Abstract
For seismic monitoring of a petroleum deposit at least one signal receiving unit is fixed to an outside of a casing pipe before the casing plate is cemented in a borehole passing through the monitored zone. At least one housing, defined by projecting elements, (longitudinal members, stops), is provided along an outer surface of the casing pipe, with the where the reception unit being embedded and fixed therein so as to protect the reception unit from shocks or compressive forces which may occur during lowering of the pipe into the well. Each reception unit comprises a support assembly with cavities for sensors, electronic cards for amplifying the signals delivered by the sensors and a sealed external case which is easy to position and which is held firmly in position by embedment in the housing. A multiconductor cable is used, for example, for connecting the reception unit to the surface.
