Bass Marine Vibrator From Idea To Realization

Summary

The first marine vibrators were introduced in the 1960’s. However, compared to airguns these early vibrators were bulky, slow and failure prone. Consequently, airgun technology has dominated the market for more than 50 years.

Over the last few years, there has been a renewed interest in marine vibrators. The main driver is reduced environmental impact, with a lower peak output as well as less total energy emitted. In addition, marine vibrators offer novel geophysical benefits.
