We acquired and processed the first 3D pilot project onshore Abu Dhabi using independent simultaneous sourcing and dispersed source array, abbreviated as ISS and DSA respectively, to validate these concepts in a 3D context. In this paper, we review the blended-acquisition productivity, then introduce the deblended-data-reconstruction-processing performance and the resulting data quality. This evinces that the acquisition productivity is considerably enhanced by ISS and DSA. Furthermore, the deblended data can be reconstructed from the blended data indeed for ISS. The same holds true for DSA with a high repeatability over the full frequency band.
