The SOS Source – A Method and Arrangement for a 4D Seismic Source

B008 The SOS Source: A Method and Arrangement for a 4D Seismic Source Summary 1 A novel marine seismic source has been developed. This has the ability to remain laterally closer to the pre-plotted line than currently existing sources. It is therefore ideal for 4D surveys. Application of the method and arrangement for a 4D source was first simulated on a full reservoir monitoring seismic survey. Field tests were performed during the 2004 Norne 4D survey in the Norwegian Sea. Results have been analyzed. It appears that the new source is a viable and practical solution. There is a Statoil
