Popis: Improving the efficiency of ocean bottom sensor (OBS) surveys has been a long time goal of both oil companies and acquisition contractors. Full azimuth and offset OBS surveys have historically been time consuming to acquire due to limitations in the amount of equipment and the efficiency of the crews. A large increase in efficiency can be realized through the use of multiple independent source vessels working simultaneously. The field of Compressive Sensing (CS) provides the necessary framework to allow the vessels to work simultaneously and be able to produce comparable data sets to a traditionally acquired OBS survey. We describe the operational issues of acquiring a survey with multiple source vessels including the CS techniques used.
