Seismic surveying
First Claim
1. A method of providing a remote display representative of the quality of the coverage of a seismic survey, the method comprising the steps of:
- (a) progressively building up at the site of the survey a first data base of data required for said display and relating to the area being covered by the survey;
(b) concurrently transmitting the data being used to build up the first data base via satellite link to a first remote location, to build up a duplicate of the first data base at said first remote location;
(c) providing access to said first remote location for the receipt of display requests from further remote locations; and
(d) in response to such requests, processing the data of said duplicate data base to provide processed data for producing said display, and compressing said processed data and transmitting it to such a further remote location for reconstitution and display thereat.

8. A system providing a remote display representative of the quality of the coverage of a seismic survey, the system comprising:
-
(a) means for progressively building up at the site of the survey a first data base of data required for said display and relating to the area being covered by the survey;
(b) means for concurrently transmitting the data being used to build up the first data base via satellite link to a first remote location;
(c) means for receiving the transmitted data and building up a duplicate of the first data base at the first remote location; and
(d) processing means at the first remote location for processing the data of said duplicate data base to provide processed date for producing said display, said processing means including means responsive to requests from further remote locations to provide requests from the “
further remote locations”
or displaying the data at the “
further remote locations”
responsive to such requests.- View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
