METHOD OF SEISMIC SCIENCE WITH TRANSVERSE DILUTION OF SEISMIC SOURCES

摘要

A method of towing a group of seismic receivers for collecting marine seismic data in a body of water includes towing a set of seismic streamers spatially spaced in the transverse direction behind a seismic vessel in water. The transverse distance between adjacent seismic streamers is represented by L. At least two seismic sources, spatially spaced in the transverse direction, are towed behind the seismic survey vessel. The transverse distance between at least two seismic sources is represented by kL, where k is a constant and does not exceed the number of seismic streamers.
