oa Improving Subsalt Imaging with a New Seismic Acquisition System

Traditional marine seismic acquisition methods (streamer, OBC) struggle to address the combination of high data quality and large survey areas needed to image sub-salt reservoirs and prospects. This article will describe a completely new seismic acquisition system that delivers higher quality data within an acceptable time frame, and the key advantages it delivers for sub-salt and other challenging geological settings. Test results will illustrate some benefits of the system.
