    摘要: A freely-combinable multifunctional ocean-bottom seismic detection device includes a cabin body having a sealed structure and is made of a titanium alloy. A hydrophone, a first power interface, and a signal transmission sealing connector are mounted on an upper flange. A digital collector, a broadband seismometer, a global positioning system (GPS), and an electronic compass are mounted in the cabin body. The broadband seismometer is mounted on a leveling mechanism. Rechargeable lithium batteries are mounted in sealed battery compartments. A settlement coupling frame is arranged below the cabin body and is detachably connected to the cabin body. An uncoupling mechanism is mounted at a top of the cabin body. The device has a synchronous arrangement function of deployment as an independent node with data stored inside the instrument, and quick integration into a seabed foundation (or a subsurface buoy) with real-time data transmission.

    摘要: A system to detect and control noise in seismic surveys is provided. The system receives, responsive to a seismic wave generated by a source, seismic data detected by a sensor component of a seismic data acquisition unit. The system generates, for windows of the seismic data, Hough tensors for seismic data transforms in multiple dimensions. The system detects, based on a comparison of an eigenvector and eigenvalue of a canonical matrix of the Hough tensors with a historical eigenvector and eigenvalue of a historical canonical matrix of historical Hough tensors of historical seismic data, a first presence of noise in the seismic data. The first presence of noise can correspond to a noisy spectra pattern in a seismic data transform of the seismic data. The system provides, responsive to detection of the first presence of noise in the seismic data, a notification to adjust a characteristic of the seismic survey.

    摘要: A method for verticalizing recorded seismic data, the method including recording first data with a particle motion sensor, wherein the particle motion sensor is located on a streamer, and the particle motion sensor is configured to be insensitive to a direct current, recording second data with a gravity motion sensor, wherein the gravity motion sensor is also located on the stream, and the gravity motion sensor is configured to be sensitive to the direct current and temporally synchronous to the particle motion sensor, selecting a cost function that associates corresponding values of the first data and the second data, determining a misalignment angle from maximizing the cost function, wherein the misalignment angle describes a misalignment between corresponding axes of the particle motion sensor and the gravity motion sensor, and correcting seismic data recorded by the particle motion sensor based on the misalignment angle so that the corrected seismic data is verticalized with regard to gravity.

    摘要: A hydrophone array tool as described herein is configured to locate leakages throughout a borehole with improved accuracy using acoustic beamforming techniques with acoustic velocity estimation. An acoustic beamforming processor generates an initial beamforming map and corresponding initial estimated leakage location using acoustic measurements throughout the borehole. The acoustic beamforming processor generates additional beamforming maps at the initial estimated leakage location, each additional beamforming map corresponding to an acoustic velocity within a range of anticipated acoustic velocities. An acoustic velocity estimator determines an acoustic velocity corresponding to a beamforming map with spatial statistics that indicate a most prominent leakage location. The acoustic beamforming processor updates the leakage location according to this beamforming map for improved accuracy.

    摘要: Systems, apparatuses, and method of measuring hydrophone impedance are provided herein. A sensor can convert an acoustic wave received via a liquid medium into an electric signal. A signal encoder can be coupled with the sensor to receive the electric signal. A test signal generator can be coupled in series with the sensor and the signal encoder and can generate a test signal. The test signal can measure an impedance of the sensor. A switch component can be coupled in series with the sensor, the signal encoder, and the test signal generator. The switch component can route the test signal to a first terminal of the sensor and through a second terminal of sensor during a first operational state. The switch component can route the test signal to the second terminal of the sensor and through the first terminal of sensor during a second operational state.

    摘要: A seismic survey system for recording seismic data underwater in the presence of underwater currents. The system includes first plural buoys configured to descend in water at a predetermined depth (H1) and each having a seismic receiver for recording the seismic data; a first vessel configured to launch the first plural buoys along a first line; and a second vessel configured to recover the first plural buoys at a second line, wherein there is a predetermined distance between the first and second lines. The first plural buoys are configured to travel underwater, at substantially the first predetermined depth (H1), from the first line to the second line, due exclusively to the underwater currents.
