By harnessing the combined power of three of their AA202 Boomer Plates to provide a single pulse, the Applied Acoustics S-Boom System is re-de?ning the boundaries of shallow seismic surveying. Already recognised for producing high resolution seabed pro?les, the fusion of these three transducers delivers a source level high enough to signi?cantly increase sub-bottom penetration without loss of data quality. +44 (0)1493 440355 : general@appliedacoustics.com : www.appliedacoustics.com S-Boom Geophysical SystemsShallow water seismic re?ection surveysDeep penetration >200mtrUltra high resolution <0.25mtrClean, stable, repeatable pulse signatureSingle and multi channel streamer compatible77The number of production ß oaters on order is at an all- time high. The current order backlog consists of 77 pro-duction ß oaters Ð 44 FPSOs, seven production semis, Þ ve TLPs, Þ ve spars, four FLNGs and 12 FSRUs.
