1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates generally to the field of marine seismic survey apparatus and methods. More specifically, the invention relates to structures for marine seismic streamers that have reduced noise induced by effects of towing such streamers in the water.
2. Background Art
In a marine seismic survey, a seismic vessel travels on the surface of a body of water such as a lake or the ocean. The seismic vessel typically contains seismic acquisition control equipment, which includes devices such as navigation control, seismic source control, seismic sensor control, and signal recording devices. The seismic acquisition control equipment causes a seismic source towed in the body of water, by the seismic vessel or another vessel, to actuate at selected times. The seismic source may be any type well known in the art of seismic acquisition, including air guns or water guns, or most commonly, arrays of air guns. Seismic streamers, also called seismic cables, are elongate cable-like structures that are towed in the body of water by the seismic survey vessel or by another vessel. Typically, a plurality of seismic streamers is towed behind the seismic vessel laterally spaced apart from each other. The seismic streamers contain sensors to detect the seismic wavefields initiated by the seismic source and reflected from acoustic impedance boundaries in the subsurface Earth formations below the water bottom.
Conventionally, seismic streamers contain pressure-responsive sensors such as hydrophones, but seismic streamers have also been proposed that contain particle motion sensors, such as geophones, in addition to hydrophones. The sensors are typically located at regular intervals along the length of seismic streamers.
Seismic streamers also include electronic components, electrical wiring and may include other types of sensors. Seismic streamers are typically assembled from sections, each section being approximately 75 meters in length. A number of such sections are joined end to end, and can extend the assembled streamer to a total length of many thousands of meters. Position control devices, such as depth controllers, paravanes, and tail buoys are affixed to the streamer at selected positions and are used to regulate and monitor the movement of the streamer in the water. During operation, the seismic sources and streamers are typically submerged at a selected depth in the water. The seismic sources are typically operated at a depth of 5-15 meters below the water surface and the seismic streamers are typically operated at a depth of 5-40 meters.
A typical streamer section consists of an external jacket, connectors, spacers, and strength members. The external jacket is formed from a flexible, acoustically transparent material such as polyurethane and protects the interior of the streamer section from water intrusion. The connectors are disposed at the ends of each streamer section and link the section mechanically, electrically and/or optically to adjacent streamer sections and, therefore, ultimately link it to the seismic towing vessel. There is at least one, and are usually two or more such strength members in each streamer section that extend the length of each streamer section from one end connector to the other. The strength members provide the streamer section with the capability to carry axial mechanical load. A wire bundle also extends the length of each streamer section, and can contain electrical power conductors and electrical data communication wires. In some instances, optical fibers for signal communication are included in the wire bundle. Hydrophones or groups of hydrophones are located within the streamer section. The hydrophones have sometimes been located within corresponding spacers for protection. The distance between spacers is ordinarily about 0.7 meters. A hydrophone group, typically comprising 16 hydrophones, thus extends for a length of about 12.5 meters.
The interior of the seismic streamers is filled with a void filling material to provide buoyancy and desired acoustic properties. Most seismic streamers have been filled with a liquid core material, such as oil or kerosene. Such liquid-filled streamer design is well proven and has been used in the industry for a long time. However, there are disadvantages associated with using liquid as a core fill material. The first disadvantage is leakage of the liquid into the surrounding water in the event a streamer section is damaged. Such leakage self-evidently presents a serious environmental problem. Damage can occur while the streamer is being towed through the water or it can occur while the streamer is being deployed from or retrieved onto a streamer winch on which streamers are typically stored on the seismic vessel.
A second disadvantage to using liquid-filled streamer sections is noise induced in the hydrophones generated by vibrations as the streamer is towed through the water. Such vibrations develop internal pressure waves that travel through the liquid in the streamer sections, such waves often referred to as "bulge waves" or "breathing waves." The foregoing noise is described, for example, in S. P. Beerens et al., Flow Noise Analysis of Towed Sonar Arrays, UDT 99—Conference Proceedings Undersea Defense Technology, Jun. 29-Jul. 1, 1999, Nice, France, Nexus Media Limited, Swanley, Kent.
