Method and system for improving offset/azimuth distribution. The system includes plural streamers towed by a streamer vessel; a central source towed by the streamer vessel; first and second front sources located in front of the plural streamers along a traveling direction of the streamer vessel; and first and second large offset front sources located in front of the first and second front sources along the traveling direction. The offset distance between the first and second large offset front sources, along a cross-line direction, is larger than an offset distance between the first and second front sources.

Methods and systems for quality control of seismic data illumination map generation are described. The quality control is based on determined fold differences calculated using the actual position of the sources and receivers in the determination of the seismic illumination. In another aspect, sub-surface complexity is considered in preparing a map of seismic illumination. The seismic data illumination map can be evaluated in real-time onboard a seismic vessel and included as part of an infill reshoot decision making/quality control process.

Method and dynamically-adjusted marine acoustic source array for generating an acoustic wave in a body of water. The acoustic source array includes a float; plural actuation devices, each actuation device having corresponding cables; and plural source points connected to the float through the corresponding cables. The plural actuation devices dynamically adjust corresponding lengths of the corresponding cables to achieve a desired variable-depth profile for the plural source points.

A method for acquiring and improving seismic data includes activating a first seismic source located below a geophysical surface at a first depth and a second seismic source located below the geophysical surface at a second depth, wherein the second depth is below the first depth, acquiring seismic data with a seismic receiver in conjunction with activating the first seismic source and the second seismic source, and aligning primary reflections within the seismic data to provide improved seismic data. The method may also include determining changes to the regions below the second depth by comparing improved seismic data corresponding to a first acquisition event with improved seismic data corresponding to a second acquisition event. A corresponding system is also disclosed herein.

A method for determining interference noise recorded in a first seismic survey of a subsurface generated by a source in a second seismic survey. The method includes receiving seismic data recorded by seismic sensors of the first seismic survey, wherein the seismic data includes seismic waves that originate from the first seismic survey and seismic waves that originate from the second seismic survey; receiving actual relative shooting timing or actual shooting timing of seismic sources of the first and second seismic surveys; applying a processing algorithm to the seismic data to calculate the interference noise, wherein the processing algorithm that takes into consideration the actual relative shooting timing or the actual shooting timing of the seismic sources; and generating a final image of the subsurface based on the recorded seismic data from which the interference noise is subtracted.
摘要:
A method for de-ghosting marine seismic trace data is described. A reference seismic trace and a candidate seismic trace are selected from acquired seismic data. The acquired seismic data is gathered using a configuration wherein either a first streamer and a second streamer are disposed at different depths relative to one another and are laterally offset relative to one another, or using a configuration wherein a first source and a second source are disposed at different depths relative to one another and are laterally offset from one another. The reference seismic trace and the candidate seismic trace are processed, e.g., to perform normal moveout correction and/or vertical datum shifting, and the processed reference seismic trace is de-ghosted using the processed, candidate seismic trace.

Streamer and method for deploying the streamer for seismic data acquisition related to a subsurface of a body of water. The method includes a step of releasing into the body of water, from a vessel, a body having a predetermined length together with plural detectors provided along the body; a step of towing the body and the plural detectors such that the plural detectors are submerged; and a step of configuring plural birds provided along the body, to float at a predetermined depth from a surface of the water such that a first portion of the body has a curved profile while being towed underwater.
摘要:
A sensor probe system for measuring a signature of a marine seismic source array, the system including a base-mounted part attached to a base; a sensor probe configured to sink toward ocean bottom when released in water, wherein the sensor probe includes a signature sensor for measuring the signature of the source array; and a cable connecting the sensor probe to the base-mounted part so that the sensor probe is retrievable. A portion of the cable is wound in the base-mounted part and a remaining part of the cable is wound on a tail of the sensor probe prior to launch.

A method controls a delay of an air-gun in an aquatic seismic source. The method includes a step of receiving an attribute of the air-gun during the aquatic seismic survey; a step of calculating, based on a time-delay algorithm that uses the attribute, the asynchronization time of the air-gun; a step of determining whether the asynchronization time is smaller than a given time threshold; a step of instructing a controller to (1) wait for a predetermined time before calculating again the asynchronization time of the air-gun if the asynchronization time is smaller than the given time threshold, or (2) calculate an updated asynchronization time for the air-gun based on the attribute if the asynchronization time is larger than the given time threshold; and a step of sending the updated asynchronization time to a gun controller of the air-gun for adjusting a delay time for firing the air-gun.
