The branch has extensive experience in the Volga-Ural region.

With the direct participation of the enterprise, about 200 hydrocarbon fields were discovered, including one of the largest in Russia — the Orenburg gas condensate field.

Seismic exploration using 2D and 3D technology on land and in the transit zone using the following types of sources:

• · explosive;
• · vibration;
• · pulse;
• · pneumatic.

Related research methods:

• · vertical seismic profiling (VSP);
• · study of the upper part of the section (UPS) and low velocity zones (LVZ) by microseismic logging (MSL) and refraction wave method (RWM);
• · magnetic exploration, electrical exploration, gravity exploration;
• · airborne laser scanning (ALS).

Using highly productive systems:

• · Flip-Flop —elastic vibrations are excited by signal sources alternately;
• · Slip-Sweep —signal sources operate simultaneously;
• · wireless seismic exploration — Seismic data are collected and recorded via radio or stored on memory devices inside the blocks and then read via Wi-Fi or when collecting all recording blocks of the NODE type.
