Simultaneous sources: A technology whose time has come
Craig J. Beasley · 2008
It is a rare and exhilarating moment when an emerging technology develops so rapidly that it warrants a special session at the SEG Annual Meeting, while, at the same time, it remains so compact that most of what is known on the topic will be presented at that session. We find ourselves in that situation in this special session on the use of simultaneous sources in the marine environment. In this talk I will give an introduction to the session including some history of the problem, both within and outside of the geophysical community, as well as motivation and current issues that are stimulating research and commercial efforts.
