Abstract
Discloses herein is a system of acquiring seismic date in a marine environment, which includes: seismic streamers towed by a vessel; and means for detecting and/or locating marine mammals, characterised in that said marine mammal detection and/or location means are secured to said seismic streamers.
Claims21
A seismic acquisition system comprising:
- a streamer;
- a seismic source;
- plural seismic sensors distributed along the streamer and configured to record seismic data representative of a subsurface illuminated by acoustic waves generated by the seismic source;
- passive mammal monitoring sensors distributed along the streamer and configured to record mammal related data associated with a marine mammal;
- a communication cable for transmitting the seismic data and the mammal related data;
- and
- a control device connected to the communication cable and configured to receive the seismic and mammal related data and to determine a presence of the marine mammal based on the mammal related data.
4 more elements
A seismic acquisition system comprising:
- a streamer;
- a seismic source;
- plural sensors distributed along the streamer and configured to record seismic data representative of a subsurface illuminated by acoustic waves generated by the seismic source and also configured to record mammal related data associated with a marine mammal;
- a communication cable for transmitting the seismic data and the mammal related data;
- and
- a control device connected to the communication cable and configured to receive the seismic and mammal related data and to determine a presence of the marine mammal based on the mammal related data.
3 more elements
A streamer system comprising:
- plural seismic sensors distributed along a streamer and configured to record seismic data representative of a subsurface illuminated by acoustic waves generated by a seismic source and also configured to record mammal related data associated with a marine mammal;
- a communication cable extending through the streamer and configured to transmit the seismic data and the mammal related data;
- and
- a control device connected to the communication cable and configured to receive the seismic and mammal related data and to determine a presence of the marine mammal based on the mammal related data.
