SEISMIC SOURCE OPERATION AT LOW FREQUENCIES

Abstract:

An example system includes a first seismic source configured to emit seismic energy by generation of a first air bubble into the seismic medium at a first time, and a second seismic source spaced a predefined distance from the first seismic source. The second seismic source is configured to emit seismic energy by generation of a second air bubble into the seismic medium at a second time after the first time. The seismic energy has a low frequency characteristic.
