Passive Seismic Tomography Installation/Training
1. Introduction
GEObit-Instruments supplied PSG Indonesia with 75 C100/Sri32L sensor/recorder units [1]. The equipment is mostly used by PSG for Passive Seismic Tomography acquisition. GEObit personnel offered to PGE field operators full training on the instruments operation and on-site seismic station installation. They installed several seismic stations for PST acquisition. This training took place in Timika, Papua, Indonesia.

3. Equipment installation theory
Lesson number two was about installation theory, making people familiar with the process. Pictures and videos from past field PST installation were presented to the field operators, along with a detailed explanation of the process. Questions were answered, and people got all the necessary knowledge of the required field operations for installing a high-quality acquisition micro-seismic network, even in the jungle environment of Papua Indonesia.
