Abstract:
A method for retrieval of self-contained, autonomous ocean bottom seismic data acquisition units secured to a non-rigid, non-conducing cable, wherein the cable is retrieved over the trailing edge of a working vessel on the surface of the water so as to permit the cable to billow out in the water column behind the vessel, thereby reducing stress on the cable and permitting greater control in cable handling.
