  • Patent number: 10458226
    Abstract: A technique facilitates protection of a sensitive component, e.g. a well tool component, against shock and vibration. The sensitive component may be positioned in a mechanical chassis which is mounted in a housing. The mechanical chassis is mounted in the housing via a damper system which may comprise various vibration and shock absorbing components, such as a vibration damper, a transverse shock damper, and/or an axial damper. In drilling applications, the housing may be coupled into a drill string although the damper system may be used in other types of applications.

  • Patent number: 9217808
    Abstract: A sensor array is positionable in a wellbore penetrating a subterranean formation. The sensor array includes a plurality of seismic sensors disposable about a perimeter of the wellbore and coupleable to a signal measurer with a configuration to provide three component seismic signal measurement within the wellbore. At least two of the seismic sensors are located at different azimuthal angles relative to one another and oriented tangentially to a longitudinal axis of the wellbore so as to receive tangential components of wellbore seismic signals to the exclusion of longitudinal and radial components of the wellbore seismic signals.
