SIGNAL IMPROVEMENT IN MARINE SEISMIC EXPLORATION

摘要

A method of providing a marine seismic signal comprising the steps of: arranging a plurality of seismic sources into a seismic array having at least two seismic subarrays with each subarray having a plurality of seismic sources, towing the seismic array behind a vessel and operating the plurality of seismic sources such that the seismic array satisfies a predetermined relation which is a function of the operating pressure, gun volume and towing depth of the respective seismic sources in the respective subarrays.
