Abstract
A method and apparatus for acquiring high resolution 3D marine seismic data using at least two seismic streamers which are generally parallel to one another longitudinally, and offset from one another in both the vertical and horizontal plane. In one embodiment, the acquisition method uses a vertically staggered source array which is operated using end-fire principles as described below. A processing method is applied for reducing the effect of receiver signal ghosts on the processed signal, thereby allowing the seismic array to be towed deeper without reducing the effective bandwidth of the processed seismic signals. In another embodiment, a vertically staggered source array is utilized. Such that the array provides for the removal of source signal ghosts from the processed seismic and thereby complement the quasi-over under receiver array to synergistically provide for removal of all signal ghosts.
