Integrated Offshore Seismic Survey Using an Unmanned Wave Glider

An autonomous surface vehicle, known as a wave glider, was used to record refracted and reflected signals from seismic source penetrating the shallow subsurface. integrated survey system consisting of gilder human-operated vessel deployed. These systems are acquire wide-offset data specific areas, such offshore structures. The gliders can collect refraction reflection data, which be estimate subsurface information, e.g., acoustic velocity structure. We processed raw collected by receiver equipped with glider relationship between travel time offset distance calculate velocities sedimentary deposits basement. basement were estimated 1557 3507 m/s, respectively. then overlaid on measured using single-channel streamer. Our results indicate that unmanned equipment for ocean exploration aid energy development.
