Abstract
A system and method for monitoring and controlling a plurality of marine seismic devices deployed in a survey operation. A battery monitoring device associated with each marine seismic device monitors one or more battery systems associated with each respective marine seismic device. Each battery monitoring device generates battery data associated with a condition of each battery system and communicates the battery data to a central processor. The central processor analysis the data and identifies individual battery systems or individual marine seismic devices that have anomalous conditions. The anomalous conditions include a battery depletion rate above a threshold or a battery life shorter than the remaining duration of the survey operation. The central processor is configured to generate adjusted control settings for individual marine seismic devices to improve the performance of respective battery systems and to identify whether individual battery systems should be redeployed in a future survey operation or discarded.
