Streamers on autopilot

摘要

From steerable streamers to streamers that steer themselves, a new system targets the issues of trousering and feathering. Airline pilots use it to guide their airplanes. Ships' captains use it to guide their vessels. Now seismic crews can use it too - autopilot for streamers. Nautilus, Sercel's newest positioning tool for all aspects of streamer control, is now in commercial release. Among the many novel features of the system is the ability to put the streamers on "autopilot," that is, to regularize streamer shape at the touch of a button.
