Deepwater Seismic Data Collection and Processing - A Study from the 2006 Turkish Black Sea Kozlu 3D Program

Modern deepwater marine 3D surveys require advanced infield systems in both data collection and data processing, if imaging and turnaround targets are to be met. In this paper we present the case history of a marine 3D reconnaissance survey, which presented challenges for both data collection and data processing. The challenges stemmed from the deep and complex waterbottom which caused issues with streamer geometry and also major multiple contamination within the seismic data.
