Streamer depth control is a vital element in towed streamer acquisition. Maintaining the streamer at a predefined target depth optimizes the bandwidth of the acquired seismic data, maximizing both the resolution and the survey-to-survey repeatability of the resulting seismic images.
Streamer depth controllers, also known as birds, protect the investment of seismic acquisition contractors by allowing the vessel operator to bring the cable to the surface in shallow water or to dive the cable to avoid shipping traffic.
DigiCOURSE birds are used by virtually every major seismic contractor, setting the standard in marine depth control via:
- Unmatched service and reliability
- Low maintenance and operation cost
- Protection of customer investments through continuous product improvement
- Flexible integration with acoustics and heading sensors
- A powerful on-board system that integrates acoustics and heading sensors
- Offering a total solution that includes streamer attachment devices, batteries and peripherals.
- Availability of fully exportable bird
