Long-offset data offshore Gabon shows how synchronized source technology adds flexibility to tailored acquisition solutions.

Back to Technical Content
The current climate in the oil exploration industry has engendered a strong push towards efficiency in acquisition. One technique that offers this is synchronized simultaneous sources, or SyncSource, where sources are fired before completion of recording the data from the previous shot. This may result in significant overlap of seismic data between successive shotpoints, so that the data must be de-blended to recover the individual contribution from each source. However, this enables the acquisition of data with higher trace density, smaller bins or longer records than would otherwise be possible. We describe the use of blended acquisition to acquire ultra-long offset data offshore Gabon
