Exploring 3D Seismic Acquisition, Imaging, and Data Quality: A Systematic and Bibliometric Review
摘要
Improving seismic data quality has remained a central concern in geophysical research because it determines the reliability of subsurface interpretation and reservoir assessment. This study reviews global trends in 3D seismic acquisition and imaging, focusing on enhancing data quality, survey design, and imaging reliability. Systematic bibliometric analysis identified key research areas from 1993 to 2025, using front add the Scopus database records. The bibliometric analysis was carried out using the Bibliometrix package and its web interface Biblioshiny in R for co-occurrence analysis and science mapping. The study identifies four core themes which are geometry optimization, data quality, imaging resolution, and environmental responsibility, it also reveals strong regional biases and limited evidence from real field applications.
Leading contributors advanced survey design and quality metrics, though challenges like limited field validation persist. Research has significantly advanced, yet methodological gaps remain. These findings show that future research must adopt broader geographical perspectives and increase field-based validation to produce practical and reliable improvements in 3D seismic acquisition and imaging. Integrating cost-effectiveness and environmental sustainability in design aligns technological progress with global objectives.
