We present a new staggered acquisition geometry aimed at providing improvements to complex imaging of the subsurface, such as subsalt in the Gulf of Mexico. The proposed design is a linear acquisition geometry that improves offset and azimuth distribution compared to preexisting wide azimuth acquisition techniques and generates extra-long offset of up to 18 km. It also includes a broadband solution, by towing streamers with variable depth shape, to provide significant imaging resolution uplift.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
