Key aspects of multi‐azimuth acquisition and processing

Abstract

In this paper we refer specifically to towed streamer seismic where a given survey area would be acquired several times with different acquisition azimuths. While this technique has not been in general use, an increase in the past few years has led to some impressive comparisons (see Kravik et al). As a result of increased use, several key aspects have been adopted for success and are discussed here. In addition, data examples are included to demonstrate potential benefits of this technique.
