Categorizing Alternative Seismic Sources Based on Their Potential to Affect Marine Mammals

Seismic airguns generate high intensity noise that can affect marine life. Emerging alternative seismic sources offer promising opportunities to reduce acoustic impacts, yet their performance and integration into regulatory processes remain poorly quantified.

  • Abstract
3C Multi-Wave Ambient Noise Tomography Applied to the Horex Scientific Pilot for Natural Hydrogen Exploration

The transition toward decarbonized energy systems has placed hydrogen at the core of global strategies aimed at achieving climate neutrality.

  • Abstract
Diminishing Returns in OBN Fleet Configuration:A Batch Simulation Approach to Right-Sizing Vessel Count and Arrival Stagger

OBN fleet configuration decisions are typically made using day-rate multiplication,a method that cannot capture the non-linear relationship between vessel count, idle time, and total cost.

  • Abstract
The effect of the reflection of the seabed on source signature recorded by ocean bottom nodes

Wavelets emitted by seismic sources are called source signatures. They are required for environmental impact assessment and permitting. It is therefore important to know the maximal Sound Pressure Level (SPL) of seismic sources.

  • Abstract
Reducing the Environmental Impact of Seismic Surveys: A Review of Impulsive Source Technologies and Monitoring Solutions

Seismic surveys are used to explore and characterize subsurface geological structures. They play a critical role in the oil and gas industry. However, seismic surveys can also have significant environmental impact, particularly on marine mammals.

  • Abstract
Optimizing Offshore Operations with a Low Frequency Source Solution

The Tuned Pulse Source (TPS) is a low-frequency seismic source designed to generate high-quality seismic data in complex geological settings. The TPS has been successfully deployed in various locations, including the Gulf of Mexico, where it has provided detailed images of the subsurface.

  • Abstract
Timing robustness and predictability of dual-clock architecture for long-duration Ocean Bottom Node acquisition

Ocean Bottom Nodes (OBNs) play a central role in modern seismic exploration and monitoring, enabling high-resolution imaging and long-offset acquisition in increasingly challenging environments.

  • Abstract
Low frequency sources for sub-basalt, pre-salt, blocky reservoir model building, and improved resolution

Imaging targets under salt, basalt, carbonates, and chalk is a big challenge because such overburden significantly scatters and attenuates seismic waves, and because building accurate velocity models is subject to cycle skipping...

Delivering Value with the GPR Deepwater Solution

This case study evaluates the performance of the Sercel’s QuietSeis® MEMS nodes used with the Tuned Pulse Source (TPS) during the Laconia Phase 1 seismic survey.

  • Abstract
Dual-clock timing solution for OBN acquisition

With the increase in seismic exploration and monitoring campaigns, Ocean Bottom Nodes (OBNs) are playing a central role in the acquisition of high-resolution geophysical data. However, changing in operational requirements - whether to reach more remote or deeper zones or to extend recording times - impose a growing need for nodes autonomy...
