DENVER –Bolt Technology Corp. is introducing its environmentally focused eSource bandwidth-controlled seismic source to the Society of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG) Annual Meeting in Denver.
Developed in conjunction withSchlumberger, eSource is designed to reduce the high-frequency ranges produced at the start of an air gun release that may affect marine life, but without reducing the lower-frequency releases that benefit seismic exploration. The purpose is to balance the seismic requirements with the burgeoning limits imposed by environmental regulations.
The eSource hardware can be configured for three levels of operation depending upon the geological requirements of the survey and the regional regulations.
The equipment works with existing arrays without changes and is compatible with typical handling arrangements, says Bolt.
