    Abstract: A method and apparatus for a seismic cable is described. In one embodiment, a method for performing a seismic survey in a water column is described. The method comprises providing a length of flexible cable from a cable storage device disposed on a vessel to a cable handling device adjacent the cable storage device. The flexible cable comprises a specific gravity that is greater than a specific gravity of water in the water column. The method further comprises routing the flexible cable to pass adjacent a workstation disposed on the vessel, deploying a free end of the flexible cable into the water column, attaching at least one of a plurality of seismic sensor units to the cable as the cable passes the workstation, and controlling the motion of the vessel and the rotational speed of the cable handling device to allow the flexible cable to rest on the bottom of the water column.

    Abstract: Method for obtaining zero offset or near zero offset data in a marine seismic streamer survey. An acoustic transmitter (41) is attached to one of the buoys (14 or 16) that provide flotation to each streamer (12) and tow umbilical (13). The acoustic transmitters, or single transmitter in the case of a 2-D survey, may be fired (71-73) before each shot from the survey air guns. The response to the acoustic transmitters recorded by the near sensors in each streamer, or by a water break sensor if provided, will be a near-zero to zero-offset record of the shallow subsurface below the water bottom.

    Abstract: Method and retrievable vertical hydrophone cable for collecting seismic data underground. The retrievable vertical hydrophone cable includes an envelope having a first end at which a connector mechanism is provided to close the envelope; plural hydrophones distributed inside the envelope at predetermined positions; and a fluid provided inside the envelope and around the plural hydrophones. The envelope increases its volume when the fluid is pressurized through the connector mechanism.

    Abstract: An apparatus includes particle motion sensors and a streamer that contains the particle motion sensors. The streamer is to be towed in connection with a seismic survey, and the towing of the streamer produces a turbulent flow. The streamer includes an inner cable that contains the particle motion sensors and a fluid containing layer to surround the inner cable to reduce noise otherwise sensed by the particle motion sensors due to the turbulent flow.

The float body comprises first and second elongated steering foils being attached to and spaced from respective port and starboard sides of the fore part of said float body by respective support arrangement. The steering foils have respective longitudinal steering foil axes being oriented in a direction substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the float body and so as to be substantially perpendicular to a sea surface when in use, the elongated steering foils having respective first and second chord axes. Controlling means control an angle of at least one of the first and second chord axis with respect to the float body longitudinal axis.
