System for generating pressure waves for deep seismic survey in underwater environment for use in search of hydrocarbon and mineral, has autonomous underwater vehicles that is capable of navigating both underwater and on surface

Abstract: NOVELTY - The device has several autonomous underwater vehicles organized in swarms. The vehicle has onboard and seismic sources (D) and is capable of navigating both underwater and on surface. USE - System for generating pressure waves for deep seismic survey in underwater environment for use in search of hydrocarbon and mineral. ADVANTAGE - Since the autonomous underwater vehicles is capable of navigating both underwater and on surface, the presence of surface ice and surged sea does not prevent the normal navigation of sea vessel. The resonance effect by constructive interference due to the bubble coalescence is minimized. DETAILED DESCRIPTION - INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are included for the following: (1) device for generating pressure waves for deep seismic survey in underwater environment; and (2) method for generating pressure waves for deep seismic survey in underwater environment.
