Seismic prospecting method providing for the determination of the flank dip of subterranean layers and device for carrying out the same

Patent ·
OSTI ID:6528274

Seismic prospecting method for determining the flank dip of subterranean layers with respect to the plane of a seismic profile, comprising sequentially transmitting acoustic waves with different directivity diagrams, recording the corresponding reflected waves, combining, according to a determined law, the transmitted acoustic intensities and, separately, values representative of the intensity of the reflected waves, in each of the directivity diagrams and comparing the results of said separate combinations.
