Seismic Party 477, part of the Orenburg branch of JSC "GEOTEK," has successfully completed research as part of a project in the southwestern part of the Buzuluk Depression in the Samara Region. The seismic survey was carried out using the 3D CDP (Common Depth Point) technology over an area of more than 120 square kilometers.

As a result of the work performed, the party’s specialists were able to conduct a detailed study of the geological structure of the area along the main reflective horizons of the Proterozoic, Devonian, Carboniferous, and Permian periods, as well as fault tectonics. The high-quality seismic data obtained will allow for the prediction of oil and gas accumulation zones, as well as the identification and preparation of new targets for exploratory drilling.

During the survey, the latest Vostok BV62T vibratory units were used to generate elastic longitudinal waves with a peak force of up to 30 tons. This source is characterized by a wide frequency range and high stability, especially in the low-frequency spectrum, which enables efficient geological exploration at a modern technological level under various conditions. This field season, the Vostok BV62T has already demonstrated its high reliability and efficiency in a project in the Orenburg Region, ensuring impeccable seismic signal quality during the research.

In addition to the main production volume, large-scale experimental and methodological work was carried out within the project to select the optimal BroadSweep vibratory broadband signal using the Vostok BV62T units equipped with an integrated domestic GDS-II control system. The results of the tests confirm the significant potential of this modification of vibratory sources, including the possibility of conducting broadband and low-frequency seismic surveys in various regions of Russia.
