P-165 Cable Free Seismic Acquisition in the South of México

Summary In recent years there has been much discussion about the relative merits of cabled versus cable free seismic data acquisition systems on land. Most of these discussions have been focused on the weights of the systems, battery management and whether real-time quality control is necessary when using recording systems with large channel counts. This paper will provide a case history of a 3D survey acquired in a very difficult operational area in Southern México using a cable free system that provided retrieval of all the seismic data within 48 hours to ensure data quality
