On Top of Seismic Sampling - Benefits of High Resolution Source-OverSstreamer Acquisition

Recent years have seen growing interest in improved shallow resolution images of the subsurface. This has led to ever more innovative acquisition approaches, each tailored to individual geological settings. We focus on a towed streamer acquisition in the Barents Sea which deployed five sources above the streamers for high definition imaging, along with a single source towed behind the streamer vessel to acquire long offset data for full waveform inversion. Firstly we demonstrate how accurate deblending is a key processing step to uncover the potential of these data.
