SEISMIC ACQUISITION SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SEABED MINERAL EXPLORATION

摘要

A seismic survey system for prospecting for sub-sea minerals comprising: a first vessel 21 towing a first seismic source 22 and a seismic detector 23; and a second vessel 24 towing a second seismic source 25. The seismic detector 23 is arranged to receive acoustic signals resulting from the reflection 28 and/or refraction 31 by the sea bed 27 of acoustic signals emitted from both the first and second seismic sources.
