Methods and systems for determination of vertical correction of observed reflection seismic signals

摘要

Methods and systems for determining position of seismic sources and receivers are disclosed. Signals received by a first antenna are processed to determine its 3D coordinate position. Signals received by the first antenna and a second antenna are combined and processed to estimate a spatial vector between the first and second antennas. The spatial vector is added to the 3D coordinate position of the first antenna to provide a 3D coordinate position of the second antenna. Using the 3D coordinate position of the second antenna, a 3D coordinate position of a seismic source unit or receiver may be calculated, as well as a vertical correction for reflected seismic signals received by the receiver. This abstract allows a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the disclosure. It will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims. 37 CFR 1.72(b).
