Abstract
Until quite recently, multicomponent recording has been a minor part of the seismic market, and systems have required expensive and time consuming adaptation to facilitate 4-C recording (three component velocity plus a pressure transducer). The cost and inconvenience of these adaptations has lead to a cost premium in 4-C. As the value of 4-C is becoming apparent, from numerous experimental surveys, it is now time to rethink some of the basic system design concepts to address the practicalities of efficient 4-C recording.
