As the demand for oil and gas resources continues to grow,the difficulty of exploration is constantly increasing,which promotes technological advancements in contemporary seismic acquisition equipment.A new generation of wireless,single-point node instrument systems is accelerating to replace traditional cable instruments in variable observation systems,high-channel-count,and high-coverage oil and gas exploration projects.In light of this,based on the SCRXYB 3D seismic exploration project in 2022,this paper summarizes the control methods for the status and embedding quality of node instruments from various aspects,including pre-construction equipment research,comparative testing,and due diligence;standardized embedding of node instrument during construction,process quality control,quality feedback and tracking,quality evaluation,and reward and punishment;and post-construction equipment recovery,data organization,and summary evaluation.As a result,significant achievements were made in the SCRXYB 3D construction,including an increase in the first-time embedding qualification rate of node instruments,an overall improvement in embedding quality,an increase in construction efficiency,and an improvement in data accuracy.A set of detailed,comprehensive,and characteristic node instrument status and embedding quality control methods suitable for the complex mountainous terrain of the south has been established.
