Seismic transducers and baseplates having external dampeners and methods of use

摘要: Methods and systems are provided for inducing seismic vibrations into subterranean formations. Seismic transducers may comprise a frame, reaction mass, driver, baseplate. The driver actuates the imparting vibratory energy to This is then imparted directly ground surface propagate waves formation. These reflected by subsurface geological features. be detected interpreted detectors reveal information representative of surveyed region. An external dampener secured baseplate, which provide, among other benefits, damping effect Advantages include, reduced undesirable baseplate harmonic distortion or "ringing," decoupling, noise due flexure reduction more uniform baseplate-to-ground conformance. advantages translate improved surveys, having higher formation resolution reaching greater depths.
