The presence of earth's near surface anomalies such as shallow gas clouds in Malay Basin had long influenced the quality and reliability of seismic data in oil and gas exploration industry. Various studies have been conducted to improve the seismic data quality, which can be solved by evaluating two aspects: seismic data acquisition and / or seismic imaging. In recent years, a number of innovative acquisition layouts and methods have been introduced that produced better subsurface images compare to previous dataset. However, the seismic technology in the industry has been largely on an ad-hoc basis without any qualitative analysis of the subsurface geology and complexity and its influence on data quality. The concept of first illuminating the target and then finding ways and means of exploring is still a concept that currently on the drawing board.
