Abstract
A seismic acquisition system includes one or more perforating shaped charge modules activable to generate seismic signals into an earth sub-surface. The seismic signals are created by perforating jets formed by the perforating shaped charge modules when activated. The perforating jets produce directional seismic signals that reduce the amount of lateral noise. One or more detectors are employed to receive signals reflected from the earth sub-surface in response to the seismic signals.
