We present the concept and functionality of a recently deployed marine vibrator Quality Control (QC) system. This system, recently utilized for the first time, facilitates both real-time and long-term monitoring of each subsystem within the vibrators. It plays a dual role in overseeing geophysical signal quality and ensuring equipment reliability, contributing to the overall enhancement of the vibrator system.
The QC system is equipped with over 30 sensors on each vibrator and continuous monitoring in a 24/7 operational setting becomes a challenging task for human operators. To address this challenge, a multi-level QC system that relies on computed attributes has been developed. It notifies the user through visual color-coding and audio alarms, enabling efficient detection of potential issues. In case of a flagged problem, the system supports a detailed investigation.
