ABSTRACT:
A seismic streamer includes a jacket covering an exterior of the streamer. At least one strength member extends along the length of and disposed inside the jacket. At least one seismic sensor is mounted in a housing affixed to the at least one strength member. A void filling material fills the interstices inside the jacket. The housing is configured to isolate the at least one sensor from pressure variations in the void filling material, and the housing is configured to couple the at least one sensor to a body of water outside the streamer.
