Simultaneous source acquisition is reducing industry cost while improving quality. SimSource was pioneered in the 1990's and while take-up was initially slow, in recent years we have seen an increasing number of operators adopting the technology as best practice, to increase productivity for efficiency and create superior data quality. The take-up of SimSource technology has been slowed to some extent by the range and variety of methodologies available, with each operator, contractor or in many cases individual geophysicists having their preferred method. The goal of this workshop is to support and align industry geophysicists' understanding on current and future methodologies, such that they may select the most suitable method for their own future challenges.

The workshop aims to highlight the most successful applications of simultaneous sources and any learnings in hydrocarbon exploration and recovery.

Technical themes to be covered:
Introduction – Balancing Quality & Efficiency
Survey Design for SimSource
Acquisition Implementation
Processing
Interpretability of SimSource Data
Case Studies
Research & Future Directions
Defining Ideal Workflows
