Abstract: To acquire near-zero offset survey data, a survey source and a first streamer attached to the survey source are provided, where the first streamer has at least one survey receiver. A second streamer separate from the survey source and the first streamer includes survey receivers. Near-zero offset data is measured using the at least one survey receiver of the first streamer.

Abstract: A method of processing geophysical signals obtained by—monitoring the response of the earth to an source using a plurality of receivers is described including the evaluation of sums or integrals of functions of weighted signal values over a one or multidimensional domain such that the domain is split into a plurality of simplices and the signal values are interpolated across the simplices using a non-linear approximation of the function, the approximation including signals and gradients of the signals, and the evaluated sums or integrals are used to obtain a representation of characteristics of the earth.

Abstract: A technique includes receiving seismic data, which are indicative of pressure measurements and pressure gradient measurements acquired in a seismic survey of at least one subterranean formation. The technique includes modeling an image of the subterranean formation(s) as a function of the pressure measurements and the pressure gradient measurements. The technique includes determining the image based on the modeling.

Abstract: To performing positioning of survey equipment, measurements of acoustic signals reflected from at least one boundary of a marine environment are received. The reflected acoustic signals are reflected from the at least one boundary in response to acoustic signaling originated by an acoustic source. A positioning model is updated based on the measurements of the acoustic signals, wherein the positioning model contains information relating to positions of components of a positioning system that includes the acoustic source and acoustic receiver.

Abstract: A technique includes providing seismic data acquired in a seismic survey of a medium. The seismic data includes particle motion data. The technique includes modeling waves propagating through the medium during the survey as a function of at least one property of the medium and the seismic data. The technique includes, based on the modeling, determining the property(ies) of the medium.

Abstract: A seismic data acquisition assembly includes a cable; seismic sensors that are disposed along the cable; and a filler material inside the cable. The filler includes a hydrocarbon-based liquid and an agent to cause the filler material to have a rheological property that is substantially different than a corresponding rheological property of the hydrocarbon-based liquid.

Abstract: A mehtod of determinig an integral of a function over an n-dimensional intergratio domain from the values of the function at a plurality of discrete data points within the integration domain, comprises partitioning the integration domain into a plurality of k-dimensional simplexes, where k<=n. The function is integrated over each simplex, and the results are summed. The method may be applied in the processing of geophysical data such as, for example, seismic data, where the function is a function of at least the geophysical data. The processed data may then be used to obtain information about the physical properties of the earth's interior.

Abstract: A method of determining an integral of a function over an n-dimensional integration domain from the values of the function at a plurality of discrete data points within the integration domain, comprises partitioning the integration domain into a plurality of k-dimensional simplexes, where k?n.
