Marine Seismic Streamer Having Soluble Encapsulant Surrounding Seismic Sensors Therein

View page
US Patent:
7460434, Dec 2, 2008
Filed:
Jun 22, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/472974
Inventors:
Andre Stenzel - Richmond TX, US
Bruce William Harrick - Sugar Land TX, US
Assignee:
PGS Geophysical AS - Lysaker
International Classification:
G01V 1/36
US Classification:
367 20, 367 15, 367153, 367154
Abstract:
A seismic streamer includes a jacket covering an exterior of the streamer. At least one strength member extends along the length of the streamer and is disposed inside the jacket. At least one seismic sensor is disposed in a sensor spacer affixed to the at least one strength member. An encapsulant is disposed between the sensor and the sensor spacer. The encapsulant is a substantially solid material that is soluble upon contact with a void filling material. A void filling material is disposed in the interior of the jacket and fills substantially all void space therein. The void filling material is introduced to the interior of the jacket in liquid form and undergoing state change to substantially solid thereafter.

US Patent:
20070258320, Nov 8, 2007
Filed:
May 8, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/429807
Inventors:
Bruce Harrick - Sugar Land TX, US
Andre Stenzel - Richmond TX, US
Troy McKey - LaPlace LA, US
Stig Tenghamn - Katy TX, US
International Classification:
G01V 1/38
US Classification:
367020000
Abstract:
A seismic streamer includes a jacket covering an exterior of the streamer. At least one strength member extends along the length of the jacket, and is disposed inside the jacket.