Ideally, in a streamer moving at constant speed, all the streamer components including the jacket, the connectors, the spacers, the strength members, wire bundle, sensors and liquid void filling material all move at the same constant speed and do not move relative to each other. Under actual movement conditions, however, transient motion of the streamers takes place, such transient motion being caused by events such as pitching and heaving of the seismic vessel, movement of the paravanes and tail buoys attached to the streamers, strumming of the towing cables attached to the streamers caused by vortex shedding on the cables, and operation of depth-control devices located on the streamers. Any of the foregoing types of transient motion can cause transient motion (stretching) of the strength members.
Transient motion of the strength members displaces the spacers or connectors, causing pressure fluctuations in the liquid void filling material that are detected by the hydrophones. Pressure fluctuations radiating away from the spacers or connectors also cause the flexible outer jacket to compress in and bulge out in the form of a traveling wave, giving the phenomenon "bulge waves" its name.
In addition, there are other types of noise, often called "flow noise", which can affect the quality of the seismic signal detected by the hydrophones. For example, vibrations of the seismic streamer can cause extensional waves in the outer jacket and resonance transients traveling down the strength members. A turbulent boundary layer created around the outer jacket of the streamer by the act of towing the streamer can also cause pressure fluctuations in the liquid core-filling material. In liquid filled streamer sections, the extensional waves, resonance transients, and turbulence-induced noise are typically much smaller in amplitude than the bulge waves, however they do exist and affect the quality of the seismic signals detected by the hydrophones. Bulge waves are usually the largest source of vibration noise because these waves travel in the liquid core material filling the streamer sections and thus act directly on the hydrophones.
Several concepts have been proposed to reduce such noise in steamer sections. For example, it is known in the art to introduce compartment blocks in liquid-filled streamer sections to stop bulge waves from traveling continuously along the entire length of the streamer. It is also known in the art to introduce open cell foam into the interior of the streamer section. The open cell foam restricts the flow of the liquid void filling material in response to transient-motion induced pressure changes and causes the energy to be dissipated into the outer jacket and the foam over a shorter axial distance. Another approach known in the art to address such noise is to combine several hydrophones into a series-connected group to attenuate the effects of a slow moving wave on the detected seismic signal. Typically, such approach is implemented by positioning an equal number of series connected hydrophones between or on both sides of selected spacers so that pairs of hydrophones sense equal and opposite pressure changes. Summing the hydrophone signals from such a group can then substantially cancel such noise.
Another approach to eliminating bulge waves is to eliminate the liquid from the interior of streamer sections, so that no medium exists in which bulge waves can develop. This approach is exemplified by the use of so-called solid streamers, using streamer sections filled with a solid core material. However, in any type of solid material, some shear waves will develop, which can increase the noise detected by the hydrophones. Shear waves cannot develop in liquid filled streamers because liquids have no shear modulus. Additionally, many conventional solid core materials are not acoustically transparent to the pressure waves that the hydrophones are intended to detect.
Another approach to the noise problem is to replace the liquid core material in a streamer section with a soft, flexible solid core material, such as gel. The introduction of a softer, flexible solid material may block the development of bulge waves compared to a liquid core material. A soft, flexible solid material may also attenuate the transmission of shear waves as compared to a harder material. However, there can still be a substantial transmission of shear waves through such soft, flexible solid material.
Using a soft, flexible material will eliminate a substantial portion of the problem with "bulge waves", but the so-called Poisson effect from the strength members can increase. Because of the relatively high tensile stiffness of the strength members, transients generally travel along the strength members at velocities near to or greater than that of the sound velocity in water, such velocities typically in the range of 1000 to 1500 meters per second. The actual velocity of transients along the strength members depends mainly on the elastic modulus of the strength member material and the tension applied to the streamer as it is towed in the water. The lower the elastic modulus the more compliant the streamer will be, and thus the more transient energy it will dissipate as heat and the less will pass through the strength member. Special elastic sections are normally placed at either end of a streamer cable to reduce the effects of transients.
