    Abstract: One or more wavegates are located on a seismic surface vessel to substantially prevent or limit waves from crashing onto a back deck of the vessel. The wavegate may comprise one or more steel gates or doors located at or near the aft portion of the vessel, such as on or near the rear end of the back deck, that may be moveable between a closed position and an open position. Each door may be fixed in position and/or be rotated and/or moveable in a horizontal and/or vertical direction between different positions. The wavegate allows the surface vessel to travel backwards and/or in the face of incoming waves while substantially preventing and/or limiting waves from crashing onto the back deck of the marine vessel. The seismic surface vessel may be a deployment vessel or a hybrid seismic shooting and deployment vessel or another marine surface vessel

    Abstract: A system, apparatus, and method for transferring a subsea payload (such as seismic nodes) at a subsea position by using an elevator system located on a subsea basket. A plurality of seismic nodes may be located on a plurality of support slides, trays, or other node holders at different levels within the basket. The elevator system is configured to move the seismic nodes between different heights within the basket for external transfer from one or more vertical positions. During transfer operations between a subsea basket and an underwater vehicle (e.g., ROV), the desired level of seismic nodes may be positioned to the desired vertical position within the basket and transferred to the ROV by various transfer mechanisms, such as an extendable stinger or chain drive. Multiple levels of seismic nodes (or node holders) may be transferred between the basket and ROV during a single subsea docking.

    Abstract: Embodiments, including systems and methods, for deploying ocean bottom seismic nodes. Two or more underwater vehicles (such as remotely operated vehicles (ROVs)) may be deployed by a surface vessel and each connected to the surface vessel by a ROV deployment line. A catenary shape of each ROV deployment line may be modeled for more accurate and efficient subsea ROV operations. Real-time modeling and predictive modeling of the catenary shape of the deployed lines may be performed, and the surface vessel and/or ROVs may be positioned based on the modeled catenary shapes. The ROVs may be automatically positioned and/or controlled based on commands from a dynamic positioning (DP) system. An integrated navigation system (INS) may be located on the surface vessel and directly coupled to the one or more DP systems. The surface vessel may travel backwards during deployment operations and deploy one or more subsea baskets astern from the ROVs.

    Abstract: Embodiments, including systems and methods, for modeling the catenary shape of one or more deployment lines from a marine vessel, each of which is connected to a subsea device. A subsea device may include ROVs or other underwater vehicles and subsea cages, baskets, and similar devices that may be lowered or raised from the surface vessel. The disclosed system and method provides real-time modeling and predictive modeling of the catenary shape of the deployed lines based on input from one or more real time navigation sensors, as well as inputted parameters or values such as length of deployed cable, etc. This allows the surface vessel and/or ROV operators to maximize the position and speed of the surface vessel, ROV, and other subsea devices, and overall seismic node deployment and recovery operations, within the operational constraints of the system without causing cable failure or entanglement of the deployed lines.

    Abstract: A high angle overboard system and method for the deployment of subsea equipment from a marine vessel are disclosed. An overboard guide system deploys a deployment line from a surface vessel into a body of water at an angle alpha. The angle alpha may be at least 15 degrees and may be greater than 20, 25, 30, 45, or even 60 degrees or more during some or all portions of the subsea operations. The overboard system may be located near the splashzone of the surface vessel or a distance beneath a water surface. The overboard system may take any number of configurations, such as a cone shape, and/or may comprise a plurality of rollers or one or more sheaves. The overboard system allows a subsea device to be operated at higher deployment angles as compared to prior art subsea operations, such as with A-frame LARS systems.
