Abstract
The invention concerns a method for evaluating a geophysical survey acquisition geometry over a region of interest. The method comprises determining a location of a plurality of base camps in respect of a determined minimal surface density of base camps, determining a first set of locations of a plurality of receivers in respect of a determined minimal surface density of receivers, generating a first synthetic geophysical dataset based on the first geophysical survey acquisition geometry, processing the first synthetic geophysical dataset for obtaining a first simulated image of the subsurface of the region of interest using a geophysical processing algorithm and an a priori subsurface model, and calculating a first objective function dependent of at least a first quality index of the first simulated image of the subsurface of the region of interest.
