In November 1995, Texaco Inc. and PGS formed an alliance for commercializing a new method to acquire 3-D marine seismic. The venture offers vertical cable seismic (VCS) data acquisitions and processing. The 3-D technique was developed by Texaco at its exploration and production technology center in Houston. The vertical cables yield high-resolution 3-D data which is acquired in a truly 3-D sense as opposed to conventional acquisition using a series of 2-D lines. Positioning of arrays is well defined, which results in complete and accurate data analysis.
