Abstract:Based on an example of RVSP 3D seismic exploration in a thick carbonate rock covered area in South China, key processing technologies and geological effects, such as RVSP 3D seismic exploration observation system, determination of data acquisition parameters, surface equivalent processing and wave field separation have been explained and analyzed in this paper. It shows that RVSP can overcome the influence of complex geological conditions and environmental conditions on data and improve seismic data. At the same time, the difficulties of RVSP 3D seismic acquisition and processing are put forward
