The seabed (also known as the seafloor, sea floor, or ocean floor) is the bottom of the ocean.

Method and apparatus for deployment of ocean bottom seismometers

ActiveUS20060159524A1Effective movementEasy to deploySeismic signal receiversBuoysOcean bottom seismometerOrbit
A method and apparatus for deployment and retrieval of ocean bottom seismic receivers. In one embodiment, the apparatus comprises a carrier containing a plurality of receivers attached to a remotely operated vehicle (ROV). The carrier comprises a frame in which is mounted a structure for seating and releasing said receivers. The structure may comprise a movable carousel or a movable conveyor or fixed parallel rails or a barrel. In the case of the barrel, the receivers are axially stacked therein. The structure is disposed to deliver said receivers to a discharge port on said frame, where the receivers are removable from said carrier. The apparatus includes a discharge mechanism for removing said receivers from said carrier. In another embodiment, the method comprises the steps of loading a carrier with a plurality of receivers, attaching said carrier to an ROV, utilizing said ROV to transport the carrier from a surface vessel to a position adjacent the seabed and thereafter utilizing said ROV to remove receivers from said carrier and place the receivers on the seabed. In yet another embodiment, an ROV adjacent the seabed engages a deployment line extending from the vessel. The deployment line is used to guide receivers attached thereto down to the ROV for “on-time” delivery and placement on the seabed.

Coding and Decoding: Seismic Data Modeling, Acquisition and Processing

A method for coding and decoding seismic data acquired, based on the concept of multishooting, is disclosed. In this concept, waves generated simultaneously from several locations at the surface of the earth, near the sea surface, at the sea floor, or inside a borehole propagate in the subsurface before being recorded at sensor locations as mixtures of various signals. The coding and decoding method for seismic data described here works with both instantaneous mixtures and convolutive mixtures. Furthermore, the mixtures can be underdetemined [i.e., the number of mixtures (K) is smaller than the number of seismic sources (I) associated with a multishot] or determined [i.e., the number of mixtures is equal to or greater than the number of sources). When mixtures are determined, we can reorganize our seismic data as zero-mean random variables and use the independent component analysis (ICA) or, alternatively, the principal component analysis (PCA) to decode. We can also alternatively take advantage of the sparsity of seismic data in our decoding process. When mixtures are underdetermined and the number of mixtures is at least two, we utilize higher-order statistics to overcome the underdeterminacy. Alternatively, we can use the constraint that seismic data are sparse to overcome the underdeterminacy. When mixtures are underdetermined and limited to single mixtures, we use a priori knowledge about seismic acquisition to computationally generate additional mixtures from the actual recorded mixtures. Then we organize our data as zero-mean random variables and use ICA or PCA to decode the data. The a priori knowledge includes source encoding, seismic acquisition geometries, and reference data collected for the purpose of aiding the decoding processing.
The coding and decoding processes described can be used to acquire and process real seismic data in the field or in laboratories, and to model and process synthetic data.

Offshore renewable energy source comprehensive power generating system

The invention relates to an offshore renewable energy source comprehensive power generating system, belonging to the technical field of renewable energy source power generation. The comprehensive power generating system comprises a single pile structure (1), three power generating devices and an electrical connecting circuit. The three power generating devices comprise a wind power generating device, a wave energy power generating device and a tidal energy power generating device which are respectively connected with a direct-current bus (19) in the comprehensive power generating system in parallel by three direct-drive permanent magnet generators (3-1, 3-2, 3-3) and three rectifiers (16-1, 16-2, 16-3), and connected to a reverser (21) on the bank by a seabed cable (20), and finally merged in a power grid by a boosting transformer (22). The offshore renewable energy source comprehensive power generating system can integrate the offshore wind energy power generation, wave energy power generation and tidal energy power generation to an organic combined body, and realizes the compatibility of various power generating devices and the credible connection of various power generating devices with the power grid by the electrical connecting system.
