  • Seismic node deployment system
    Patent number: 11353614
    Abstract: A seismic node deployment system comprises a cable supply with one or more seismic nodes configured for coupling to the cable at one or more attachment locations for deployment to a water column. A node attachment system is configured to drive a portion of the cable into periodic or reciprocal motion so that the attachment speed is substantially reduced relative to the speed at which the cable is deployed.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 23, 2018
    Date of Patent: June 7, 2022
    Assignee: ION Geophysical Corporation
    Inventors: John McCauley Swinford, Timothy A. Dudley, Per Birger Nakken, Fredrik Buch
