SYSTEM AND METHOD TO OPTIMIZE DYNAMICALLY MULTI-VESSEL SEISMIC OPERATIONS

摘要

Controllers and methods are provided to optimize dynamically multi-vessel seismic operations. Current information on survey plans of data acquisition systems is gathered at predetermined time intervals and/or when a survey plan alteration occurs. To identify potential conflicts, an applied spatial constraint is checked to see if, according to the survey plans, it will be met throughout a foreseeable future period. If the checking reveals a conflict, at least one of the survey plans is adjusted to avoid the conflict.
