The concept of circular geometry for towed‐streamer marine acquisition was introduced in the early 1980s by French (French, 1984). Due to the limitations in marine technology and processing methods at the time, circular geometry had a short time span. Recently, it was proved that is feasible to use this type of geometry to acquire full‐azimuth (FAZ) data using a single vessel, if the vessel sails along a pattern of overlapping circles (Moldoveanu, 2008). This technique is called Coil Shooting* single‐vessel full azimuth acquisition. In this paper we demonstrate the benefits of implementing coil shooting acquisition with multiple vessel configurations.
