    Abstract: A marine streamer includes: an optical fiber disposed along a length of the streamer; a light source; and light analysis equipment, wherein: the length is at least 20 km, a diameter of the streamer is no more than 25 mm, the optical fiber, light source, and light analysis equipment are configured to provide a receiver sampling density of at least 1 per meter, and the streamer is configured to be towed nominally horizontally through a body of water. A method of marine surveying includes: towing a streamer spread at a first depth of 10 m to 30 m with a survey vessel; and towing Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) streamers at a second depth of greater than 30 m. A method includes: acquiring long-offset data with sensors distributed along the DAS streamers.

    Abstract: A method includes: towing sources in a wide-tow source survey configuration; actuating at least one of the sources to create a signal; detecting the signal with a first receiver of a first plurality of streamers; and detecting the signal with a second receiver of a second plurality of streamers, wherein: the second plurality of streamers are interspersed with streamers from the first plurality of streamers in the port outer region and in the starboard outer region. A system includes: sources in a wide-tow source survey configuration and coupled to the survey vessel; a first plurality of streamers comprising a regular streamer spread and coupled to the survey vessel; and a second plurality of streamers coupled to the survey vessel, wherein: the second plurality of streamers are interspersed with streamers from the first plurality of streamers in the port outer region and in the starboard outer region.

    Abstract: The present invention provides a five-component marine natural gas hydrate intelligent sensing node, comprising a titanium alloy compartment, an information acquisition unit, an integrated control chip, and a power module; the integrated control chip comprises an intelligent computing unit and a transmission unit; the intelligent computing unit is configured for acquiring quality monitoring indicators of marine natural gas hydrates by feature extraction and transmitting reduced represented features to a monitoring device on the sea surface via the transmission unit. The present invention has overcome problems of impossible timely quality monitoring due to blind acquisition process, promised a controllable undersea node working status, and acquired data are complete without any loss, which doesn't only facilitate nonconventional energy resources such as marine hydrates prospection, and is also of great application prospect and value in oil and gas resources exploration, geological hazards precautions and evaluation.

    Abstract: A packing module includes a volumetrically efficient structure for separately retaining sensors and a cable of a sensor array. The packing module includes a tray that supports the sensors and a retaining leaf arrangement that extends outwardly from the tray to retain the cable on the tray. The retaining leaf arrangement includes a plurality of nested leaves that are spaced relative to each other. Packing the module includes placing the sensors separately and in succession on the tray and inserting a portion of the cable in the retaining leaf arrangement in between each placing of a sensor. The placement of a sensor and insertion of a portion of the cable occurs alternately until the entire sensor array is accommodated. Deployment of the sensor array may occur by alternately removing a sensor and a portion of the cable until the sensor array is displaced from the module.
