What Are Seismic Exploration Sources?

Seismic exploration sources are essential tools in marine geophysical exploration, used to generate acoustic energy that penetrates the seafloor and provides critical data for subsurface imaging. These sources are widely used in seismic exploration services to map geological formations and identify the potential for resources beneath the ocean floor.

Teledyne Marine offers a range of high-performance marine seismic sources, including seismic air guns and other specialized seismic survey equipment, designed to deliver reliable and precise data for energy exploration, research, site surveys, and environmental monitoring.

How Seismic Exploration Sources Work

Seismic acquisition involves deploying a seismic acoustic source, such as a seismic air gun, into the water. These sources release compressed air in controlled pulses, generating acoustic waves that travel through the water and penetrate the seabed. The reflected signals are then captured by hydrophones and other proprietary sensors, then processed to create detailed subsurface models. This method of seismic exploration is essential for offshore oil and gas exploration, research, geological surveys, and environmental assessments.

Teledyne Marine’s seismic air guns are engineered for durability, reliability and efficiency, ensuring long-term operation while minimizing environmental impact. Our seismic air gun maintenance solutions also support prolonged field use by reducing downtime and ensuring peak performance.