A streamer traveling through the water may be considered to have an inertial mass represented by M that is subject to viscous damping represented by c. If the spring constant of the elastic sections is k, then the simplified transfer function of the elastic sections can be derived by solving the equation of motion as:
where ωn=√(k/M), and δ=c/2ωn This transfer function has the form of a mechanical high-cut filter above the resonant frequency of ω=ωn. The elastic modulus of any type of section also determines the transient wave velocity. The transient wave velocity may be represented by the expression:
C=√{square root over (E/M)} (2)
where C is the velocity that a transient will travel in the stress member, E is the elastic modulus, and M is the mass per unit length. For any particular stress member material, the stiffness will normally increase with strength more than the mass per unit length and the velocity will also increase. Knowledge of this velocity may be useful in formulating the design of the streamer hydrophone array for noise rejection.
A related property is the mechanical impedance. The impedance, Z, may be determined by the expression:
Z=√{square root over (E*M)} (3)
Changes in the impedance may affect the relative degree of propagation and reflection of transient waves along the streamer.
There is still a need to further improve the attenuation of longitudinal waves transmitted through the strength members of marine seismic streamers.
One aspect of the invention is a seismic streamer. A seismic streamer according to this aspect of the invention includes a jacket covering an exterior of the streamer. At least one strength member extends along the length of the jacket. The strength member is disposed inside the jacket. At least one seismic sensor is disposed in an interior of the jacket. An acoustically transparent material fills void space in the interior of the jacket. At least one longitudinally compressible element is disposed at a selected position along the streamer. The element fills substantially all void space within a cross-section of the interior of the jacket to separate the material into two adjacent compartments, thus attenuating transmission of acoustic waves in the material across the element.
Other aspects and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following description and the appended claims.
During operation, certain equipment (not shown separately) in the recording system 16 causes the source 18 to actuate at selected times. When actuated, the source 18 produces seismic energy 19 that emanates generally outwardly from the source 18. The energy 19 travels downwardly, through the water 12, and passes, at least in part, through the water bottom 20 into the formations 21, 23 below. Seismic energy 19 is at least partially reflected from one or more acoustic impedance boundaries 22 below the water bottom 20, and travels upwardly whereupon it may be detected by the sensors in each sensor element 24. Structure of the formations 21, 23, among other properties of the Earth's subsurface, can be inferred by travel time of the energy 19 and by characteristics of the detected energy such as its amplitude and phase.
Having explained the general method of operation of a marine seismic streamer, an example embodiment of a streamer according to the invention will be explained with reference to
The streamer segment 10A in the present embodiment may be about 75 meters overall length. A streamer such as shown at 10 in
The segment 10A can include a number of buoyancy spacers 32 disposed in the jacket 30 and coupled to the strength members 42 at spaced apart locations along their length. The buoyancy spacers 32 may be made from foamed polyurethane or other suitable, selected density material. The buoyancy spacers 32 have a density selected to provide the segment 10A preferably with approximately the same overall density as the water (12 in
The segment 10A includes a generally centrally located conductor cable 40 which can include a plurality of insulated electrical conductors (not shown separately), and may include one or more optical fibers (not shown). The cable 40 conducts electrical and/or optical signals from the sensors (which will be further explained below with reference to
Sensors, which in the present embodiment may be hydrophones, can be disposed inside sensor spacers, shown in
At selected positions along the streamer (10 in
In the present embodiment, the interior space of the jacket 30 may be filled with a material 46 such as "BVF" (Buoyancy Void Filler), which may be a curable, synthetic urethane-based polymer. The BVF 46 serves to exclude fluid (water) from the interior of the jacket 30, to electrically insulate the various components inside the jacket 30, to add buoyancy to a streamer section and to transmit seismic energy freely through the jacket 30 to the sensors 34. The BVF 46 in its uncured state is essentially in liquid form. Upon cure, the BVF 46 no longer flows as a liquid, but instead becomes substantially solid. However, the BVF 46 upon cure retains some flexibility to bending stress, substantial elasticity, and freely transmits seismic energy to the sensors 34. It should be understood that the BVF used in the present embodiment only is one example of a gel-like substance that can be used to fill the interior of the streamer. Other materials could be also used. For example, heating a selected substance, such as a thermoplastic, above its melting point, and introducing the melted plastic into the interior of the jacket 30, and subsequent cooling, may also be used in a streamer according to the invention. Oil or similar material may also be used to fill the interior of the streamer.
