Apparatus And Method For Reducing Noise In Seismic Data
view source
US Patent:

8077740, Dec 13, 2011
Filed:

Jan 31, 2008
Appl. No.:

12/023725
Inventors:

Keith Elder - Richmond TX, US
Steven Kooper - Stafford TX, US
Andras Feszthammer - Stafford TX, US
Donald E. Clayton - Houston TX, US
Henry T. Polk - Houston TX, US
Assignee:

INOVA, Ltd. - George Town, Grand Cayman
International Classification:

H04J 3/16
US Classification:

370468
Abstract:

A method of acquiring seismic data. The method includes receiving seismic signals at one or more sensors; sampling the received seismic signals into a plurality of samples, each sample having a same bit length; arranging the samples into a plurality of packets; compressing the plurality of packets by varying a time interval between transmissions of at least some of the packets; and transmitting the compressed packets.

Synchronization Of Modules In A Wireless Array

US Patent:

8228757, Jul 24, 2012
Filed:

Dec 31, 2009
Appl. No.:

12/651091
Inventors:

Mihai Beffa - Cupertino CA, US
Calvin Day - Lake Jackson TX, US
Kevin Rose - Santa Fe TX, US
Steven Kooper - Richmond TX, US
Keith Elder - Richmond TX, US
Assignee:

Wireless Seismic, Inc. - Louisville CO
International Classification:

G01V 1/00
US Classification:

367 50, 367 55
Abstract:

Presented are systems and methods for wireless data acquisition. The wireless data acquisition may involve synchronizing modules within a data acquisition array. The synchronized data acquisition array may be used to facilitate a seismic survey. Synchronization may be facilitated by receipt of a reference time event such that a clock is synchronized based on the reference time event.

US Patent:

8238199, Aug 7, 2012
Filed:

Dec 30, 2010
Appl. No.:

12/982416
Inventors:

Keith Elder - Richmond TX, US
Steven Kooper - Richmond TX, US
Kevin Rose - Santa Fe TX, US
Calvin Day - Lake Jackson TX, US
David Elam - Richmond TX, US
Kip Ingram - Katy TX, US
Douglas B. Crice - Grass Valley CA, US
Assignee:

Wireless Seismic, Inc. - Louisville CO
International Classification:

G01V 1/00
US Classification:

367 80, 367 76
Abstract:

Systems and methods for seismic data acquisition employing a dynamic multiplexing technique. The dynamic multiplexing technique may include advancing one or more modules in a seismic array through a multiplexing signature sequence in successive transmission periods. The multiplexing signature sequence may be random or pseudo-random. A shared multiplexing signature sequence may be used at all the modules in the seismic array. As such, modules belonging to a common collision domain may operate out of phase with respect to the shared multiplexing signature sequence.

US Patent:

8614928, Dec 24, 2013
Filed:

Dec 31, 2009
Appl. No.:

12/651125
Inventors:

Steven Kooper - Richmond TX, US
Kaim Elder - Richmond TX, US
Assignee:

Wireless Seismic, Inc. - Louisville CO
International Classification:

G01V 1/16
US Classification:

367 37, 700302, 702 14
Abstract:

Presented are systems and methods for deploying wireless data acquisition modules that facilitate autonomous initialization. The wireless data acquisition modules may initiate a initialization process in response to a stimulus associated with being deployed. The wireless data acquisition module may further conduct a neighbor discovery process and in turn establish a data transfer path among one or more other wireless data acquisition modules. Further, information obtained during a series of autonomous tests may be communicated during the neighbor discovery process and the establishment of the data transfer path may at least in part be based on the information obtained in the autonomous tests.

US Patent:

20080186806, Aug 7, 2008
Filed:

Jan 31, 2008
Appl. No.:

12/023556
Inventors:

Keith Elder - Richmond TX, US
Steven Kooper - Stafford TX, US
Andras Feszthammer - Stafford TX, US
Donald E. Clayton - Houston TX, US
Henry T. Polk - Houston TX, US
Assignee:

ION GEOPHYSICAL CORPORATION - Houston TX
International Classification:

G01V 1/22
US Classification:

367 79, 367 76
Abstract:

A seismic data acquisition method is provided that includes receiving seismic signals at a sensor; sampling the received seismic signals into a plurality of samples, each sample having a selected number of bits (“bit length”); arranging the samples in packets, wherein some of the packets include one or more compressed samples; and transmitting the packet to a remote unit.

US Patent:

20120082003, Apr 5, 2012
Filed:

Dec 13, 2011
Appl. No.:

13/324562
Inventors:

Keith Elder - Richmond TX, US
Steven Kooper - Stafford TX, US
Andras Feszthammer - Stafford TX, US

Assignee:

INOVA, Ltd. - Georgetown
International Classification:

G01V 1/22
US Classification:

367 79
Abstract:

A method of acquiring seismic data. The method includes receiving seismic signals at one or more sensors; sampling the received seismic signals into a plurality of samples, compressing at least some of the samples in selected packets before arranging the compressed samples into packets; arranging the samples into a plurality of packets; computing packet efficiency for a packet of the plurality of packets; transmitting the plurality of packets by varying time intervals between transmissions of the packets.
