Abstract

See full text

A method for simultaneous collection of seismic data of shallow and deep targets, in which two seismic streamers are towed at different water depths (1 and 2 in FIG. 2), and only one acoustic source of seismic signals is used. The seismic data recorded by the different streamers are mixed in a subsequent processing step, seismic data being weighted before being mixed by a weight which is made dependent on the recorded two-way travel time for the respective streamers, so that data from one or several streamers located at the least water depth receive a weight which decreases with travel time, whereas data from a corresponding number of streamers of greater depths receive a weight which increases with travel time.
