A system for towing a marine geophysical sensor streamer includes a lead in line (5) extending from a tow vessel (7). A streamer front end termination (15) is coupled to an end of the lead in line and to a forward end of the sensor streamer. A floatation device (3) is coupled by a line proximate to the front end termination (15). A winch (10) is disposed on the floatation device to extend and retract the line. A depth sensor is disposed proximate the front end termination (15). A controller (22) is in signal communication with the winch and the depth sensor so that the forward end of the streamer is maintained at a selected depth in the body of water.

摘要:
A method for marine seismic surveying includes determining at least an initial depth of a plurality of spaced apart seismic sensors in a body of water. The sensors each include a substantially collocated pressure responsive sensor and motion responsive sensor. A ghost time delay is determined for each sensor based on the at least an initial depth. Seismic signals detected by each motion responsive sensor and each pressure responsive sensor are cross ghosted. The at least initial depth is adjusted, and the determining ghost time delay and cross ghosted seismic signals are repeated until a difference between the cross ghosted motion responsive signal and the cross ghosted pressure responsive signal falls below a selected threshold.

A receiver streamer system for marine electromagnetic surveying includes a first streamer (302a), and a second streamer (302b) disposed substantially parallel to and spaced apart from the first streamer. A first pair of electrodes (306a1,306a2) is associated with the first streamer (302a) and a second pair of electrodes (306b1,306b2) is associated with the second streamer (302b). Each of the first and second pairs of electrodes is functionally associated with a voltage measuring circuit configured to measure voltage along an inline direction. At least one electrode on each of the first and second streamers is configured and associated with a voltage measuring circuit to make voltage measurements in a cross-line direction.
摘要:
A method for generating seismic energy for subsurface surveying includes operating a first seismic vibrator and operating at least a second seismic vibrator in a body of water substantially contemporaneously with the operating the first seismic vibrator. Each vibrator has a different selected frequency response, and the vibrators each are operated at a depth in the water such that a surface ghost amplifies a downward output of each vibrator within a selected frequency range. A signal used to drive each vibrator has a frequency range corresponding to the frequency range of each vibrator.
摘要:
A method for towing a streamer array includes moving a vessel along a body of water. Streamers (20) are towed by vessel. A relative position is determined at selected points along each streamer with respect to the vessel. At least one of the streamers (20) is deflected at at least one longitudinal position along the streamer in response to the determined positions to maintain the streamers in a selected geometry. The selected geometry is related to one of survey vessel heading, energy source trajectory, previously plotted sensor trajectory and a lateral separation related to distance from the towing vessel.
摘要:
Pressure records and vertical particle velocity records from dual sensor towed streamer data are transformed to the inline wavenumber domain. A series of scaling filters are applied to the transformed vertical particle velocity records at each inline wavenumber, wherein each of the series of scaling filters is calculated for a different cross-streamer wavenumber range and in blocks of inline traces in which all seismic events are approximately linear. The pressure spectrum and the scaled vertical particle velocity spectrum are combined to separate upgoing and downgoing wavefield components. The separated upgoing and downgoing wavefield components are inverse-transformed back to the time-space domain.
摘要:
Embodiments relate generally to marine geophysical surveying. More particularly, embodiments relate to a wax application system (4) for application of a wax coating to a surface of a streamer. An embodiment may comprise a marine geophysical survey system. The marine geophysical survey system may comprise a streamer (6) and a wax application system (4) operable to receive the streamer on deployment and apply a wax coating to the streamer as the streamer is being deployed from a survey vessel into a body of water.
摘要:
Techniques are disclosed relating to configuring a marine seismic survey. In some embodiments, a vessel may be coupled to one or more seismic sources and one or more seismic streamers, and a second vessel may be coupled to one or more far offset seismic sources. The far offset seismic sources may be configured to actuate less frequently than the (near) offset seismic sources. Seismic data may then be collected, via the one or more seismic streamers, responsive to actuations of the offset sources and the far offset seismic sources.
