Popis: Ocean Bottom Seismic (OBS) surveys produce very high quality seismic data, however, historically this has been slow and costly to acquire which has limited its application. Over the last 10 years great strides have been made in reducing this cost and increasing data quality, resulting in the OBS market growing ten-fold into a billion dollar plus industry. Nevertheless, continued innovation is required if we are to realize the broad application of OBS and better wavefield sampling at an acceptable cost. This is especially true in deep water which has so far not shared in the improvements seen in shallow water brought by cabled nodes systems.
