Abstract: A hybrid sensing apparatus for collecting data inside a well, the apparatus including an optical cable that acquires a first set of data; and an array of discrete probes connected to each other with an electrical cable. The discrete probes are configured to acquire a second set of data. The apparatus further includes an attachment system attached to the discrete probes and configured to hold the optical cable. The attachment system is configured to expose the optical cable to directly contact the well.

Abstract: A marine seismic data acquisition system includes a streamer spread including plural streamers; a first set of front sources configured to generate seismic waves; a streamer vessel towing the streamer spread and the first set of the front sources, in front of the streamer spread along an inline direction X; a second set of top sources configured to generate additional seismic waves; and first and second source vessels towing the second set of top sources directly above or below the streamer spread. A number NT of the top sources is larger than a number NF of the front sources.

Abstract: A method for seismic exploration of a subsurface formation with a seismic survey system includes directly receiving a message, at a first fleet of seismic sources, from a second fleet; storing the message at the first fleet; verifying one or more constraints related to the first and second fleets, at the first fleet; initiating a triggering sequence of the seismic sources of the first fleet, upon verification of the one or more constraints, with no input from a central unit of the seismic survey system; and performing a sweep based on the triggering sequence.

Abstract: A hybrid cable for collecting data inside a well includes an electrical cable extending along a longitudinal axis of the hybrid cable, an optical fiber extending along the longitudinal axis, an armor that extends along the longitudinal axis, and encircles the electrical cable and the optical fiber, and a connecting device extending along the longitudinal axis, to enclose the electrical cable and the optical fiber, and to be enclosed by the armor. The connecting device has an unsmooth external surface.

Abstract: In order to monitor the subsoil of the earth under a target zone, seismic waves coming from an identified mobile noise source are recorded by means of at least one pair of sensors disposed on either side of the target zone, time periods are selected corresponding to the alignments of the pairs of sensors with the noise source, a seismogram of the target zone is reconstructed by interferometry based on the recorded seismic waves and on the selected time periods and an image of the subsoil of the target zone is generated using the seismogram.

Abstract: A method for configuring a multi-source and a hexa-source for acquiring first and second seismic datasets of a subsurface. The method includes selecting a number n of source arrays to create the multi-source; selecting a number m of sub-arrays for each source array, each sub-array having a plurality of source elements; imposing a distance D between any two adjacent source arrays of the multi-source; calculating a distance d between any two adjacent sub-arrays of a same source array so that bins associated with the first and second seismic datasets are interleaved; selecting source elements from at least six different sub-arrays of the n source arrays to create the hexa-source; and firing the multi-source to acquire the first dataset, and firing the hexa-source to acquire the second dataset.
