The wide bandwidth (up to 8KHz) of the GeoEel makes it applicable to all seis- mic surveys: petroleum, high-resolution engineering, and even sub-bottom profil- ing.
Only 1.5 in. (38 mm) in diameter and configurable with up to 240 channels and multiple streamers, the GeoEel sends data by Ethernet to any industry-standard low- cost PC. A comprehensive suite of soft- ware provides real-time gathers, brute stack, GPS integration, trigger timing, gun monitor and other data visualization, qual- ity control and instrument tests.
The small diameter GeoEel's is very- quiet, making full use of true 24-bit cir- cuitry.
In-water digitization eliminates ground loops and shipboard electrical noise, result- ing in quick, clean quality installations.
The compact GeoEel weighs about 1 kg per meter and is easily shippable by air as non-hazardous, non-flammable goods.
Unique construction makes systems up to 48 channels deployable by hand on small vessels.
A thick 3.2 mm skin protects the GeoEel in shallow water and transition zone appli- cations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
