ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a method of determining the optimal spacing of seismic receiver lines, including marine streamers. A weighted squared error function is defined between a desired array response function and an actual response function, and the error function is minimized to determine the values of crossline offsets between streamers as well as the depths of the streamers in a configuration to minimize out-of-plane signal effects, for example.
