Abstract: The single sensor high-density seismic technology has been put into wide application thanks to continual improvement of oil and gas exploration and development accuracy. The era for large seismic exploration data of oil and gas industry is coming unexpectedly, thus leading to a series of challenges for field seismic data acquisition, quality control, data processing and information study. The past seismic acquisition management pattern and data processing and interpretation environment are obviously out of date. Focusing on the issues facing oil and natural gas seismic exploration data, this paper proposes a series of technological strategies, such as use of light seismic instruments, quantification of quality control, high-efficiency acquisition of controllable source and further study of data, in cope with the challenges facing large seismic exploration data.
