Seismic cable control - eBird
eBird® is unique in seismic operations with its ability to control lateral position of the streamer in addition to vertical position and roll orientation. eBird® is a bird for lateral, vertical and roll streamer control in marine seismic acquisition. This enables the surveyor to have positive control of streamer roll orientation, depth and separation during the whole operation including deployment and retrieval.
Novel technology
The eBird® is equipped with robust and advanced steering devices ensuring continuous operation for all types of streaming cable. The innovative implementation of technology with no connector between body and wings makes the eBird® robust for all operational conditions.
Easy deployment and retrieval
The eBird® is made of titanium to gain a high tensile strength as well as extraordinary corrosion resistance. The wings are easy to connect and disconnect for an efficient deployment and retrieval of the seismic cable. The eBird® body is short and slender to avoid any damage when winding up and off the streamer drum.
