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. | We can expect marine seismic data acquisition technology to continue to advance.
