<p>An apparatus and method for transporting, deploring, and retrieving a cable with an array of nodes. The cable 40 has a plurality of nodes 30 interconnected by sections of cable and the apparatus includes at least a first division 54 and at least a second division, 58. The first division, has a first portion or holder (120, fig 3B) capable of individually accommodating a node. The second division positioned adjacent the first division, has a second portion or surface (152 fig 4A) capable of individually accommodating sections of cable. The first and second divisions can be integral portions of the apparatus, can be separate members positioned on the apparatus, or can be used with a standard cable drum. Preferably, the second divisions can be rotated relative to the first divisions to tightly wind and easily unwind the sections of cable. A plurality of alternating first and second divisions can be arranged on the apparatus, which is particularly suitable for deploying in-well seismic arrays.</p> |
