The present disclosure is directed to systems, methods, and apparatus for delivering seismic data acquisition units to, and retrieving from, an underwater vehicle. A sensor storage container can be tethered to a surface vessel, which can move on the surface with a non-zero velocity. The underwater vehicle can include a storage compartment to store seismic data acquisition units and a propulsion system to aid the movement of the underwater vehicle. The underwater vehicle also can include passive and active protrusions for coupling with corresponding receptacles on the sensor storage container.The sensor storage container also can include a propulsion system to aid movement of the sensor storage container. The propulsion systems of both the underwater vehicle and the sensor storage container can be controlled to allow the underwater vehicle and the sensor storage container to couple and allow transfer of seismic data acquisition units.
本公开涉及用于将地震数据采集单元递送到水下运载工具并从水下运载工具取回的系统、法和装置。传感器存储容器可以拴系到水面船舶上,水面船舶可以以非零速度在水面上移动。水下运载工具可以包括用于存储地震数据采集单元的存储室和用于辅助水下运载工具的运动的推进系统。水下运载工具还可以包括用于与传感器存储容器上的相应插座耦接的被动和主动突起。传感器存储容器还可以包括推进系统,以辅助传感器存储容器的运动。可以控制水下运载工具和传感器存储容器两者的推进系统,以允许水下运载工具和传感器存储容器耦接并允许地震数据采集单元的传送。
