METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR CONDUCTING RECONNAISSANCE MARINE SEISMIC SURVEYS

摘要

Methods, systems, and apparatuses are disclosed for conducting reconnaissance marine seismic surveys. In one example method of acquiring a marine seismic survey, a plurality of streamers (110) are towed behind an acquisition vessel (105), the plurality of streamers defining a swath (120). An independent source (130) is towed by an independent source vessel (125) above one or more of the plurality of towed streamers (110).
