The technology to see more.

The data and intelligence to help you see clearer using proven, leading edge technology.

The highest image quality with near zero impact.

Whether you need 2D, 3D or 4D, the extremely high resolution we can deliver makes the difference between discovery or disappointment. A clearer picture of what’s underground means you will discover more of the sub-surface without destroying the surface.

Explor® enables you to see clearer than ever before.

We can provide industry leading resolution at an affordable price.

A range of technology options to fit your needs.

Explor has the broadest array of source options in the onshore seismic industry.

Source technologies:

  • Led by our flagship AHV-IV PLS-364 vibrators.  Additionally, we have access to mini and shear-wave vibrators.

  • We can do everything from conventional deep-hole dynamite to advanced stakeless minihole work.  Explor has used charge sizes ranging from 56 grams to 50 kg. Explor is continually optimizing our methodologies and source configurations to integrate them with IntelliSeis.

  • Weight drop sources - this inexpensive, generally lower-bandwidth source is well suited to many applications, and can act as an agile infill source tool in many situations. We have built a proprietary baseplate, and we are adapting and improving the sensor technology for more robust time-break acquisition.

  • Our patented, proprietary electro-fluidic impulsive source is a game-changing solution for many emerging applications.

  • Our patented, proprietary single-person portable impulsive source is a game-changing solution to sensitive environmental zones.

  • Explor has many other source technologies we are testing and developing including small shear sources and a range of others.
