Patent attributes
A system to deploy seismic sensors in a marine environment is provided. The system includes a seismic sensor transfer device to house and transport a plurality of seismic sensors. The seismic sensor transfer device is deployed from a vessel. The system includes a propulsion system of the seismic sensor transfer device to receive an instruction and move, responsive to the instruction, the seismic sensor transfer device. The system includes an underwater vehicle that transfers at least one of the plurality of seismic sensors from the seismic sensor transfer device to the underwater vehicle. The underwater vehicle operates at a second speed different from a first speed at which the vessel operates. The underwater vehicle places the at least one seismic sensor on a seabed.