The sensor spacers 34, as explained in the Background section herein, are typically molded from a rigid, dense plastic to better protect the seismic sensors therein from damage during handling and use. While effective in reducing incidence of damage to the seismic sensors, the rigid plastic used in the sensor spacers 34 also efficiently couples noise from the strength members 42 to the seismic sensor therein. Also as explained in the Background section herein, one source of noise is the Poisson Effect, wherein stretching of the strength members 42 under axial tension causes them to undergo a reduction in diameter. When the axial tension is reduced on the strength members 42, they increase diameter. The strength members 42 are typically tightly fit in, and adhesively bonded to through passages (52 in
One embodiment of a streamer section according to the invention is shown in cut away view in
In another embodiment, shown in
Referring to
An example structure for a longitudinally compressible element having the foregoing mechanical properties will be explained with reference to a cross-sectional view thereof in
A streamer made as described herein may provide substantially reduced effect of "v-waves" than streamers made according to structures known in the art prior to the present invention.
While the invention has been described with respect to a limited number of embodiments, those skilled in the art, having benefit of this disclosure, will appreciate that other embodiments can be devised which do not depart from the scope of the invention as disclosed herein. Accordingly, the scope of the invention should be limited only by the attached claims.

Lost loved ones: They never leave us
Relevant offers
Life stories: Loved ones remembered
Just read a Stuff assignment about someone who lost their dad recently. I want to say to that person - if he's that special, you never lose him.
My Dad shuffled off his mortal coil 23 years ago. We were a family of girls. Dad, and what he described (in the innocence of those days) as his harem. You could never use such a term today - the outcry! But it was true - he had a bevy of girls who adored him.
The wife, the six daughters, and at that count, the two grand-daughters. He had grown up with girls too. His father died young, his only brother went to fight in World War II when he was just a boy, and he was effectively raised by his sisters, in a time that was tough, economically, for all.
He was ahead of his time in a lot of ways. Women, he knew from his childhood, could be mentally tough. He married our mother, a very intelligent person, and bred us. Of all his children, it was only the boy (who died just prior to his 16th birthday) who was less academically challenged, reinforcing his belief that women were intellectually tough as well.
It used to amaze me when my school mates would say things like, "oh my Dad doesn't want me to do science or maths". Dad looked at me with wonder when I suggested that to him. "Uh, yeah of course you can!" he'd say. Chauvinism, except in its most basic form (opening doors, jars or changing the oil) never occurred to him.
Dad cared for his family but in his shy way, he tried not to show it. Kissing was pretty much out of the question - if we wanted a kiss from him we had to offer it first. He had a charming habit of offering a brief hug on departure, which always involved him slipping a hand into your pocket and leaving a $20 note behind.
But, he was there when it mattered. When our brother died, I remember Dad asking if I wanted to go and see him. I was sitting with my back to him, trying not to cry. He knew this, and came up to me, put his hands on my shoulders, and whispered "or would you rather remember him as he was". That was enough for me.
He died way too young, and before he got to see the majority of his grand-kids. We at least have our special memories of him, but we can only relay these to our children.

Koji Sasahara, Associated Press
LONDON — Another set of successful bond auctions in Europe and renewed confidence in the continent's banks helped markets rally Thursday as investors awaited developments in Greece's debt-reduction talks with private creditors.
Strong bank earnings out of the U.S. from Bank of America and Morgan Stanley, as well as a bigger reduction in weekly U.S. jobless claims, helped to shore up sentiment even further as Wall Street trading began.
European banks, including those considered particularly susceptible to a further outbreak of unease in Europe, such as France's Societe Generale and Italy's UniCredit, were further buoyed by the news that Germany's second-largest bank, Commerzbank AG, won't need help from shareholders or the government to boost its capital base.
The mood in financial markets has been fairly upbeat over the past couple of weeks and much of the optimism stems from a growing sense that Europe's debt crisis, though not solved by any means, has stabilized to an extent.
The ability of France and Spain to tap investors for money at what were largely affordable rates, in spite of last week's downgrade of their credit ratings by Standard & Poor's, reinforced that view.
"European developments are once again at the forefront, with today's European debt auctions proceeding smoothly," said Nick Bennenbroek, an analyst at Wells Fargo Bank.
