Abstract:
Aside from historical issues of mechanical durability and efficiency, the design of marine vibrators (MVs) for towed streamer operations are confronted by several practical challenges to their different possible applications: 1. Alternatives to conventional air gun arrays for flexible and creative acquisition geometries, 2. Low power alternatives to air gun arrays for environmentally sensitive applications, and 3. High power ultra-low frequency sources specific to Full Waveform Inversion (FWI) optimization.
