    Impedance matching is a technical issue that cannot be ignored in electronic circuits. Whether the impedance of circuits matches not only affects the quality of signal transmission or acquisition, but also affects the safety of electronic circuits itself. In petroleum seismic exploration, the impedance matching of seismographs does not mean strict consistency of impedance in the analog signal acquisition channel, as the concept of impedance matching in the telecommunication field. Instead, it refers to the reasonable design for the input impedance of the acquisition station and the impedance of the geophone itself, in order to ensure that seismic signals can be acquired with high quality. This article mainly discusses the impact of impedance matching between the input impedance of seismographs and the internal resistance of magnetoelectric geophones on the acquisition effect of seismic signals, hoping to be helpful to peers.

    During the construction process of international oil exploration projects, some projects need to establish independent coordinate systems. In addition, the current high - efficiency exploration and acquisition projects need to adopt global high - precision real - time satellite station differential services to improve the acquisition efficiency, and the coordinate system of the control point needs to be consistent with the real - time satellite station differential results to minimize the impact of different coordinate systems. How to choose the precision single - point positioning online processing service for international projects has become a problem for international oil exploration projects. This paper describes in detail the data requirements and output results of four online processing services, namely, CSRS, AUSPOS, RTX and OPUS, which are often used in international projects. The data of international oil exploration projects at different times, different locations and different acquisition durations are sent to the four online services for processing, and the results show that the processing results of CSRS, AUSPOS, and RTX are more consistent, and the results are more consistent with those of AUSPOS, RTX, and AUSPOS. AUSPOS, RTX and CSRS have latitude and longitude rms (root - mean - square error) less than 0.0003 s and elevation rms error less than 0.030 m, OPUS processing results are more different from the other three, with latitude, longitude and elevation rms errors of 0.00038 s, 0.00051 s and 0.124 m, respectively. In the construction of the international project, it is necessary to take into account the reference frame, calendar elements, results reporting, timeliness and other factors, result reporting, timeliness and other factors, choose one of CSRS, AUSPOS and RTX, and OPUS results are not recommended.

    With the wide application of satellite positioning technology, real - time satellite positioning and safe distance threshold between operator and drilling are used in dynamite seismic exploration, which effectively form an electronic fence of safe excitation distance. The setting of electronic fence (explosive area and non - explosive area) in the command center of unqualified excitation mode can effectively avoid the bad shot caused by incomplete collection arrangement or appointment quality control. Electronic detonator used in dynamite excitation has an electronic fence (explosive zone and no - explosive zone) in detonation password, which further controls the risk during the use of the detonator. This paper reviews the application principle and method of electronic fence in dynamite excitation, and brieflyintroduces the setting method of electronic fenceof electronic detonator.

    Ultra - short baseline acoustic positioning technology is a real - time underwater acoustic positioning and tracking technology. Its working principle is to measure distance by calculating the transmission time of sound waves. It comprises a sound array made up of multiple densely packed acoustic receivers and use phase measurement techniques to determine horizontal and vertical angles, thereby pinpointing the relative position of a target with respect to the acoustic transducer. Additionally, by integrating DGPS position data, orientation device azimuth data, and the relative positional offset between the acoustic transducer and the DGPS antenna, the actual position of the transducer is calculated in real - time. Ultimately, the actual position of the underwater target is derived through calculations involving the relative azimuth, vertical angle, and distance between the transducer and the underwater target, enabling real - time positioning and tracking of underwater targets. This technology has been widely applied in various fields, such as underwater robotic diving operations, real - time tracking of underwater vehicles, and monitoring the underwater positions of divers. In recent years, with the continuous expansion of the offshore oil exploration market, particularly the proliferation of the OBN (Ocean Bottom Node) exploration mode, ultra - short baseline acoustic positioning technology has been introduced into this domain. It is commonly used in the deployment and positioning of node equipment in offshore oil exploration, particularly in OBN exploration, and it has significantly improved the accuracy of node equipment deployment, increased the success rate of deployment, and played a vital role in determining the final position of ocean bottom node equipment and retrieving them. Based on the principles and characteristics of ultra - short baseline acoustic positioning technology, this article introduces and summarizes its application in OBN exploration from multiple aspects.

    The statistics of surface element foldtimes is one of the important means to monitor the acquisition quality of marine seismic exploration and guide the line complement operation. This paper draws on the two - dimensional statistical method of fold on land and combines the actual operations at sea to propose a statistical algorithm of foldtimes with de - duplication in offset plane. In view of the doubling of data volume caused by the development of high - density and refined acquisition, the performance of the calculation process is optimized, CPU utilization efficiency is improved and memory usage is reduced by 7/8. Finally, a practical work area in the South China Sea was taken as an example for testing and verification. The statistical result of foldtimes in the same cell was 97% consistent with that of foreign third - party software, which was comparable to that of foreign software in terms of analysis, calculation and practical efficiency. It shows that the calculation method and performance optimization results in this paper meet the quality control requirements of offshore seismic exploration
