Patent 8149647 was granted and assigned to WesternGeco on April, 2012 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
A robust seismic cable and sensor module system wherein the sensor modules include a housing and sensing unit. The housing substantially transfers the load and torque of the cable from one end of the housing to the other bypassing the sensing unit and the sensing unit and housing are acoustically decoupled from each other for the seismic frequencies desired.
