Summary
A dual vessel 3D towed streamer survey was acquired for a JV operated by Shell Greenland in Baffin Bay, West of Greenland. The survey area was infested by ice and water depths ranged between 280 and 820 meters. A number of seismic data acquisition techniques, including the use of two streamer vessels, were combined during this survey in order to ensure that full fold coverage was achieved in a short acquisition window over the primary pre-plot area with minimum impact of seismic interference between the vessels on overall data quality.
These techniques proved very effective and may be applied in other geographical locations with short time windows available for seismic data acquisition, especially where free movements of streamer vessels are limited due to floating ice.
