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.

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.

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.

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.

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...

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.

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...

During an ocean bottom node (OBN) survey, we used two types of nodes and two types of seismic source in a survey. The two sources were an array of conventional Airguns (CAG) and a Tuned Pulse Source (TPS). The data were recorded by co-located OBNs of two types...
