Abstract

Application of 3-D seismic and OBS exploration has been ever-increasing in the marine survey on natural gas hy-drate. The seismic source is one of determining factors in the acquisition, which is related to the quality of seismic data(P-wave and converted S-wave) acquired. The high quality data help to reveal the feature of velocity anomaly of strata bearing gas hydrate. By taking firing bandwidth, output and bubble effect into integrated consideration, a new type of GI gun point source was designed and then applied in the investigation on gas hydrate. Tests were conducted in northern of the South China Sea repeatedly over time from 2006 to 2009. The results indicated the application of new point source can enhance the penetrating capability of seismic P-wave and can improve the quality of P-wave and converted S-wave that OBS acquired.
