Abstract: Four vibroseis acquisition techniques with high effi ciency including the fl ip-fl op sweeping technique, the slip sweeping technique, the distance separated simultaneous sweeping technique, and the independent simultaneous sweeping technique, and their application both at home and abroad were discussed. The current state of China’s conventional onshore vibroseis acquisition was analyzed thoroughly. For current problems and difficulties in domestic onshore seismic acquisition, flip-flop technique, slip technique and other high-efficiency acquisition techniques were analyzed in terms of acquisition effi ciency, acquisition cost, and seismic effect, etc. How to apply high-effi ciency acquisition techniques in onshore regions of different surface and subsurface geologic conditions in China in the future was prospected
