  • Seismic sensor holder and method
    Patent number: 8593906
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a streamer having one or more sensor holders for retaining seismic sensors therein. The sensor holders have a reduced cross-sectional area to increase gel continuity and coupling through the streamer.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 31, 2010
    Date of Patent: November 26, 2013
    Assignee: WesternGeco L.L.C.
    Inventors: Oeystein Traetten, Rafael Ryberg
  • Apparatus and method for decoupling a seismic sensor from its surroundings
    Patent number: 8588026
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a streamer having one or more sensor holders for retaining seismic sensors therein. A housing is disposed about a sensor with a gel-like material disposed between the housing and the sensor, thereby decoupling the sensor from its surroundings. The housing is disposed in the sensor holder and the streamer is filled with either liquid or another gel-like material.

  • Apparatus and Method for Decoupling a Seismic Sensor From Its Surroundings
    Publication number: 20110273957
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a streamer having one or more sensor holders for retaining seismic sensors therein. An elastic material is disposed about the sensor, thereby decoupling the sensor from its surroundings. The streamer is filled with a gel-like material that is in communication with the elastic material disposed about the sensor.
