6.1.1 Overview

6.1 Rolling the Line
This chapt er describes how t o m ove t he ground equipm ent across t he survey
area when rolling t he line.
lim
Rolling a line segm ent in your seism ic dat a acquisit ion proj ect m eans t hat you
can set up part of t he equipm ent and t hen st art firing shot s and gat hering
dat a. Once shoot ing is com plet e for a specified line segm ent , you can pick up
t he equipm ent and m ove it t o a new locat ion while shoot ing cont inues on a
different line segm ent .
You should follow best pract ices as recom m ended by your com pany or t he
indust ry; however, t he following should be considered when planning your roll
procedures:
Pickup and layout crews pick up lines behind product ion and lay t hem out
ahead of product ion. Depending on bat t ery charge st at e, equipm ent m ay
circulat e t hrough st aging or go direct ly from one line t o t he next .

I n order t o m ake m ost efficient use of layout crews, it is com m on t o lay out
ent ire receiver lines at a t im e even if t hey are longer t han t he t em plat e.
This way crews don’t need t o spend t im e walking or driving from one line
t o t he next picking up or laying out sm all am ount s of equipm ent . However,
if t he size of t he survey is large and receivers per line m ult iplied by t he
num ber of lines is larger t han t he num ber of channels available, it m ay be
necessary t o roll in t he inline direct ion. I n t his case, it is necessary t o be
able t o pick up and lay out WRUs in quant it ies sm aller t han a rib; for
exam ple increm ent s of six WRUs.

During inline roll operat ions, it m ay be desirable t o add newly deployed
WRUs t o an exist ing ( discovered) rib. The Observer can inst ruct t he last
WRU in a rib t o poll for neighbors during recording. Newly added WRUs can
begin recording im m ediat ely.
