior experience with OMNI 3D is required.
