Method and system for transmission of seismic data

摘要

The transmission system combines a self-contained, wireless seismic acquisition unit and a wireless, line of site, communications unit to form a plurality of individual short-range transmission networks and also a mid-range, line of sight transmission network.

主权项

1. A method of performing seismic exploration, comprising:
providing a self-contained wireless seismic acquisition unit including a first short-range transceiver and a geophone, the self-contained wireless seismic acquisition unit configured to detect seismic energy using the geophone; providing a wireless communications unit having a mid-range transceiver and a second short-range transceiver; supporting the wireless communications unit with a support structure; receiving, by the mid-range transceiver via a mid-range radio transmission having a first set of parameters, a control signal from a transmission station; and transmitting, by the second short-range transceiver of the wireless communications unit via a short-range transmission with a second set of parameters, information based on the control signal to the first short-range transceiver of the self-contained wireless seismic acquisition unit, at least one parameter of the second set of parameters being different from the first set of parameters.
