Zusammenfassung: | A method and apparatus for marine surveying. A system includes: a standard volume source element; a large-volume source element comprising an airgun having a volume greater than 1200 cubic inches; and a long-offset survey streamer. A method includes: towing a standard-volume source element; and towing a large-volume source element; activating the large-volume source element at large shotpoint intervals; and activating the standard-volume source element at standard shotpoint intervals, wherein the large shotpoint intervals are at least twice as long as the standard shotpoint intervals. A method includes: obtaining geophysical data for a subterranean formation; and processing the geophysical data to produce an image of the subterranean formation. A method includes: obtaining a firing plan for a plurality of seismic sources, wherein: a first seismic source of the plurality comprises a large-volume source element, and a second seismic source of the plurality consists of standard-volume source elements.
