    摘要: A sweep generator is employed to generate a sweep to be used by a seismic vibrator device for generating a desired target output spectrum, wherein the frequency sweep is designed so as to comply with one or more constraints imposed by the seismic vibrator device and/or imposed by the environment in which the device is to be used. In one embodiment, a sweep generator determines a sweep for achieving a desired target output spectrum by a given seismic vibrator device in compliance with at least a pump flow constraint imposed by the seismic vibrator device. In another embodiment, a sweep generator determines a sweep for achieving a desired target output spectrum by a given seismic vibrator device in compliance with all of multiple operational constraints of the seismic vibrator device, such as both mass displacement and pump flow constraints. Environmental constraints may also be accounted for in certain embodiments.

    摘要: A method for seismic prospecting that includes a step of deploying plural vibratory sources on the ground; a step of receiving at each vibratory source a corresponding pilot signal for driving the vibratory source; a step of asynchronously actuating the vibratory sources to generate seismic waves into the ground; and a step of continuously recording seismic signals produced by the seismic waves. Pilot signals for the plural vibratory sources are obtained by spectrally shaping starting sequences into continuous pseudorandom sequences that are weakly correlated over a predetermined time interval.

    摘要: A method for the simultaneous operation of multiple seismic vibrators using unique modified pseudorandom sweeps and recovery of the transmission path response from each vibrator is disclosed. The vibrator sweeps are derived from pseudorandom binary sequences modified to be weakly correlated over a time window of interest, spectrally shaped and amplitude level compressed. Cross-correlation with each pilot signal is used to perform an initial separation of the composite received signal data set. Recordings of the motion of each vibrator are also cross-correlated with each pilot, windowed, and transformed to form a source cross-spectral density matrix in the frequency domain useful for source signature removal and for additional crosstalk-suppression between the separated records. After source signature removal in the frequency domain an inverse transform is applied to produce an estimate of each source-to-receiver earth response in the time domain. The method has application to both land and marine geophysical exploration.

    摘要: A vibrator seismic source has a sweep generator for providing a pilot signal and sensors for generating a feedback signal representative of the force imparted to the ground by the vibrator pad. Circuitry is incorporated for separating the fundamental signal from the feedback signal and for separating the distortion from the feedback signal. Means are provided for generating a control signal for controlling the action of the vibrator means. Included are means for reducing the amplitude of the pilot signal a designated amount, determined by the distortion, and means for algebraically summing the reduced amplitude pilot signal and the fundamental signal to provide an error signal. The error signal is input to a loop filter to perform real time correction of the control signal. The reduced amplitude pilot signal is input to means for adjusting the control signal for trends in the distortion. Additionally, the control system employs a phase detector circuit that outputs any phase difference between the feedback and pilot signals. The phase difference is applied to the control signal to shift the feedback signal phase to correspond to the pilot signal.

    摘要: A self-orienting vertically sensitive accelerometer is disclosed for measuring a vertical component of acceleration independently of the orientation of the accelerometer. The accelerometer of the present invention includes a spherical plastic shell having a plurality of perforations disposed therein and a thin film of metallic coated piezoelectric polymer bonded to the exterior thereof, forming a small diaphragm at each perforation. In response to acceleration a dynamic pressure is developed within a fluid mass partially filling the spherical plastic shell which creates a strain and resultant charge in each small diaphragm of piezoelectric polymer. The vast difference in density between the fluid mass and the air in the remaining volume of the spherical plastic shell permits the charge developed in each small diaphragm under fluid pressure to be attributed solely to the vertical component of acceleration applied to the fluid mass. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention the self-orienting vertically sensitive accelerometer is mounted within a low density open cell foam and utilized within a marine seismic streamer wherein orientation of each accelerometer is not easily controlled.

    摘要: A method of reducing horizontally propagating pressure waves in marine seismic exploration improves the signal-to-noise ratio at associated receivers and reduces interference at unassociated receivers. Marine vibrators are arranged into an array with a given separation between each vibrator, so that horizontally propagating pressure waves from the vibrators which generally traverse the array are out-of-phase at most frequencies of vibration. The amplitude output from each vibrator varies with the output frequency of each vibrator to maximize the cancellation of out-of-phase pressure waves along the array. A receiver, which usually includes a plurality of hydrophones disposed in a streamer, is spaced from the marine vibrators at a distance sufficient to establish the receiver as being in the far-field. The output of each of the marine vibrators is locked in phase and frequency with a known pilot signal so that downwardly propagating pressure waves are substantially unaffected. The overall effect is a narrowing of the radiation pattern of the pressure waves. The resulting radiation pattern effectively directs pressure waves downwardly toward an underwater land formation, and reduces horizontally propagating pressure waves which normally result in interference with marine seismic receivers.
