Delivering the best possible image
To get the most out of seafloor seismic acquisition, data must be of the highest possible quality. The unique Q-Seabed system design addresses all aspects of noise and perturbation removal, delivering increased confidence in interpretation.
-
Seafloor coupling
Poor seafloor coupling with conventional seabed systems results in phase and frequency errors between the X and Y components. The unique Q-Seabed cable design enables uniform coupling in all directions, ensuring fidelity between all four wavefield components.
-
Sensors
Q-Seabed is a single-sensor acquisition system with calibrated hydrophones and accelerometers.
Geophone accelerometer
The Q-Seabed vibration sensor is a fixed-axis geophone accelerometer (GAC) that converts surface displacement into an acceleration signal.
Calibrated hydrophone
Q-Seabed technology automatically calibrates the hydrophones, thereby reducing sensitivity variations that introduce perturbations and noise.
-
Positioning
Integrated positioning
A significant Q-Seabed technology feature is the use of transducers within the cable. The hydrophones are also used for acoustic positioning, thus improving safety, efficiency, and quality of the acquisition.
Survey control
The TRINAV system facilitates real-time control of operations with multiple recording and shooting vessels, enabling safe and efficient operations.

Source
The unique Q-Seabed source design and controller offers a source for seabed seismic acquisition with better signal fidelity than conventional towed marine source arrays.
