    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.

    In recent five years, the main acquisition instruments in domestic exploration market are gradually replaced by wired system to node system. Node acquisition system has the advantages of less labor, small footprint, observing system changeable at any time and so on. As the proficiency of each team rises, the efficiency of the equipment is constantly improved, and the bottleneck of the field operation is gradually shifted to the vibroseis excitation. The traditional codec - controlled excitation method, which relies on manual radio broadcasting and manual operation of dynamite, is far from being able to adapt to the “node era”. In this regard, all the physical exploration equipment companies and physical exploration companies have developed high - efficiency excitation equipment for dynamite to meet different problems according to the production organization habits and characteristics of the work area. Especially, BGP Company has developed a series of operation methods and systems, forming a comprehensive operation platform that supports the mixed excitation of vibroseis, air gun, traditional electric detonator and digital electronic detonator. This paper mainly introduces the high - efficiency excitation system for dynamite.

    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.

    The hydraulic drive motor is the core execution element of the vibroseis drive system, and at present,the drive motor used in mainstream vibroseis is mostly the Danfoss H1-B-160 type drive motor. In the process of disassembly and maintenance, it is often inconvenient to operate in a narrow maintenance space, time-consuming and laborious for manual handling and lifting, and difficult to align the coaxial and other problems. Due to the difference in physical strength and experience of maintenance personnel, the maintenance efficiency and quality will be affected to a certain extent, accompanied by certain safety hazards. Based on this, the authors'organization has developed a semi-automatic disassembly platform for vibroseis drive motors, aiming to improve the efficiency and safety of drive motor disassembly by introducing semi-automatic operation instead of pure manual operation. In this paper, the structure, working principle and application effect of the platform will be described.

    Understanding the vibrator - ground coupling vibration model is the key to analyzed vibrator performance. The mechanical properties of both soil and vibrator mechanic can cause bad performance. Earth damping and elasticity are two important parameters that affect the performance of seismic vibrator. Soil properties of stiffness and dynamic damping should be considered important parameters to base plate accelerometers, the research results show that the model shape of the second - order resonance is that the plate mass and the baseplate resonate in opposite directions, and the baseplate dominates the response, smaller damping will cause more amplitude of baseplate amplitude. The baseplate - earth coupling model analysis shows that the ratio of baseplate acceleration and mass acceleration is limited by the ratio of mass and baseplate at high frequency. The resonance frequency is an important index affecting the high - frequency extension, the higher the resonance frequency, the smaller the phase difference between the baseplate and the mass at the same frequency, so the baseplate and mass must be controlled to improve the resonance frequency.

    The Quantum node seismic instrument single point multichannel tapping method is a simple and efficient method for tapping the number of channels. This method requires measuring the tapping sites in advance, establishing a stepping project based on the measurement results, and writing the tapping parameters into the Quantum acquisition station. Before tapping, 12 Quantum acquisition stations are tightly connected around a single measurement point. The number of stations arranged for a singlestation measurement line node does not exceed the number of firing downholes from all downhole cabinets, and multiple measurement points are tapped simultaneously. During the process of downloading data, the data processing software TX1 automatically extracts the internal GNSS coordinate correction field measurement coordinates of Quantum node collection stations, forming the same track sequence as the actual measurement layout. The track sequence of 12 collection stations on a single measurement break point is consistent, and the polarity anomaly station can be easily and quickly selected through the first break waveform.

    With the gradual application of a certain model of node equipment in seismic exploration and acquisition operations, various fault problems continue to emerge. Researchers continue to make optimization and improvement, and various problems gradually obtain corresponding solutions. Only the “red cabinet phenomenon” generated by “tricky stations” has always been a difficult problem in maintenance work. This article takes this as a starting point to briefly analyze the causes of the “tricky station” fault and the principle of the “red cabinet phenomenon”. By analyzing the circuit and based on the basic characteristics of the voltage follower, a new “red cabinet” solution is proposed. This plan can effectively isolate the influence of “tricky stations” on the collection index testing of other stations without changing the original test results of the station, so that the “red cabinet phenomenon” no longer occurs.

