Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of earthquake detection, in particular to a earthquake acquisition system. Background Art
[0002] Offshore two-dimensional towed seismic exploration is one of the important means of detecting marine seabed resources, seabed engineering and disasters. Generally speaking, the seismic exploration system is carried on the exploration mother ship, mainly including the source cable, receiving cable (detector), signal acquisition unit, navigation and positioning system, etc. The minimum track spacing is 3.125 meters. The cable seismic tow cable uses a piezoelectric detector with a diameter of about 50mm, which has high requirements for the exploration mother ship (large tonnage, wide rear deck, etc.).
[0003] At present, with the continuous development of my country's marine economy, marine oil and gas surveys have become more detailed, and nearshore engineering exploration and marine disaster investigations have continued to deepen. The existing equipment can no longer meet the demand, especially nearshore shallow water surveys, which usually use single-channel seismic and shallow profiling (both with one detector), and the accuracy of stratum imaging is relatively low, which greatly limits the demand for detailed nearshore investigations. Utility Model Content
[0004] The utility model provides a seismic acquisition system to solve the problem that in the past, seismic exploration had high requirements on the acquisition mother ship and could not be applied to fine geological survey of near-shore shallow water.
[0005] According to one aspect of the utility model, there is provided a seismic acquisition system, the system comprising at least an umbilical cable, an automatic ship identification system, a strobe light, a seismic source, a cable winch, and a distributed optical fiber streamer;
[0006] Among them, the umbilical cable connects the acquisition mother ship and the towing body; the ship automatic identification system and the strobe light are installed above the towing body; the seismic source is installed below the towing body; the cable winch is used to be installed above the towing body; the cable winch is connected to the distributed optical fiber tow cable; the mother ship is used to connect the towing body through the umbilical cable and supply power to the towing body; the towing body is used to carry the seismic source, the strobe light, the ship automatic identification system and the cable winch.
[0007] The technical solution of the embodiment of the utility model can integrate the seismic source, distributed optical fiber towline and cable winch into one towed body, so as to realize modularization of the whole acquisition system and enable rapid deployment. It has the characteristics of integrated seismic detection and small portability, has low requirements on the acquisition mother ship, and can realize the characteristics of low acquisition cost and ultra-shallow operating water depth.

[0013] The umbilical cable is mainly used to connect the mother ship and the entire towed body. Its length can be retracted and extended according to exploration needs. The inner core is composed of Kevlar rope as the central structure to provide tensile strength; there are multi-core optical fibers around it to provide seismic towed cable data transmission, and multi-core wires to power the seismic source / control the excitation and cable winch power supply / retraction and control, etc. The air pipe connects the air compressor of the mother ship and the seismic source on the towed body to supply air to the seismic source.
