Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To remotely monitor and make controllable the seismic data acquisition by connecting a central command center supplying user interface to a local device connected to a remote device for seismic data acquisition and transmission. SOLUTION: In the monitoring system 430, a telephone system 702 is connected to PSTN 425 at an arbitrary number of commercial interfaces, a video meeting system 706 is connected to an interface 704 provided with an NT-1 adapter and the interface 704 is connected to an ISDN 420. Then, the ISDN router 708 connected with the ISDN 420 converts input data into IO base-T to send to a data analyzer 710. By constituting the monitoring system 430 in this manner and containing a plurality of local devices and remote location in a network, since the acquisition of seismic data at a plurality of remote locations can be administered in a plurality of command administration centers, the man power and time necessary for the administration can be reduced.
Abstract:
A seismic data acquisition apparatus having a recorder co-located with a sensor unit in a seismic spread and a communication device for direct communication with a central recorder. A memory located in the recorder and/or in the central controller holds location parameters associated with the sensor unit, and the parameters can be updated. Method of seismic data acquisition including sensing seismic energy and recording the sensed energy at the sensor location. Delivering the recorded information to a central recorder by manually retrieving removable memory from each recorder, by wireless transmission of the information, or by removing the information from each recorder by inductive or cable connectors and a transfer device.

Abstract:
The present invention provides a method and apparatus of acquiring and processing seismic data. One or more controllers (106) are each coupled to seismic sensors (108) and to each other to form a network of data acquisition units. A main controller (102) is coupled to a crossline unit (104) via a cable (112) comprising a synchronizing conductor and one or more power/data conductors. Commands and data are packaged such that multiple routings are possible without affecting final calculations. Each crossline unit is capable of accepting a fiber optic input, a wire input or a combination.
Abstract:
A system for remotely controlling and monitoring the acquisition of seismic data. The system includes remote equipment for collecting seismic data and for transmitting and receiving communication signals to and from a remote location. The system also includes local equipment for transmitting and receiving communication signals to and from the remote location. In this manner, the collection of seismic data at remote locations can be controlled and monitored locally.
