Borehole seismic detector system employing stabilisers

摘要

A vertically deployed down borehole seismic detector system for use in a cased well (41) comprises a body member (42) having a flat side (40) with two corners (42A,43) for contacting the inside of the borehole casing (41). A backup locking arm (44) is deployed from the body member (42) to contact the inside of the borehole casing and urge the corners (42A,43) against the inside of the borehole casing (41) so that the sensor is held in a stable position within the borehole.
