Blended Source Single Sided Full Azimuth Ocean Bottom Seismic Acquisition

By combining blended source acquisition with nodal seismic technology in an acquisition geometry designed to minimize duplicate shots, a large scale ~ 2000 sq km ocean high density bottom seismic survey (OBS) is being acquired in less than 12 months in the Gulf of Mexico. This unprecedented operational performance is enabled through the unparalleled technical reliability of the autonomous nodes along with the application of blended source acquisition and a single sided survey geometry to reduce survey duration while maintaining the benefits of wide azimuth and long offset acquisition.
