Jacques Pierre Leveille has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Seismic data acquisition with varying distance between seismic vessels
    Patent number: 10712463
    Abstract: A method for acquiring seismic data comprises operating a seismic vessel towing at least one of a seismic streamer with a plurality of seismic sensors and a seismic source. The inline distance between the vessel and one or more other vessels is adjusted according to a predefined function, where the seismic vessels travel along offset seismic acquisition lines, by increasing and reducing the in-line distance during the acquisition of the seismic data.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 14, 2017
    Date of Patent: July 14, 2020
    Assignee: ION Geophysical Corporation
    Inventors: Jacques Pierre Leveille, Paul Brettwood, Jeffrey Alan Meredith

  • Seismic data acquisition with varying relative distance between multiple seismic vessels
    Patent number: 9720120
    Abstract: The present invention generally relates to marine seismic prospecting, and in particular to seismic prospecting using multiple vessels. During acquisition of seismic data, a distance between a first seismic vessel and a second seismic vessel may be adjusted according to a predefined function such that data is collected at a variety of offsets.
