Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of marine geophysical exploration technology, and in particular relates to an integrated towed multi-source fusion broadband seismic source system for marine applications. Background Technology

[0002] Marine seismic exploration is a key technology for obtaining information on seabed geological structures. Currently, the mainstream seismic source in this field is the air gun, which has the advantages of high energy and deep penetration. However, its excitation signal spectrum is mainly concentrated below 200 Hz, with a severe lack of high-frequency components, making it difficult to meet the requirements for high-resolution imaging of shallow seabed strata. To obtain higher frequency signals, electric spark or Boomer seismic sources are also used in practice. Although these sources can provide higher frequency components, their low-frequency energy is weak, their effective bandwidth is narrow, and their excitation stability and repeatability are poor. Therefore, existing single-type seismic sources have limitations in their physical principles, and cannot provide balanced and sufficient energy in a wide frequency range from 100 Hz to 10,000 Hz, making it difficult to simultaneously achieve the dual technical goals of "deep penetration" and "high resolution" in exploration operations.

[0003] With the deepening of marine resource development and underwater engineering construction, the demand for detailed detection of shallow seabed structures is increasing. For example, the precise detection of geological targets such as buried pipelines, landslides, and shallow gas requires seismic sources that can provide stable signals with wider frequency band coverage, especially those containing effective high-frequency components in the thousands of hertz. To broaden the frequency band, existing technologies attempt to combine seismic sources based on different principles, i.e., multi-source seismic exploration. However, traditional combination methods typically deploy low-frequency, mid-frequency, and high-frequency seismic sources as independent devices, such as by towing different towed bodies or performing hoisting operations. This discrete operation mode has a series of inherent drawbacks in practical marine applications. First, the relative spatial positions of the seismic sources cannot be fixed. As the exploration vessel navigates and ocean currents influence the data, the towed bodies or hoisting points of each source will oscillate relative to each other. This causes the interference and synthesis waveforms of the excited sound waves to constantly change when superimposed in the far field, severely damaging the consistency and repeatability of seismic data and posing significant difficulties for subsequent data processing and interpretation. Secondly, this model requires each seismic source to be independently equipped with tow cables, control systems, and shipboard deck support equipment, making the deployment and retrieval operations cumbersome and complex, significantly increasing operation time and labor costs, and reducing overall exploration efficiency. Finally, multiple independent cables and control systems also result in complex and bulky shipboard equipment, leading to high purchase and maintenance costs. These engineering challenges arising from the physical deployment method have long hindered the large-scale practical application of broadband multi-source fusion exploration technology. Therefore, the industry urgently needs a new integrated solution that can fundamentally ensure the relative stability of multiple seismic sources and significantly simplify the operation process.

[0066] Specifically, it includes:

[0067] A streamlined, integrated towing hull, internally incorporating:

[0068] 1. Low-frequency source unit:

[0069] Type: Electromagnetic exciter.

An offshore integrated towed multi-source fusion wideband seismic source system, characterized in that, The system for implementing the method of any one of claims 1-6 comprises: an integrated towed cabin body module internally integrated with a low-frequency electromagnetic excitation unit, a medium-frequency electric spark unit and a high-frequency piezoelectric ceramic array unit; a mother ship interface and towed module connecting the integrated towed cabin body module and the mother ship through a single armored tow cable for providing power and establishing data communication; a posture sensing and synchronous control module arranged inside the integrated towed cabin body module for acquiring towing posture data in real time and synchronously driving the low-frequency electromagnetic excitation unit, the medium-frequency electric spark unit and the high-frequency piezoelectric ceramic array unit to work based on the posture data. The sound wave radiation fusion module is composed of a plurality of acoustic channels arranged on the surface of the integrated towed cabin module, and is used for radiating different frequency band sound waves generated by each unit to water to form a wide band composite seismic wave signal in a far field.

8. A computer terminal device, characterized by The method comprises the steps of: one or more processors; a memory coupled to the processors, for storing one or more programs; when the one or more programs are executed by the one or more processors, the one or more processors implement the steps of the method as claimed in any one of claims 1-6.

9. A computer readable storage medium having stored thereon a computer program, characterized in that, The computer program is executed by the processor to implement the steps of the method as claimed in any one of claims 1-6.

10. A computer program product comprising a computer program, characterized in that, The computer program is executed by the processor to implement the steps of the method as claimed in any one of claims 1-6.
