ABSTRACT:
Selected sections of a seismic streamer cable are provided with an acoustically-triggered compressed gas supply. The acoustic triggering devices associated with each compressed gas supply may be individually addressed by a coded signal. In the event that the streamer cable is severed, the gas supplies of the severed sections of the streamer are used to inflate the jackets of those severed sections so that they will float to the water surface for salvage.
