The environment

Seabed logging can reduce the environmental impact of exploration.

In the North Slope Alaska frontier region, the US National Marine Fisheries Service requires seismic work using sources emitting over 120 dB to be stopped when four or more bowhead whale mother-calf pairs are present.

Two independent studies have shown seabed-logging surveying to be harmless to marine life. Furthermore, the concrete anchors that weigh down EMGS receivers dissolve into benign products, so our surveys leave no footprint.

Inevitably, drilling has an environmental impact, but seabed logging can help to reduce the number of wells required in the exploration process.
