About NodalSeismic
NodalSeismic is a technologically advanced geophysical firm that provides 2-D, 3-D and 4-D seismic data acquisition for a variety of industries, primarily oil and gas exploration.
Having used every type of land system on the market, the company has found a unique combination of cable-free technology, strategic planning, and low-impact implementation to produce the most efficient, cost-effective and high-quality results.
What we are about
Safety first. The best results come from the best business practices. Our strong HSE management system is based on integrity and respect for human beings, the environment, and the life that inhabits our Earth. We believe in an approach to safety that engages our employees to think, make informed decisions, and be considerate with every action.
Providing great data. We developed our seismic system with specific technology, a unique approach to that technology, and the safest practices in order to provide our clients with the most accurate and highest quality seismic data. Our product was designed to be extremely reliable and flexible, to be used in any on-shore terrain.
The science. Our team is passionate about the science behind what we do. For the good of business and humankind, our goal is to create a deep understanding of the structures that lie beneath our country and communities. This understanding is critical to the strategic production of oil and gas, the improvement of building codes, the study of earthquakes, and the overall advancement of geology.
Great people. We take pride in the people that make NodalSeismic what it is. Our team members are intelligent, considerate, caring, and driven to do the best work to deliver amazing results.
Looking to the future. NodalSeismic was the first seismic company to utilize completely cable-free and wire-free node technology. We were also the first company to conduct and successfully acquire 3-D seismic data in a dense urban environment. We aim to have more industry “firsts” and will continue to progress and push the nearly limitless possibilities of our cable-free data acquisition system.
Description of Services

Our data management and processing staff has the experience and tools to provide the best data quality assurance. The data is formatted to industry standard.
2-D, 3-D, and 4-D seismic survey design, processing, and modeling are created using industry and proprietary software packages.
- SEG-Y file format
- SEG-D file format
- Routine data management and backup
- Continuous client shipments of raw seismic field data
Benefits
Highly flexible survey design
- Acquire more data faster
- Zero troubleshooting
- Reduce HSE exposure
- Absolute minimal environmental impact
- Reduce weather delay risks
Cost Efficiency
Get more data, faster. Our efficient and effective cable-free system saves you time and money, giving you a quicker return on your investment.
How You Save
The lightness and flexibility of our cable-free system makes deployment and retrieval faster than cabled systems. Our system also saves time by eliminating troubleshooting and reducing weather delay risks. Sensors weigh 1/10 of cable’s weight per station. An 84-square-mile job requires half the personnel required with a cable crew. This reduces your cost and HSE exposure.
What we do
Technology & Innovation
NodalSeismic innovated the use of completely cable-free seismic data acquisition.
Cable-free/wire-free node technology is central to our strategy to get the data you need in the quickest, most efficient, and cost effective way. Each node acts as a pixel in a geometric array that produces an unprecedented, high-definition subsurface image. Our technology and approach create high flexibility. We can easily capture data in rural farmlands without worrying about animals chewing through lines of cable, and in environmentally sensitive areas, rocky terrain, and dense urban environments.
Passive data
Continuous-recording technology makes it possible to detect and record earthquakes in a way that gives a better understanding of earthquake velocity models, which can help to strengthen structural building codes, natural hazard prevention, and mitigation.
In early 2011, NodalSeismic recorded a multitude of natural earthquakes with our high-density seismic array deployed for a reflection 3-D seismic survey in Long Beach, CA. The nodes were able to record and demonstrate ground motion caused by earthquakes as they propagated across our seismic array.
SmartSolo IGU-16 5hz
SmartSolo is based on DT-SOLO, the high-sensitivity geophone and focuses on the principal of seismic exploration which is known as 3W(Wave = high fdelity signal;When = accurate timing;and Where = the location), incorporated with electronics and software technologies in mobile internet era. This smart sensor provides adequate info for highest-quality seismic data acquisition while keeping its functions and structure as simple as possible. Electronics and software technologies are super reliable, mature and cost-efective in mobile internet era. These technologies are used for SmartSolo at maximum possible scale. The result: the geophone is something smart, reliable, user-friendly, cost-effective and could run in any harsh environment.
HIGHLIGHTS
- Improved Safety
- Greater Efficiency
- Higher Resolution Data
- Increased Coverage
- Better Data Quality
IVI Hemi 60 'birdwagen'
The 61,000 pound output vibrator offers broadband output and a high signal to noise ratio for the deepest surveys. The advanced features include high delity output, 4 speed transmissions, variable speed hydraulic motors, noise limiting systems, and ergonomic operator features. Wagon wheel articulated steering, which was first introduced to the geophysical industry by IVI in 1984, offers safe and reliable off road operation. The unique IVI traction system delivers the massive tractive effort, and the terrain following capability needed in rugged geophysical prospects.
