Changes

We can expect marine seismic data acquisition technology to continue to advance. The objectives remain the same—get deeper penetration and higher resolution in a cost effective manner. The performance objectives—deeper penetration and higher resolution—will be achieved by increasing the signal to noise ratio. This is accomplished by increasing the signal and/or decreasing the noise.

Seismic data processing is important (see “[[Basic seismic processing]]”), and much of the increased signal to noise will be done on the computer, but only so much. When better data are acquired in the field, the final result will be better illumination of the exploration objectives.
