Seismic streamer receiver selection systems and methods
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- (a) a seismic streamer including a plurality of receivers;
(b) a skew detector adapted to detect inline skew of the streamer; and
(c) a receiver selector adapted to select which receivers in the streamer to use in data acquisition based on the detected streamer inline skew.

Abstract
Systems and methods for determining inline skew of one or more seismic streamers are disclosed. One system embodiment includes a seismic streamer including a plurality of receivers, a skew detector adapted to detect inline skew of the streamer, and a receiver selector adapted to select which receivers in the streamer to use in data acquisition based on the detected streamer inline skew. 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.
