drivable seismic energy source system and method for operating a seismic energy source in a body of water

摘要

directional and depth steerable seismic source arrangement. The present invention relates to a steerable seismic energy source comprising at least one float. The flotation device includes a device for changing its buoyancy. a frame is coupled to at least one float. At least one source of seismic energy is suspended from the frame. at least one steerable device is coupled to the flotation device or frame. at least one steerable device includes at least one control surface and one control surface actuator coupled to the control surface. The actuator is configured to rotate the control surface to generate hydrodynamic lift in at least one vertical direction.
