Abstract: A seismic streamer includes a jacket covering an exterior of the streamer. At least one strength member extends along the length of the jacket. The strength member is disposed inside the jacket. At least one seismic sensor is disposed in an interior of the jacket. An acoustically transparent material fills void space in the interior of the jacket. At least one longitudinally compressible element is disposed at a selected position along the streamer. The longitudinally compressible element fills substantially all void space within a cross-section of the interior of the jacket to separate the material into two compartments, thus attenuating transmission of acoustic waves in the material across the element.

Abstract: A seismic streamer system for acquiring seismic data includes a plurality of first cable sections each employing a first sensor configuration therein, and at least one second cable section operatively connected to one or more of the first cable sections and employing a second sensor configuration therein. In various embodiments of the streamer system, one or more of the second cable sections are sparsely integrated into a streamer, a streamer array, and/or a seismic spread. The first sensor configuration may, e.g., include a conventional hydrophone distribution, and the second sensor configuration may, e.g., include multicomponent sensors such as at least one of a particle velocity sensor, a pressure gradient sensor, an accelerometer, and a combination thereof. The present invention is useful for attenuating noise in the measured seismic data as well as deghosting the data. A particular deghosting process includes decomposing the up- and down-going parts of the vertical component of particle velocity associated with the acoustic wave reflections from the strata.

Abstract: A hermaphroditic connector for a multiple conduit cable assembly comprises a cylindrical protective collar surrounding an inner cylindrical core. The collar is axially secured to the inner core but partially rotatable about the core. The distal end of the collar is formed to rotatively mesh with another collar of the same shape to mechanically secure a joint of two collars. Cable conduits enter the assembly through one axial end for electrical junction to terminals imbedded within the inner core. The terminals are functionally aligned with one of four parallel chord sections on the distal end-face of the inner core. The cross-sectional area of the inner core end-face is divided into two half-area sections; two parallel chord sections in each half-area section. The distal end-faces of the several chord sections are profiled to three, axially spaced, cross-sectional planes to axially mesh respective connector pins and sockets.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to systems and methods for acquiring seismic data. In one exemplary embodiment, a method for acquiring seismic data is described in which recorder instruments are deployed to the seafloor and utilized for recording pressure wave and shear wave data. An acoustic array, displaced from the seafloor, is also provided for sending acoustic signals to the instruments on the seafloor. The orientation of the instruments on the seafloor is determined via acoustic communication between the acoustic array and the instruments. Related systems and methods for acquiring seismic data are also described.

Abstract: An inner race for a streamer cable connector. The inner race includes first and second curved sections with a screwless fastener for clamping the two sections together about the streamer cable. The two curved sections may be hinged at first ends so that the inner race can be opened like a clam shell for placement about the cable. Cooperating teeth on the second ends of the inner race provide a screwless fastener for the two halves, with the teeth cooperatively arranged to ratchet by each other as the curved sections are closed around the cable.

Abstract: A gel-filled seismic streamer containing a hydrophone housing which isolates a hydrophone element from shear waves and mechanical forces but sensitive to pressure waves. In one embodiment, the gel-filled streamers contains a hydrophone housing with an air pocket at each end for isolating a pressure sensitive hydrophone element from mechanical noise generated by cable movement during seismic data acquisition operations. The hydrophone housing further provides and a protective case to isolate a pressure-sensitive hydrophone element from shear waves. An inlet formed in the protective hydrophone housing enables pressure waves to be communicated to the pressure sensitive hydrophone element inside of the housing. An alternative hydrophone housing for deployment inside of a streamer is also disclosed which fixably positions a positioning hydrophone or seismic hydrophone within the housing using rubber supports.
