ABSTRACT:
A method for acquiring seismic data, the method comprising: deploying a first ocean-bottom cable from a first cable-handling/recording vessel; generating first source waves with a source vessel for data acquisition; recording data from the first ocean-bottom cable with the first cable-handling/recording vessel during the generating first source waves; preparing a second ocean-bottom cable with a second cable-handling/recording vessel during the generating first source waves; generating second source waves with the source vessel for data acquisition; and recording data from the second ocean-bottom cable with the second cable-handling/recording vessel during the generating second source waves. A method for acquiring seismic data, the method comprising: deploying a first ocean-bottom cable from a first cable-handling/recording vessel; deploying a second ocean-bottom cable from the first cable-handling/recording vessel; generating first source waves with a source vessel for data acquisition; recording data from the first and second ocean-bottom cables with the first cable-handling/recording vessel during the generating first source waves; preparing a third ocean-bottom cable with a second cable-handling/recording vessel during the generating first source waves; generating second source waves with the source vessel for data acquisition; and recording data from the second and third ocean-bottom cables with the second cable-handling/recording vessel during the generating second source waves. A method for acquiring seismic data, the method comprising: generating first seismic waves from a first seismic source associated with a source vessel; generating second seismic waves nonconcurrent with the generating first seismic waves from a second seismic source associated with the source vessel; receiving reflected seismic waves with an ocean-bottom receiver; and recording the reflected seismic waves.
