    摘要: A system to detect and control noise in seismic surveys is provided. The system receives, responsive to a seismic wave generated by a source, seismic data detected by a sensor component of a seismic data acquisition unit. The system generates, for windows of the seismic data, Hough tensors for seismic data transforms in multiple dimensions. The system detects, based on a comparison of an eigenvector and eigenvalue of a canonical matrix of the Hough tensors with a historical eigenvector and eigenvalue of a historical canonical matrix of historical Hough tensors of historical seismic data, a first presence of noise in the seismic data. The first presence of noise can correspond to a noisy spectra pattern in a seismic data transform of the seismic data. The system provides, responsive to detection of the first presence of noise in the seismic data, a notification to adjust a characteristic of the seismic survey.

    摘要: Methods and systems, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium can be used to preserve edges while performing Gaussian grid smoothing of noise components in subsurface grids to generate geological maps. A subsurface grid is generated from data indicating properties of subsurface formations. A weighting grid is generated by: i) receiving seismic data representing the subsurface formations; ii) generating seismic attributes associated with discontinuities in the subsurface formations; and iii) assigning a particular weight value to weighting grid points that the seismic attributes associated with discontinuities in the subsurface formations indicate the presence of a discontinuity. The subsurface grid is processed by iteratively computing local averages of grid points in the subsurface grid using a compact Gaussian filter weighted by values in the weighting grid. A geological map of subsurface formations is generated based on the filtered subsurface grid.

    摘要: A lift based acoustic source is towable in an undersea environment by a towing vessel. A controller provides a combined lift control signal and an acoustic source signal. A control cable is joined between the towing vessel and a towed depressor having an active lift control system. The combined signal is used to control the towed depressor active lift control system. The towed depressor lift fluctuates in response to the source signal to generate the undersea acoustic signal. A hydrophone or hydrophone array can be provided for measuring the generated acoustic signal for feedback and monitoring.

    摘要: A system and method for interpolating seismic data collected by a set of geophones arranged in an irregularly spaced grid by: transforming the collected seismic data by a Radon transform; pre-computing a set of basis function correlation factors by geometrically scaling a spatial geometry of each temporal frequency slice of the transformed seismic data independently by its temporal frequency; computing, solely in the transformed domain, an anti-leakage Radon transform of the seismic data by computing each Radon coefficient independently for each temporal frequency slice using the pre-computed basis function correlation factors, until a relative error between the collected seismic data and an approximation of the collected seismic data based on the Radon coefficients is less than a predetermined convergence threshold; and simulating seismic data collected in a regularly spaced grid by interpolating the anti-leakage Radon transform of the collected seismic data in the irregularly spaced grid.

    摘要: Aspects of the invention include arranging two cylindrical magnets with transverse magnetization to be parallel to each other along their longitudinal axis. The two cylindrical magnets have a space between them and are prevented from moving relative to one another. An exemplary method includes disposing a diamagnetic object in the space between the two cylindrical magnets, wherein the object levitates above the space. A motion detector is arranged to identify relative movement between the two cylindrical magnets and the object, and an infrasound wave is identified based on the relative movement.

    摘要: A seismic streamer includes an outer sheath that forms an interior region of the seismic streamer of which a portion is filled with a gel or liquid. The streamer also includes at least one stress member placed off-center in the interior region, and multiple sensors mounted proximate to a center of the interior region, where the sensors include a pressure sensor and a motion sensor. The streamer further includes multiple tilt sensors mounted along the interior region. A method of manufacturing a seismic streamer includes placing at least one stress member off-center along a first direction, mounting multiple spacers along the stress member, and affixing sensors to respective spacers, where the sensors include a pressure sensor and a motion sensor. The method further includes mounting tilt sensors along the first direction and affixing an outer sheath to the streamer that forms an interior region of the seismic streamer.

    摘要: A holder and at least one terminal element that are configured and arranged with respect to one another so as to form a cavity of length ΔL bounded axially by two walls the relative position of which with respect to each other varies in the opposite direction to the variation in ambient temperature, an increase in temperature causing the walls to move closer together and vice versa. A linear structure incorporating the device sees its length decrease when temperature increases and vice versa. Electro-optical transducers comprising a piezoelectric actuator of linear structure that acts on the length of a segment of optical fiber that forms the laser source of the transducer, and having such a device incorporated into the actuator in order to compensate, by modifying the length of the segment of fiber, for the variations in wavelength induced in the laser by the variations in temperature.
