Abstract

There is a method for acquiring seismic data over a survey area. The method includes deploying streamer and source vessels to acquire seismic data along a survey line; performing one pass with the streamer and source vessels along the survey line for collecting wide azimuth (WAZ) data; and performing another pass with the streamer and source vessels along the survey line for collecting narrow azimuth (NAZ) data.
