ABSTRACT:
A sound source arrangement for use in carrying out a seismic survey comprises flexible structural modules connected together end-to-end to form an elongated flexible structure of substantially uniform exterior cross-sectional shape and size. The elongated flexible structure can be stored on a reeling unit and may be unwound from the reeling unit at a survey location and wound back onto the reeling unit without disconnecting the modules from one another. At least one of the flexible modules is an air gun module which includes a device for producing sound impulses.
