Abstract: The present invention relates to streamer cables. One embodiment of the present invention relates to a method for preparing a streamer cable. The method may comprise retrofitting the streamer cable with a solid void-filler material, where the streamer cable was configured as a liquid-filled streamer cable. The retrofitting may comprise introducing a void-filler material into the streamer cable when the void-filler material is in a liquid state and curing or otherwise solidifying the void-filler material to a solid state. In another embodiment, the present invention relates to a streamer cable comprising an outer skin and-at least one sensor positioned within the outer skin. The streamer cable may also comprise a solid void-filler material positioned between the outer skin and the at least one sensor, wherein the solid void-filler material is coupled to the at least one sensor.

Abstract translation: 本发明涉及拖缆电缆。 本发明的一个实施例涉及一种制造拖缆的方法。 该方法可以包括用固体空隙填充材料改装流光缆，其中流光缆被配置为充满液体的流光缆。 当空隙填充材料处于液态并固化或以其它方式将空隙填料材料固化成固态时，改造可包括将空隙填料材料引入流光缆。 在另一个实施例中，本发明涉及一种流光缆，其包括位于外皮内的外皮和至少一个传感器。 拖缆电缆还可以包括定位在外皮和至少一个传感器之间的固体空隙填充材料，其中固体空隙填充材料连接到至少一个传感器。
