Abstract

Abstract. New energy acquisition devices are urgently required to address the increasing global energy consumption and increasing difficulty of energy exploitation. Devices for seismic exploration appear to be small in size, wireless and rapidly becoming more intelligent; hence, a traditional operating platform can no longer satisfy the demand of portable exploration device usage. This study investigates and develops hardware for a wireless microseismic acquisition station and then uses this hardware as a platform to address the distribution of wireless microseismic acquisition stations and deliver monitoring software based on the Android platform, which is portable, popular and has a large number of users. In large-scale field constructions, software can provide operators with visualised station layouts throughout the process, including positioning, ranging, angle measuring and network monitoring. It also offers a real-time network for monitoring small- and medium-sized microseismic acquisition station arrays under construction as well as other functions, such as intelligent control and real-time data monitoring of the status of the acquisition station. A drainage blast monitoring test is conducted on the system, showing positively monitored data and accurate results in the inverse operation. Moreover, the software and hardware are proven to be highly stable and portable through a post-construction test, which can help enhance the field construction efficiency.

Summary

Introduction

Non-renewable energies, such as coal, oil and natural gas, provide valuable resources for human survival. Given the rapid development of the industry, the number of mineral resources that can be explored has sharply declined, making oil and gas exploration difficult (Liu et al, 2013). As the main source for seismic exploration, acquisition stations play a central role in resource exploration and energy acquisition (Qiao et al, 2018). As the main source for seismic exploration, the seismic data acquisition stations play a critical role in resource exploration and energy acquisition (Mazza et al, 2012). Most of the current Android software has been applied to seismic data display and rapid earthquake reporting (Liu et al, 2014), whilst only some has been directly used at the large-scale field construction sites. The position information of the Android device user can be quickly inputted to WLAN, thanks to its built-in GPS unit and the GSM/GPRS access module, providing more valid data for construction
