Definitions

  • the present invention relates to radio antennas and more particularly to a radio antenna adapted for use during seismic data acquisition.
  • Seismic data is acquired to analyze the subsurface of the Earth, particularly in connection with hydrocarbon exploration and production activities.
  • an acoustic source is used which may comprise explosives or a seismic vibrator on land or an impulse of compressed air at sea.
  • the acoustic signals produced by the acoustic source are reflected by the various geologic layers beneath the surface of the Earth and are sensed by a large number (typically hundreds or thousands) of sensors such as geophones on land and hydrophones at sea.
  • the seismic data is recorded and analyzed to derive an indication of the geology in the subsurface. Maps produced by processing the seismic data are used to assess the likelihood and location of potential hydrocarbon deposits.
  • Seismic surveys are typically conducted using one or more receiver lines, each receiver line having a plurality of receiver station locations spaced evenly along its length.
  • a plurality of sensors are typically placed in an areal pattem about each receiver station location.
  • seismic data is relayed from the sensors to centralized recording equipment using transmission cables.
  • transition zones deltas, swamps, marshes, etc.
  • a device that receives seismic data from sensors located at between 1 and 4 receiver station locations and transmits the seismic data to a radio receiver is referred to as a seismic data acquisition unit.
  • the inventive radio antenna is typically used in conjunction with such a seismic data acquisition unit or similar types of seismic data acquisition equipment.
  • the seismic data acquisition unit typically comprises a sealed buoyant container that is connected to sealed seismic sensors (hydrophones and/or geophones) and contains analog to digital conversion circuitry for converting the seismic signals picked up by the sensors into digital data and a radio transmitter for transmitting the digital data to a radio receiver connected to processing equipment for processing the digital data.
  • the seismic data acquisition unit also typically incorporates a memory device that stores the seismic data until an acknowledgment has been received from the radio receiver that the seismic data has been properly transmitted and received. Information is exchanged in both directions between the radio receiver and each seismic data acquisition unit as seismic data is being acquired by the seismic data acquisition system, and each seismic data acquisition unit (and its associated radio antenna) is involved with both transmitting and receiving information while the seismic survey is being conducted.
  • the antennas most commonly used with seismic data acquisition units are lightweight vertically polarized omni-directional dipole whip antennas.
  • a significant advantage of this type of antenna is that it does not need to be aligned toward a particular radio receiver location. This is particularly important for seismic surveys because the position of the radio receiver may need to be moved during a seismic survey and it often cost prohibitive to reorient a large number of deployed antennas during a seismic survey. It is significantly more cost effective to deploy the seismic data acquisition unit (and its associated radio antenna) and then to revisit the location only once to collect the equipment when seismic data from the vicinity of that particular station location is no longer required.
  • the omnidirectional nature of these whip antennas also reduces the possibility that radio contact with the seismic data acquisition unit will be lost due to the accidental reorientation of the antenna while the seismic survey is being conducted.
  • Whip antennas used with seismic data acquisition units are typically enclosed within a hollow tapered epoxy-fiberglass antenna housing that provide the antenna with mechanical support as well as protection from environmental forces. Because these antennas are shaped like pool cues, they are easily handled and transported. The antennas may be bundled together and manually carried by the seismic survey crew members or by transportation equipment such as trucks or helicopters. This is particularly important because seismic surveys are often conducted in very difficult to access areas, and the cost of transporting seismic data acquisition equipment into and out of a survey area is often a significant component in the cost of conducting a seismic survey. Another advantage of these antennas is that they are very durable. Seismic surveys are often conducted in extremely difficult operational areas, and the equipment used must be extremely rugged to withstand environmental forces such as wind and rain, saltwater corrosion, contamination by dirt and mud, and rough handling.
  • a significant problem with the conventional whip antennas is that their transmission/reception range is significantly restricted in areas having dense vegetation. Steps that have been taken in the past to address this limitation of conventional whip antennas have included increasing the power of the transmitter unit, raising the antenna until it projects above the vegetation, and using directional antennas.
  • the use of more powerful transmitters both increases the cost and decreases the battery life of the seismic data acquisition equipment. It may take a team of two seismic crew members twenty minutes to mount a conventional whip antenna on to a sixty foot extension pole. The additional time required can significantly increase the cost of conducting a seismic survey, particularly when large numbers of extension poles are required.
  • directional antennas While directional antennas have better transmission and reception ranges in densely vegetated areas than conventional whip antennas, they suffer from numerous drawbacks, including being relatively expensive, cumbersome, and lacking the durability of conventional whip antennas. Even more significant is the fact that directional antennas can effectively transmit and receive information from only a limited range of directions. If a change in location of the radio receiver is required, this often requires the directional antennas to be reoriented. Because the cost of reorienting a directional antenna can be roughly equivalent to the cost of placing the seismic acquisition equipment at the station location in the first place, in practice it eliminates the option of moving the radio receiver while the seismic survey is being conducted, thus effectively limiting the spread size that can be used during the seismic survey.
  • An advantage of the present invention is that the antenna operates in an omnidirectional horizontally polarized manner and possesses an enhanced transmission range through dense vegetation.
  • a further advantage of the present invention is that under certain circumstances the antenna will not need to be moved or reoriented if the radio receiver is moved during a seismic survey.
  • a radio antenna for use during seismic data acquisition having first antenna elements, second antenna elements connected to the first antenna elements, these first and second antenna elements lying in offset approximately vertical planes, and electrical contacts that allow the first and second antenna elements to transmit seismic data in a omni ⁇ directional horizontally polarized manner to a radio receiver.
  • Preferred features of the inventive radio antenna include mounting the antenna elements for easy movement between deployed positions and stowed positions and mounting the antenna elements so they lie in orthogonal vertical planes when deployed.
  • Additional preferred features include driving the antenna elements using a 90 degree Hybrid Matching transformer and driving the first antenna elements at +45 degrees and the second antenna elements at -45 degrees, balanced to ground.
  • the antenna elements may also be DC grounded through the transformer to the shield return of the RF coaxial unbalanced antenna transmission line for DC static drain.
  • the antenna elements are preferably mounted to a mast that is deployed in a substantially vertical manner.
  • the transformer that drives the antenna elements is preferably located at the top of the mast and is protected by shock absorbing material.
  • the antenna elements are preferably collapsible against the mast and may be locked in the stowed position or in the deployed position by a spring loaded fastener.
  • An inventive method of acquiring seismic data using the radio antenna involves the steps of deploying a radio receiver, and deploying a omni-directional horizontally polarized radio antenna to transmit seismic data to said radio receiver.
  • a preferred embodiment of the method involves deploying the omni-directional horizontally polarized radio antennas at station locations where dense vegetation is present between the radio receiver and the station locations and deploying whip antennas at other station locations. Further preferred features of the present invention are set out in the dependent claims.
