    摘要: A resonant source element is configured to generate seismic waves in water. The resonant source element includes a housing having two openings covered by first and second pistons, wherein the first and second pistons are configured to freely translate relative to the housing to generate the seismic waves; and a high-pressure system configured to discharge inside the housing and to actuate the first and second pistons. The first and second pistons are configured to oscillate after the high-pressure system is fired to generate low-frequency seismic waves.

    摘要: A low frequency sound source has a radiating piston (3) of the order of a few meters across backed by a gas spring (13, 15) containing a fixed mass of gas. The gas pressure in the spring is kept at levels for which the natural frequency of the piston (3) loaded by the fluid (41) lies in the seismic band and may be as low as 0.5 Hz. The piston (3) is given an initial displacement and begins to oscillate. Its oscillations are sustained by an actuator (27, 29) whose drive signal is derived from the velocity of the piston (5) via a velocity or displacement sensor. The sound source is caused to perform a frequency sweep by gradually compressing the gas in the gas spring (13, 15) so that the spring becomes stiffer both because of the rising pressure and because of the reducing length of the gas spring spaces (13, 15). This double effect allows large changes in stiffness to be produced and hence allows the source to operate over at least three octaves of frequency.

    摘要: A seismic acoustic signal source includes a hull that has a wetted surface in contact with a body of water. When underway, the draft of the hull is substantially zero. An acoustic signal generator is provided with a linear actuator that is resiliently mounted in the hull. The linear actuator is acoustically coupled to the hull bottom such that when the signal generator is activated, the hull radiates an acoustic wavefield into the water.

    摘要: A seismic source for use in a borehole (10) comprises a resonant system (26) which is excited at its resonance frequency while said resonance frequency is caused to vary in controlled manner, thereby performing a frequency sweep. To this end, the pressure inside the enclosure (32) containing the reaction mass (30) of the resonant system (26) is raised to a given initial static pressure by means of a high pressure unit (60), after which the pressure inside the upper chamber (38) of the enclosure (32) is caused to vary according to a substantially sinusoidal law, by means of an electrically controlled valve (52) fed from a low pressure unit (46), while the static pressure is caused to vary regularly via a constriction (74).

    摘要: A sonar projector having a pair of opposed oscillating pistons driven by an electromagnetic assembly is rendered capable of operating at reduced resonant frequency by providing liquid mass loading for the pistons. The mass loading is achieved by utilizing a structure which constricts a body of liquid on one side of the piston. The constricted liquid may be sea water or a liquid sealed within the body of the unit. In accordance with a further aspect of the invention, a seal assembly is provided for the moving pistons which not only provides a sealing function but which also acts to radially center the pistons and to provide an axially directed restoring force thereto during piston oscillation. The electromagnetic assembly, in accordance with still a further aspect of the invention, is formed with a permanent magnet structure arranged in a cylindrical configuration with the opposed pistons on opposite axial ends thereof to reduce magnetic leakage losses.

    摘要: A seismic energy source provides a bias pressure and oscillating pressure force on a piston mounted transversely to the major axis of the well bore and in pressure contact with the wall of the well bore. A seismographic energy wave is generated in the surrounding earth by oscillating the pressure of the piston against the well wall. This apparatus uses the pressure of ambient fluid in the well bore to reduce the power required to provide pressure contact and to oscillate the piston against the wall.