And then base on these two criteria, three factors affecting the coupling degree between the shear wave seismic vibrator baseplate and the soft surface are analyzed, including the hold - down pressure, baseplate area and tooth shape, and the influence degree of the three factors on the coupling is obtained. Base on the above research, the optimization of shear wave seismic vibrator baseplate has been carried out. After optimization, the frequency bandwidth of shear wave seismic vibrator on the soft surface has been significantly improved, which providing a reference for the development of shear wave seismic vibrator.

    With the continuous development of information technology, multimedia data have been gradually applied in the selfcertification of physical exploration process, especially in the construction process of dynamite, the drilling point information, drilling depth, explosive charge and other information need to be self - certified by recording video. However, in the actual application, often because of the inconsistency of operators and equipment, resulting in mixed multimedia data, drilling process information cannot be accurately accessed, bringing great difficulty to the later collating. In this paper, we use FFmpeg video image processing method to add the state information of the shot point into the self - certification video of the physical exploration process in the form of watermark, so as to improve the workflow of selfcertification in the field, and greatly improve the speed of collating, realizing the first application of video watermarking in the selfcertification of the physical exploration process.

    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.

    With the continuous development of shear wave source, the technology of shear wave seismic exploration has been explored and applied. Due to the low velocity of shear wave and the long time of passing through the formation, the description of the geological structure, especially the gas - bearing formation, is more precise. In recent years, a lot of shear wave exploration work has been carried out in different exploration areas. Due to various factors, the results have been achieved only in some areas, and the overall data quality has not reached the expected level. In view of the factors affecting the S wave excitation effect, this paper studies the propagation mechanism of S wave, and considers that soil shear force and vibroseis output ground force are two important influencing factors. Combined with the actual data, the verification provides a solution to improve the quality of the exploration data of S wave vibroseis.

    GunLink4000 gun control system will generate a large amount of data in the production operation, and these data must be transmitted through the GunLink4000 network system, and the GunLink4000 network system will sometimes fail to cause data loss. In this paper, the author discusses how to use the network performance test tool Iperf to test the network system of GunLink4000, and gives the detailed steps and test indicators of the test. Thus, the cause of the failure can be quickly found in the actual production, or the pre - test can be carried out before production to ensure the smooth flow of the system network and ensure the smooth start of production.

    Seismic exploration, as a key means of oil and gas resource development, faces challenges such as complex surface environments, intricate subsurface structures, and massive data processing. Standardization has become the core driver for improving exploration efficiency amidst these challenges. Standardization permeates every aspect of production, management, and technology, serving as a link between various departments and as the foundation for enhancing quality and efficiency. Currently, seismic exploration is confronted with difficulties such as complex surface conditions, detailed subsurface structures, prominent conflicts between agricultural and industrial activities, and enormous data processing tasks. Additionally, issues such as lagging standardization systems and talent shortages further constrain its development. Strengthening standardization can lead to a unified response strategy, optimizing process design, data processing, and technical methods, thereby promoting technological innovation. By establishing standardized designs, field procedures, data processing modules, and observation systems, significant improvements have been made in construction efficiency and quality, with a substantial increase in the average daily number of shots fired, and technological breakthroughs have been achieved in complex areas. The integration of standardization with scientific research achievements, such as the optimization of geophone array height differences, effectively addresses the problem of traditional standards being divorced from reality. In the future, it is necessary to continuously improve the standardization system, cultivate professional talents, and promote the development of seismic exploration on a track of high efficiency, safety, and sustainability.

    In order to avoid frequent stuck in soft shooting areas such as swamps, a kind of vibroseis wider wheels and tires. In actual use, it does improve the passability, but in the subsequent production, cracks have been found in all the vibroseis wheel hubs, which seriously affects the safety of the focal driving. In this paper, theoretical stress analysis and calculation of the hub were carried out, 3D modeling software was used to model and finite element software was used to simulate the force test, and the equivalent stress diagram and total deformation diagram of the hub under running state were obtained. It can be seen from the diagrams that the main reason for premature damage of the hub was the defects in the structure design of the hub. Finally, according to the software analysis results, the wheel hub structure was optimized and repaired.
