Zusammenfassung:A wellbore seismic receiver system is disclosed which includes a system housing adapted to traverse a wellbore and a sensor housing adapted to be placed in contact with a wall of the wellbore. The sensor housing has at least one seismic sensor disposed therein. A compliant chamber couples the sensor housing to the system housing, and a controllable source of pressurized gas is coupled to an interior of the chamber. The gas source is adapted to selectively pressurize the chamber to place the sensor housing in contact with the wall of the wellbore.
