The First Experience of Seismic Study of Shallow Water Zone on the Pechora Shelf

We present the method for the decision of a problem of a choice of the optimum method of seismic in a shallow (transit) zone of the Pechora Sea being part of the Arctic shelf of Russia. Ours more than 30-year's experience of seismic in the North of Timan-Pechora oil and gas province in conditions of a severe Arctic climate, allows proving the optimum method. The basic achievement is conducting seismic acquisitions on land and in shallow water, in winter and summer time, with the account all of growing attention to ecological aspects of field seismic. The tendered method of application provides reliable coordination of the marine and land data, which favorably distinguishes it from earlier used.
