ATTENUATING OUT OF BAND ENERGY EMITTED FROM SEISMIC SOURCES

摘要

A method for attenuating out of band energy emitted from a seismic source used in a marine seismic survey. The method includes disposing the seismic source in a body of water and releasing a gas into a volume of water surrounding the seismic source. The released gas may be configured such that it displaces the volume of water surrounding the seismic source at a rate less than 2.9 x 106 cubic-meters per cubic-second.
