Optimization of Marine Data Acquisition for the application of 3D SRME

This abstract describes the analysis of acquisition designs for a 3D marine survey with respect to the application<br>of 3D SRME. The key to the successful application of 3D SRME is to maximize the source- and receiver sampling<br>in the crossline direction (and thereby reducing the need for pre-stack interpolation of severely under-sampled<br>data), and to obtain sufficient crossline aperture in order to predict the characteristics of the multiples in the<br>crossline direction.
