Acquire seismic data
How acquire seismic data are reshaped as AGI capability advances.
The bottom line
Only about 15% of Acquire seismic data is information work today — the rest is physical, and moves slowly. The exposure is concentrated in the back office: the books, the paperwork, the scheduling, the marketing.
Why: The process 'Acquire seismic data' operates within the Oil and Gas Extraction and Support Activities for Mining industries, which carry a strong physical prior (digital < 0.3). Lacking seeded child occupations, the evaluation relies on the process name and industry context: acquiring seismic data requires deploying field crews, sensors, and heavy machinery in outdoor, often harsh environments. The work is fundamentally physical, yielding a low digital scalar.

Business-as-Code
Read as an executable program — the work decomposed into Code, Generative, Agentic, and Human.
Acquire seismic data sits inside a larger value-flow — 1 parent structure it composes into. The hierarchy is grounding, not the story: it tells you which aggregate exposure Acquire seismic data inherits.

How the work flows
Trigger: An approved seismic survey design and secured land or marine permits authorize the mobilization of field acquisition crews.
- Mobilize personnel and equipment to the survey area
- Deploy seismic receivers along predefined grid lines
- Generate acoustic source signals using mechanical or explosive methods
- Record subsurface reflected wave data onto field systems
- Conduct daily field quality control and preliminary data validation
- Transfer raw field data to processing facilities
- Demobilize crews and perform site restoration
Outcome: Raw seismic data is recorded, quality-checked in the field, and securely transferred to the processing facility.
