t seems impossible to attend a tradeshow or technical seminar today without
encountering the topic of broadband seismic. Within that technical domain, the
role of seismic acquisition is a critical one. The goal is to optimise the limits,
achieve the best value with the highest technology, at the lowest cost.
Technology is always the anchor point, and development efforts are well
underway for seismic acquisition equipment that generates and records broader
bandwidth signals efficiently and with the highest levels of productivity. The
ever‑present development challenge for the seismic equipment engineers focuses
on technology, cost and value.
