    摘要: A seismic energy source apparatus (20) includes a stack (92,92′) of piezoelectric elements, means (58,96) for applying voltages thereto to cause the stack to vary in length. A hydraulic system including a power piston (90,90′) coupled to the stack, a drive piston (84,84′) and an incompressible fluid therebetween, amplifies the small movements of the stack, and the amplified movements are imparted to an earth formation. The amplified movements may be reciprocating torsional or radial, for example.

    摘要: A marine seismic reflection prospecting method and system in which coherent noise is attenuated through reinforcement of primary reflection data by the addition of corrected ghost reflection data. The system includes a seismic energy source, a detector, a wavefield separator, a time-shift element, and an element for generating an output signal representative of an additive linear combination of time-aligned primary and ghost signal components. The system's output is suitable for further pre-stack processing, e.g. NMO correction.

    摘要: A marine seismic surveying method utilizes two vertically spaced marine streamers (18,20) each having a plurality of seismic detectors (22,24) contained therein, and a seismic energy source (16) positioned at or near the surface (38) of a body of water (10) to generate seismic waves (30,32,34) which propagate into earth formations (26,28) below the water and reflect back up to be detected at each streamer. Seismic waves also reflect from the water/air interface back down toward the streamers. The seismic waves detected at two selected vertically displaced seismic detectors (22,24) are combined to form a sum signal which is then combined with a scaled time integral of a difference signal to form a resultant signal which preserves either the upgoing or downgoing seismic waves. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the sum signal and the integral signal are both filtered to remove DC bias and low frequency components prior to the combination. Additionally, the time integral of the difference signal is preferably scaled by balancing the power therein with the power in the sum signal, thereby automatically adjusting for variations in detector spacing which may occur. In one embodiment of the present invention, the upgoing signal and downgoing signal are time shifted and combined to maximize the resultant signal-to-­noise ratio.

    摘要: A method of reducing horizontally propagating pressure waves in marine seismic exploration to improve the signal-to-noise ratio at associated receivers and reduce interference at unassociated receivers, comprises providing marine vibrators (12,14,16,18) in an array with a given separation between each vibrator, so that horizontally propagating pressure waves from the vibrators which generally traverse the array are out-of-phase at most frequencies of vibration. The amplitude output from each vibrator varies with the output frequency of each vibrator to maximise the cancellation of out-of-phase pressure waves along the array. A receiver, which usually includes a plurality of hydrophones (34,36,38) disposed in a streamer (20), is spaced from the marine vibrators at a distance sufficient to establish the receiver as being in the far-­field. The output of each of the marine vibrators is locked in phase and frequency with a known pilot signal so that downwardly propagating pressure waves are substantially unaffected. The overall effect is a narrowing of the radiation pattern of the pressure waves. The resulting radiation pattern effectively directs pressure waves downwardly toward an underwater land formation; and reduces horizontally propagating pressure waves which normally result in interference with marine seismic receivers.
