Abstract
With the increased employment of autonomous planted nodes for seabed seismic acquisition, the 4D capabilities have been demonstrated. Planted nodes are characterized by very high data quality and their flexibility for use in obstructed areas with complex infrastructure, also in ultra deep waters (<3000m). Taking into account that there are no added investments for manufacturing and installation, it is shown by an example that nodes are favorable to permanent systems and, as such, a real alternative for reservoir monitoring.
