Three-dimensional (3D) seismic surveys utilise 2D grids of seismic sources and receivers deployed on the ground surface. The seismic response of the ground is recorded as a time series corresponding to each source-receiver pair, and the wave propagation time becomes the third dimension of the data set. ... If a 3D seismic survey is repeated at several time intervals, this historical time (as opposed to the wave propagation time) becomes a fourth dimension, hence the name 4D or time-lapse seismic. The 4D approach allows a detailed description of the evolution of the reservoir, but the overall cost of the survey escalates rapidly by repeating conventional 3D surveys. 4, record 1, English, - time%2Dlapse%20seismic

Afin d’obtenir une image plus précise et plus fiable du sous-sol, on emploie la technique de la sismique 3D [...] Elle permet même souvent de repérer directement les hydrocarbures dans les couches géologiques. Les récepteurs sont placés en nappes afin de construire une image du sous-sol en volume(en trois dimensions). La technique de la sismique 4D va plus loin encore, en faisant intervenir la quatrième dimension : le temps. Sur un gisement en production, on effectue plusieurs enregistrements successifs de sismique 3D, à intervalles de temps réguliers. La comparaison des enregistrements permet ensuite de suivre l'évolution du gisement pendant sa production. 4, record 1, French, - sismique%204D
