Abstract

Conventional offshore 3D acquisition is still being performed mainly with narrow azimuth streamer configurations, even in structurally complex areas. Attempt at breaking this paradigm have been recently made by the industry through the successful acquisition of some unconventional “Multi-Azimuth” (MAZ), “Wide-Azimith” (WAZ) and “Rich Azimuth” (RAZ) marine surveys.
