Abstract

A method of underwater seismic testing is disclosed which does not require the use of long hydrophone streamers and which dispenses with the conventional CDP stack technique. The method enables signal processing to commence as soon as the first shot has been fired. The method involves traversing the region of interest with a survey vessel while firing a single seismic source repeatedly and observing the sub-sea response to the repeated shots using a single seismic receiver to provide thereby single-trace data which is then processed to generate the required sub-sea geological data. The signal processing may be effected in two stages, the first being deconvolution and the second being '3-D' imaging, preferably using the Kirchoff integral formulation.
