Progress of homemade OBS and its application on ocean bottom structure survey

Ocean Bottom Seismographs (OBS) and the seabed mobile seismic observation array composed by them was recently developed high-tech. It's a new growth point in the geophysical instruments and exploration technology, and it has a wide range of uses, such as in oil and gas exploration, scientific research, disaster prevention and mitigation and so on. The performance, technical data, and key techniques of the I-7C Ocean Bottom Seismograph (OBS) is introduced in this paper. The wideband 7-channel OBS is designed and produced by Institute of Geology and Geophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences. In recent years we have conducted five marine tests in the Bohai Sea, South China Sea, and southwestern Indian Ocean. OBS instruments made in western countries were also used in the five tests. The results indicate the good performance of the (I-7C) OBS in technical data, recovery operation ratio, and data quality. Since 2010, homemade OBS were tested over one hundred times in different seas, more than half worked in over 2000 meters water depth, only one was lost, and the recovery operation ratio was over 98%, data integrity ratio was over 95%. Some chief scientists believe that the domestic OBS have already reached advanced world levels.
