%X Seismic field operations are always difficult to conduct but problems multiply greatly when operating in heavy jungle swamp environments. Esso Papua New Guinea recently concluded an onshore seismic program in the Fly River delta of Papua New Guinea. This paper discusses methods employed to operate in this extremely hostile environment to obtain reasonable quality seismic data at an acceptable price. A novel shooting technique which had a profound affect on quality of data, speed of recording and overall cost, is discussed.
