Abstract:
The deployment method for deploying seismic data acquisition units into shallow water from the deck of a vessel provides for deploying a cable into the water. Seismic data acquisition units are moved from a storage location on the vessel to a position adjacent the cable. In one embodiment, a unit is accelerated to the approximate speed of the cable, at which point the unit is attached to the cable and released into the water. In another embodiment, cable deployment is interrupted while a unit is attached, after which, cable deployment is resumed.
