An integrated seismic system and method for monitoring seismic parameters of a subsurface structure is provided. The integrated seismic system includes a base station; a plurality of mobile satellite nodes, each of the plurality of mobile satellite nodes having sensor stations for collecting seismic data from the subsurface structure; and a fiber optic cable extending from the base station to the plurality of mobile satellite nodes and operatively linking the plurality of mobile satellite nodes and the sensor stations; the base station comprising: a light source for sending a light through the fiber optic cable, the light being distributed to the sensor stations and, in the sensor stations, experiencing a change or phase shift related to a physical property being measured; and a seismic acquisition unit for receiving seismic signals from the plurality of mobile satellite nodes via the fiber optic cable and generating seismic parameters therefrom.
An integrated seismic system for monitoring seismic parameters of a subsurface structure, the integrated seismic system comprising:
A base station of a seismic system for monitoring seismic parameters of a subsurface structure, the seismic system comprising a plurality of mobile satellite nodes each having sensor stations, the base station being configure to be connected to the plurality of mobile satellite nodes by a fiber optic cable, the base station comprising:
A mobile satellite node of a seismic system for monitoring seismic parameters of a subsurface structure, the seismic system comprising a plurality of such mobile satellite nodes and a base station, the mobile satellite node being connected to the base station via a fiber optic cable, the mobile satellite node comprising:
