With this arrangement, Applied Acoustics’ customers will have the advantage of using the prov-en Triton topside software to acquire high-resolution seismic data from the Applied Acoustic sparker/boomer systems. The Perspective-SB software will give these users the tools they need for the accurate processing, display and interpretation of these data in a broad range of applications where an accurate un-derstanding of sub surface geology is critical.May 201456 MTRMTR #4 (50-64).indd 56 MTR #4 (50-64).indd 56 5/12/2014 10:24:00 AM5/12/2014 10:24:00 AM
