  • Wide azimuth seismic data acquisition method and system with at least three streamer sets
    Patent number: 9482773
    Abstract: Wide azimuth data acquisition systems using at least three streamer sets achieve shorter survey time and enhanced angular coverage relative to conventional systems using two streamer sets. Various techniques such as high-density seismic source activation and alternating surveyed bands with skipped bands lead to data quality similar to the conventional system, while maintaining the increased productivity advantage.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 23, 2013
    Date of Patent: November 1, 2016
    Assignee: CGG SERVICES SA
    Inventors: Bill Howieson, Andrew Feltham
