Seismic prospecting method and device using simultaneous emission of seismic signals obtained by coding a signal by pseudo-random sequences, and notably a periodic signal phase modulated by such sequences.Signals such as, for example, periodic signals phase modulated according to a pseudo-random code (binary for example), produced by a control unit, are for example emitted in the ground by means of vibrators, the seismic signals reflected by the subsoil discontinuities in response to the periodic signals emitted are picked up by receivers coupled with the formation and recorded in an acquisition and recording system. The periodic signals are emitted simultaneously by the vibrators. The control sequences of the coded periodic signals intended for all the vibrators are obtained either from the same random binary sequence with respective time lags evenly distributed over the length of the control sequence according to the number of vibrators used simultaneously (first mode), or from different sequences selected from among a group of sequences of minimum crosscorrelation (second mode), or by combining the two aforementioned modes. The respective contributions of the various vibrators are separated by correlating the signals received and recorded with signals constructed from the various control sequences obtained with time lags. The vibrators can be divided into several groups, the vibrators of each group being controlled by a binary sequence belonging to a minimum crosscorrelating group.Application: seismic prospecting or seismic monitoring of reservoirs for example.
