Narrow-azimuth seismic data

  "term": "Narrow-azimuth seismic data",
  "field": "Oil and gas",
  "definition": "Seismic data acquired with a limited range of source-to-receiver azimuths, resulting in a restricted illumination of the subsurface. This acquisition geometry is characteristic of conventional towed-streamer marine surveys where the vessel tows both sources and receivers in a straight line. The limited azimuthal coverage can make imaging complex geological structures or characterizing azimuthal anisotropy in the reservoir difficult.",
