DOWNHOLE LOW RATE LINEAR REPEATER RELAY NETWORK TIMING SYSTEM AND METHOD
20170022805 · 2017-01-26 ·

A downhole repeater network timing system for a drilling rig including a drillstring extending subsurface downwardly from a surface wellhead. The system includes a node located at the drillstring lower end and including a sensor adapted for providing a signal data set output corresponding to downhole drilling conditions. Multiple nodes are located downhole between the Bottom Hole Assembly (BHA) and the wellhead and are associated with the drillstring. The nodes are adapted for receiving and transmitting the signals. The timing control system is adapted for controlling all times within a timeframe according to pre-configured constants known to all nodes. A downhole low rate linear repeater network timing method uses the system.

Systems and methods for enhancing data acquisition operations in seismic surveys

A sensor package may include a sensor housing unit and a first sensor that may acquire a first set of measurements within a first measurement range. The sensor package may also include a second sensor configured to acquire a second set of measurements within a second measurement range. The first measurement range and the second measurement range may include an overlapping range used to calibrate the first set of measurements, the second set of measurements, or both.

SURVEY DESIGN FOR MULTI-PURPOSE SEISMIC SOURCES

A method to perform a seismic survey using one or more source vessels includes enabling shooting from at least two seismic sources at pre-selected time intervals or pre-selected locations. The at least two seismic sources are on the one or more source vessels, and the at least two seismic sources include source technologies that differ from each other. The method also includes measuring wavefields received from the at least two seismic sources. The method also includes associating energy from the wavefields generated by each source with different seismic traces. The method also includes obtaining data from the different seismic traces that are equivalent to different datasets acquired in different surveys using the source technologies that differ from each other.
