Development of a Multistreamer 3D High Resolution System

A high resolution system is proposed using the numerous acquisition tools available on the market. The focus of development was to use or adapting existing proven technologies rather than introduce unknowns through new tools or components. The system is developed within three aspects: towing, positioning and geophysical. These three areas of focus are the basis of the systematic development and testing of the system. Development spanned Q3 2010 through Q2 2011 and a production survey was acquired in June 2011. Results showed the method was effective and efficient.
