Abstract: Systems and methods for deployment and retrieval of ocean bottom seismic receivers. In some embodiments, the system includes a carrier containing receivers. The carrier can include a frame having a mounted structure (e.g., a movable carousel, movable conveyor, fixed parallel rails, or a barrel) for seating and releasing the receivers (e.g., axially stacked). The structure can facilitate delivering receivers to a discharge port on the frame. The system can include a discharge mechanism for removing receivers from the carrier. In some embodiments, the method includes loading a carrier with receivers, transporting the carrier from a surface vessel to a position adjacent the seabed, and using an ROV to remove receivers from the carrier and place the receivers on the seabed. In some embodiments, an ROV adjacent the seabed engages a deployment line that guides receivers from the vessel down to the ROV for “on-time” delivery and placement on the seabed.

Abstract: A system to deploy seismic sensors in a marine environment is provided. The system includes a seismic sensor transfer device to house and transport a plurality of seismic sensors. The seismic sensor transfer device is deployed from a vessel. The system includes a propulsion system of the seismic sensor transfer device to receive an instruction and move, responsive to the instruction, the seismic sensor transfer device. The system includes an underwater vehicle that transfers at least one of the plurality of seismic sensors from the seismic sensor transfer device to the underwater vehicle. The underwater vehicle operates at a second speed different from a first speed at which the vessel operates. The underwater vehicle places the at least one seismic sensor on a seabed.
