High resolution seismic characterization of the shallow subsurface of the Loranca Basin (Spain): high resolution 3D

The data acquisition contract was awarded to ENRESA and took place in January 2014. Seismic data was successfully collected in the Záncara river basin (Cuenca, Spain). This is a high-resolution seismic tomography survey to obtain a full 3-D P-wave seismic velocity image of the studied area. A regular and dense grid of 676 shots and 1200 receivers was used to image a 500 m x 500 m area of the shallow surface. A 240-channel system and a seismic source, consisting of an accelerated weight drop, were used in the acquisition. Half a million travel-time picks were inverted to provide the 3-D seismic velocity distribution up to 120 m depth. The 3-D survey was acquired in five swaths, each one consisting on five receiver lines, resulting in a total of 3380 shot gathers. Technical specifications of the profiles: Receiver number: 240, Receiver interval: 2 m, Source accelerated weightdrop: 250 kg, Source interval: 6 m, Sample rate: 1 ms, Record time: 4 s.
