Abstract: As offshore oil exploration and development is extending into deepwater and complex areas, seismic data acquisition becomes increasingly difficult and calls for higher requirements on accuracy. Therefore, foreign seismic data acquisition technology has been created in many areas. This paper briefs about the work principle of Stingray system – a new-type optical fiber seismic acquisition system suitable for permanent monitoring of deepwater oil and gas fields – and its composition, underwater layout and implementation method. As compared to Towed Streamer Technology, Ocean Bottom Cable Technology and Ocean Bottom Nodes Technology, Stingray system is advantageous in 4D imaging, 4C imaging and real-time monitoring. The system has drawn attention from foreign oil companies owing to high economic performance, low risks and good environmental reputation. It is expected to open up a new way for permanent monitoring of China^’s offshore oilfields.
