Abstract: Methods and apparatus for acquiring seismic data using a seabed seismic data cable positioned on a seabed are described, one method including deploying a seabed seismic cable, the cable comprising two or more active sections separated by at least one jumper section; and acquiring seabed seismic data using the seabed seismic cable. Certain methods include analyzing spacing needed between active sensor units in the active sections prior to deploying the seabed seismic cable, and selecting a length of the jumper section based on the analysis. It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract, which will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure. It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims. 37 CFR 1.72(b).

Abstract: A method and system for deploying seismic tows, such as seismic streamers, from a common carrier rope for conducting marine seismic surveys. The deployment system generally comprises a carrier rope having at least one deflector urging the carrier rope laterally relative to the towing vessel and seismic tows that are independently moveable along the deployed carrier rope to desired locations from which to be deployed. The carrier rope may be deployed from the tow vessel into the water prior to deploying the seismic streamer(s) into the water.
