Abstract: A method can include receiving seismic survey data of a subsurface environment from a seismic survey utilizing water bed receivers, where each of the receivers includes a clock; assessing one or more clock calibration criteria; based on the assessing, selecting a clock drift processor for processing at least a portion of the seismic survey data from a plurality of different clock drift processors; using at least the clock drift processor, performing a simultaneous inversion for values of model-based parameters; and, using at least a portion of the values, generating processed seismic survey data that represents one or more geological interfaces in the subsurface environment.

Abstract: A seismic acquisition system. The seismic acquisition system may include at least one unmanned water vehicle. The seismic acquisition system may also include at least one seismic streamer coupled to the at least one unmanned water vehicle, where the at least one seismic streamer has one or more seismic sensors coupled thereto for recording seismic data in a survey area. The seismic acquisition system may further include a buoyancy compensation mechanism coupled to the at least one seismic streamer, where the buoyancy compensation mechanism is configured to orient the at least one seismic streamer between a generally vertical direction and a generally horizontal direction through a water column.

Abstract: Systems and methods for carrying out seismic surveys and/or conducting permanent reservoir monitoring with autonomous or remote-controlled water vehicles, including surface and submersible vehicles, are described. Additional methods carried out by autonomous or remote-controlled water vehicles and associated with seismic surveys are further described.

Abstract: To perform noise attenuation for seismic surveying, a sensor assembly is deployed on a ground surface, where the sensor assembly has a seismic sensor to measure seismic waves propagated through a subterranean structure, and a divergence sensor comprising a pressure sensor to measure noise. First data is received from the seismic sensor, and second data is received from the divergence sensor. The first data and the second data are combined to attenuate noise in the first data.
