Abstract
Methods, apparatuses, and systems are disclosed that assist in determining a location to acquire seismic data. In one embodiment, a method includes modeling acquisition of seismic data in a first location based on a first factor that impacts acquisition of seismic data in the first location. The method also includes generating a modeled attribute based on the modeling, and determining whether to acquire seismic data in the first location based on the modeled attribute or the first factor.
