Multicomponent seismic technology has been improved significantly with higher fidelity acquisition systems and more advanced data analysis methods. Especially in marine seismic, 4-Component Ocean Bottom Cable (OBC) is practically applied for reservoir characterization and exploration at the water depth of more than 1000m. Converted wave processing and interpretation is a fairly new topic and there is a lack of data and expertise around the world. Until now, the most common converted wave data has been essentially 1-D, VSP and OBS (Ocean Bottom Seismometer) records. Recently there is an increasing use of multi-component OBC 2-D and 3-D surveys. They are especially applied to evaluate reservoirs, because it has been revealed that P-S converted waves can give valuable additional lithological information. They also give clear reflections where the P-wave reflections are poor due to a very small acoustic impedance contrast. It is worthwhile that we introduce the actual processing of the 4-C line to discuss on P-S converted wave processing and later to develop new tools and techniques in this rapidly evolving field. Since marine multicomponent seismic survey has not been carried out yet in Japan, we use a 4-Component OBC (4C OBC) 2-D line, acquired by PGS Norway in 1998. The data was purchased by JNOC/TRC in 2002, as a part of the methane hydrate research program, to evaluate the use of P-S converted wave data in determining the properties of the hydrate layer and the BSR. The 4C line was acquired along the track of a previous conventional streamer line which showed a BSR. The location is in the Norwegian Sea, just up-dip of a major sedimentary slide, known as the 'Storegga Slide'. The results of the first investigation of the 4C data were published by Andreassen et al (2001). They presented a very significant difference between the P-wave and the PS converted wave sections in the hydrate layer and around the BSR. In fact, the BSR was not visible on the PS-wave section. The result shows that a lot of additional information is contained in the converted waves. We reprocessed the 4C data and discussed the specific problems.<br>
