Zusammenfassung: | Disclosed herein is a single point seismic system comprising an array of air guns disposed within a frame. The array includes a cluster of air guns on one of its ends and a reduction in chamber size of the air guns along the length of the array. On the end of the array opposite the cluster the array can comprise a series of air guns whose chamber size is an order of magnitude less than the chamber size of the guns comprising the cluster. The middle of the array can comprise a series of air guns whose respective chamber volumes differ by an order of magnitude. The frame of the present invention is generally wholly submerged during operation and does not interfere with the seismic signal produced by the firing of the air guns. |
