ABSTRACT:
A method of acquiring seismic data is disclosed which includes a horizontal towed receiver array in conjunction with at least one vertically oriented receiver array formed from a plurality of receiver elements spaced apart vertically within a plurality of cable. By simultaneously recording the data from both arrays, seismic data can be acquired for locations directly beneath a fixed obstruction, which a towing vessel has had to steer around.