France's CAC-40 closed 2 percent higher at 3,328.94 while Germany's DAX rose 1 percent to 6,416.26. The FTSE 100 index of leading British shares ended 0.7 percent higher at 5,741.15.
The recent easing in concerns over Europe's debt crisis has helped the euro clamber off Monday's 17-month low against the dollar below $1.27. By late afternoon in Europe it was trading at $1.2940, up 0.6 percent on the day.
In the U.S., the Dow Jones industrial average was up 0.2 percent at 12,607.56 while the broader Standard & Poor's 500 index rose 0.5 percent to 1,314.70.
The recent optimism could all disappear though if Greece fails to successfully conclude its debt-reduction negotiations with the Institute of International Finance, which represents private sector bondholders. Talks are set to continue later, having restarted Wednesday.
Greece needs to clinch the agreement quickly to qualify for more bailout loans before it faces a major bond repayment on March 20. Without the money, the country would find it difficult to service its debts and be forced to default, potentially triggering more turmoil in global markets.
Last October, Greece's partners in the eurozone sanctioned a deal whereby Greece's creditors agree to take a cut in the value of their Greek bond holdings to help lighten the country's debt burden. The deal with private investors aims to reduce Greece's debt by €100 billion ($127.9 billion) by swapping private creditors' bonds for new ones with a lower value. It is a key part of a €130 billion international bailout, the second one for Greece.
Hopes that a deal is being thrashed out has helped shore up sentiment in markets in recent days as has the IMF's revelation that it aims to raise up to $500 billion to meet its $1 trillion financing needs in coming years. The new money to be raised includes $200 billion that European countries recently agreed to hand the IMF.
Earlier in Asia, Japan's Nikkei 225 index rose 1 percent to close at 8,639.68. South Korea's Kospi rebounded 1.2 percent to 1,914.97 after a losing session Wednesday. Hong Kong's Hang Seng rose 1.3 percent at 19,942.95.
Oil prices tracked equities higher — benchmark oil for February delivery was up 71 cents to $101.30 per barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

FBI-CJIS Security Policy Compliance Officer
Mark Rivera, Customer Retention Manager and CJIS Security Compliance Officer with Vigilant Solutions, served for sixteen years with the Maryland State Police, retiring at the rank of First Sergeant with thirteen of those years at the supervisory and command level. He holds a Master of Science Degree in Management from The Johns Hopkins University and Secret clearance through the FBI, Baltimore.
The U.S. Supreme Court will rule on whether police can collect DNA evidence from violent suspects to convict them in other crimes, when justices hear the Maryland case.
A convicted rapist is challenging a Maryland law that allows police to take a DNA sample from violent suspects, arguing his Fourth Amendment privacy rights have been violated.
In Maryland v. King, police took a DNA sample from Alonzo Jay King Jr. after his 2009 arrest on assault charges. King was later convicted in an unsolved rape case from 2003. The Maryland Court of Appeals overturned King's rape conviction in April, ruling that the collection of DNA evidence violated his Fourth Amendment rights and constituted a warrentless seizure.
Maryland's law, which went into effect in 2009, expanded the collection of DNA samples from those convicted of crimes to those who have been arrested for violent crime or burglary, even if they were not found guilty. More than half of the states currently collect DNA samples from suspects of violent crime, reports the Baltimore Sun.

The Tennessee Department of Transportation today kicked off "100 Years of Moving Tennessee Forward," a year-long celebration of its centennial as a state agency. The state statute creating the first state highway agency, the Tennessee Department of Highways and Public Works, became law on July 1, 1915. The department was tasked with creating a network of state highways and to perform and oversee construction and maintenance on state roadways.
Commissioner John C. Schroer, the 29th commissioner of the agency, said, "For a hundred years, this agency has been moving Tennessee forward with a fiscally sound funding philosophy and strategic investments. Our goal then and now is to serve the citizens of Tennessee by providing the best transportation system in the nation."
Several activities are planned over the next year, including historical exhibits, a history book, and a permanent centennial memorial to help educate Tennesseans on the value of transportation and the significant contributions made by the agency and the men and women who built the state's transportation system.
TDOT has also launched a website with a history video, schedule of activities for the year, an agency timeline, "Transportation AnecDOTes," a photo gallery and historical documents. Later this summer a social media campaign will encourage the public to share their transportation related photos. A celebration will cap off events on July 1, 2015 when TDOT hits the big 100.
