Continuous seismic monitoring – SOVs are available 24/7 for permanent reservoir monitoring, offering unmatched economy for multi-source permanent installations. Life-of-field fixed source-receiver arrays  are used to detect subtle changes in reservoir properties unobtainable through conventional seismic approaches. Distributed SOVs provide new opportunities for VSP and reflection monitoring of time-lapse processes. 

Powerful swept frequency surface orbital vibrators (SOV) for active excitation of your receiver network. These sources are ideal for continuous monitoring using permanent sensor arrays for life-of-field applications. SOVs complement fiber-optic DAS arrays, taking advantage of their wide spatial aperture and provide the ability to stack high energy sweeps to overcome sensitivity limitations.

• A range of models match user requirements with force from 1,365 kgf up to 23,000 kgf.

• Programmable sweep can be used to  tune source power spectra for optimal data collection. 

• Source function monitored locally using  a 24-bit 3-channel seismic recorder. 

• Class II Div. 2 Group F, T4, NEMA 4 motor and NEMA 3R vented controller enclosure.
