P142 Wide Azimuth Towed Streamer and Processing; Should We Worry about Super Shot Gather Irregularities? E. Sadeghi* (Total) A. Melois (Total) & J.L. Boelle (Total) SUMMARY Nowadays wide azimuth seismic acquisition is one of the most fashionable subjects in the seismic industry. It is considered to be the effective solution to subsurface illumination challenges in complex zones. When it comes to deep water subsalt structures the Wide Azimuth Towed Streamer (WATS) technique attracts attentions. Compared to other methods like OBC or OBS WATS method has advantages on material availability operational facilities and reduced acquisition time and cost in large very