"From Governor Austin Peay's 1923 recognition that motorists should pay for the roads rather than property owners to the passage of the 1986 Road Program by Governor Lamar Alexander, leadership in Tennessee has always recognized the value of a good transportation system and acted on that philosophy," Commissioner Schroer added. "We are pleased to mark this milestone by sharing TDOT's history with our transportation users."
The "100 Years of Moving Tennessee Forward" website is located on the TDOT website: http://www.tdot.state.tn.us/100years/.

Patrick Lenz thoroughly covers the basics, RESTful routing, plugins, testing, etc., and also teaches several tips, tricks, and shortcuts of the trade...things that you may not easily deduce by reading the API. Practically every concept covered is matched with hands-on exercises while developing the book's application. The code is accurate and virtually errata-free.
There were only a couple of times that I had a question. I emailed Patrick, he responded literally within minutes, and was very helpful!
I have read several Rails books. Yet this is only the second book I've read that truly practices what it preaches about testing (and the other was Patrick's first version for Rails 1.2.x: Build Your Own Ruby on Rails Web Applications).
If you want to learn Rails, or already know Rails pre-2.0 and want to get up to speed on the new features and functionality of Rails 2.0+, or finally commit to proper testing, buy this book and take the time to work through and understand every exercise. I think you will be very glad you did.
If i had to comment on the books limitations, i would say that there are a lot of topics that are glossed over: CSS, regular expressions, security. e.g. page 175, "regexs are confusing". I would've said that regex's are important in rails: validations, generating URL slugs, etc, and there are a lot of good resources, and also verbose mode to make them more readable. The book is pretty well indexed but "regular expressions" doesn't appear in index. p 329, you're shown how to take user input and display back in view *without* sanitizing. This is absolutely something you do not want to show in a beginner rails book. There's no mention of XSS, SQL injection, other security issues in the book, as far as i can tell. Something analogous is on p 258, where plain text passwords are stored to database, along with text that says this is not a great practice. The text should say "If you try to put this code into production, you'll probably be fired".
When you finish reading this carefully, you still won't know enough to look up issues in teh Rails Way book, which is where a aspiring Rails developer needs to be to find work. The book doesn't provide the next steps, e.g. never mentions the most often used rails plugins, ImageMagick, acts as solr/ferret, restful_auth, etc, doesn't mention any browser issues or DBMS issues.Read more ›
It is a book to introduce you to Rails (and Ruby) without going into too much of the technical aspects.
This will in no way make you proficient at developing Rails applications, however, it introduces you to the fundamentals (especially testing) of rails with which you can go and watch screen screencasts, follow tutorials or read other books on rails with a basic understanding of the process.
I do NOT recommend this book to anyone trying to further along their Rails training (nor is it intended for that).
I DO recommend this for anyone who has picked up a rails book or watched a screencast and blindly started to regurgitate the code that is being taught without understanding what it is supposed to do. This book will explain it.
A (free) tutorial with which I recommend in conjunction with this book is:
This tutorial goes into gory detail over (nearly) every basic step that you need to know to start your Rails apps.
I have read nearly 10 books , plus countless screencasts and tutorials (mostly outdated due to Rails 2.0) on Rails and Simply Rails 2 is by far the most up-to-date and easy to read for a true beginner.
Let me refine that: you will be able to write one Ruby on Rails application by the end of it. The book walks you through creating a program that works like Digg. The book explains well everything that you need to do to write this one program, and introduces you to the basics of RoR architecture and how RoR works. I followed the instructions and understood everything that was going on.
However, once you have finished this book and written your Digg-like program, there is no guidance for where to go next. There isn't a chapter on "Further Resources" or "Where to go from here" or anything at all - you're just stuck with your little Digg-imitation. Not only that, but the book tends to introduce information in a rather haphazard order. From a pedagogy standpoint, the order in which information is presented makes a lot of sense. But it makes the book useless as a reference manual, or even as a model for how to do your own project.
It's fine as a first step and as an introduction to Ruby on Rails, especially since at the moment it's the only thing in print about Rails 2.x. But you will have to read other books before you can be a competent RoR programmer.
