Patent ID: 8553492

Claim:
A seismic survey system for performing offset borehole seismic survey measurement operations, comprising: a first seismic survey subsystem for surface seismic survey; and a second seismic survey subsystem for borehole seismic survey wherein the second seismic survey subsystem is remotely located from the first seismic survey subsystem; at least one source signal device; the first seismic survey subsystem comprises: a first source control system controlling the at least one source signal device to perform a surface seismic survey; a first interface; and a first wireless digital communication device; the second seismic survey subsystem comprises: a second source control system controlling the at least one source signal device to perform a borehole seismic survey distinct from the surface seismic survey; a second interface; and a second wireless digital communication device; wherein the first and second digital communication devices are configured or designed to provide a digital communication link for transporting digital information between the first seismic survey subsystem and second seismic survey subsystem.
