Land seismic acquisition is still a very imperfect operation with results difficult to predict. We invite data examples and analysis that demonstrate challenges and uncertainties with land acquisition, and perhaps methods to address them. 10-30 minute presentations can be live or pre-recorded in any language and submitted in these formats: PPTX voice recording, *.mpeg format, or Youtube link. Presentations in non-English will use AI voice recognition to generate subtitles, which will be translated to English.

Examples of opportunities, challenges and unknowns for land seismic acquisition are:
1) Recording data with better or worse quality than expected
2) Customizing the acquisition to the unique characteristics of the area
3) Effect of surface geology on the data
4) Using passive energy to aid the noise removal and parametrization of reflection seismic processing
5) Instrument noise, imperfect sources, new hardware
6) What does it take to get similar quality data from nodes as we did from arrays for different noise types? (How many more nodes than arrays?) How can we best use digital arrays?
7) When does dense acquisition solve your data quality problem and when does it not?
8) Severe field access restrictions
9) Special considerations for CCUS monitoring
10) Justifying budget and ensuring results to upper management or client
11) Quantifying naturally occurring noise (power, temporal and azimuthal variations)
12) Anything else unusual or insightful
