Encoded Source Sequences (“Popcorn Shooting”)
Robertsson et al. (2008) discussed the idea of firing a marine source array sequentially (rather than activating all sub
sources at the same time).
Sub-elements are fired individually over a range of time, yielding a sequence of smaller impulses.
“Popcorn Shooting” can reduce peak sound level output.

eSeismic is a novel acquisition and processing method
under development. The method utilizes continuous source
and receiver wavefields to produce broadband subsurface
images.

eSeismic – A new way of acquiring and processing marine seismic data
eSeismic is an acquisition and processing method that utilizes continuous source and receiver
wavefields.
The continuous sources wavefields can be generated with both future marine vibrator
technology as well as with existing air gun hardware.
When using air gun sources to generate continuously signals individual air guns are triggered
with very small randomized intervals instead of triggering an entire source array (see resulting
receiver trace on the right).

eSeismic field trial example (courtesy of PGS):The dataset was acquired by firing single air guns
generating a near continuous wavefield.

Summary
• We want to conduct our business responsibly with regards to impacts on the ecosystem and with respect to other users of the ocean (e.g., fishermen).
• We are actively developing (and applying) advanced seismic technology in order to improve efficiency and to reduce the environmental footprint.
• The seismic contractors are dependent on the support from their customers and governments in order to achieve these goals.
