    摘要: Embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods for deriving a source signature for an array of seismic sources for marine seismic analysis, wherein the systems and methods include factors for determining the source signature taking into consideration both sea-surface and sea-floor reflections of signals produced by the seismic sources. In certain aspects, reflection coefficients of the sea-surface and the sea-floor and relative lengths of paths between a seismic source image and a detector are applied to a series of simultaneous equations that are solved using measurements of the pressure field produced by the array at a plurality of known locations to determine individual source signatures for each seismic source in the array and these individual source signatures may then be superposed to provide a source signature for the array that accounts for sea-floor reflections of outputs from the seismic sources.

    摘要: A device including a housing defining a first chamber and a port formed through the housing. A shuttle flange moveably positioned within the first chamber. The shuttle flange moves during a gas-release cycle between i) a closed position blocking the port, and ii) an open position exposing an exit area of the port through which a compressed gas is discharged. A method for generating a seismic pressure pulse in water includes the steps of, confining a compressed gas within a chamber having a port, creating an exit area through the port by moving a shuttle along the length of the port during a gas-release cycle, pre-releasing a charge of the compressed gas through the exit area to create a pre-released bubble, choking the exit area, and producing a primary pressure pulse by releasing a main charge of compressed gas through the exit area.

    摘要: A method for selecting parameters of a seismic source array comprising a plurality of source elements each having a notional source spectrum is described, the method comprising calculating a ghost response function of the array; calculating directivity effects of the array; and adjusting the parameters of the array such that the directivity effects of the array are compensated by the ghost response to minimize angular variation of a far field response in a predetermined frequency range. A method for determining a phase center of a seismic source array is also related, the method comprising calculating a far field spectrum of the array at predetermined spherical angles, and minimizing the phase difference between the farfield spectra within a predetermined frequency range by adjusting a vertical reference position from which the spherical angles are defined.
