Abstract: The disclosure provides a borehole tool for seismic data collection. The tool comprises a cable to be positioned within a borehole and at least one sensor for measuring seismic signals mounted on the cable. The sensors provide measurements of particle motion (velocity or acceleration) perpendicular to an axis of the borehole. The disclosure also provides methods of seismic surveying, which involves positioning the tool in the borehole, firing a seismic source generating a seismic wave and measuring particle motion associated with the passing seismic wave perpendicular to an axis of the borehole using the at least one sensor for measuring particle motion.

Abstract: A remotely actuated clamping device for a borehole seismic sensing system. The remotely actuated clamping device includes a clamping mechanism configured to engage a surface of a borehole by actuation of the clamping mechanism. The remotely actuated clamping device also includes a fluid based actuator configured to actuate the clamping mechanism. The fluid based actuator includes a chamber configured to be kept at a pressure that is isolated from an ambient pressure of the borehole. The fluid based actuator also includes a piston within the chamber. The chamber receives a pressurized fluid to move the piston within the chamber to actuate the clamping mechanism. The pressure used to actuate the clamping mechanism is independent of the ambient pressure of the borehole. Also disclosed are methods of operating the device.

Abstract: A multitude of seismic sources are formed into a linear array which can be permanently cemented within a wellbore. The seismic sources can be orbital vibrators that are electrically connected and protected from the cementing by use of pieces of drill pipe and tubing that are interconnected and provide a container for electrical connection of the seismic sources and provide surface access through a surface vault.

Abstract: A downhole receiver for gathering seismic and sonic data from inside a borehole includes a substantially tubular housing adapted for axial connection to a tool string, and one or more sensors. A damping element is provided to flexibly couple each sensor to the tubular housing. An actuator extends the one or more sensors substantially radially with respect to the tubular housing to clamp the sensors against the wall of the borehole. In selected embodiments, the sensors may be one or multiple component geophones, accelerometers, hydrophones, vibrometers, or the like.
