Abstract: A marine seismic streamer comprising a solid, hydrophobic core member that is encased in a hydrophobic streamer skin/casing. The hydrophobic streamer skin may be extruded onto and/or heat welded to the hydrophobic core member. The hydrophobic streamer skin/casing may comprise a thermoplastic polyurethane that includes fluorine and/or silicon moieties, silicon, polydimethylsiloxane or the like. The hydrophobic streamer skin/casing may reduce the drag of the streamer and may provide anti-biofouling properties to the streamer. A hydrophobic paint, coating or polymer may in some instances be disposed on top of the hydrophobic streamer skin/casing.

Abstract: Various implementations directed to a foul release material for use with fairings. In one implementation, a seismic cable for use in a seismic acquisition system may include a fairing configured to engage with an outer diameter of the seismic cable. The seismic cable may also include a foul release material applied to an outer surface of the fairing, where the foul release material is configured to minimize the formation of biofouling on the outer surface of the fairing.
