Marine Exploration Products

Exploration of the ocean bottoms for petroleum deposits is highly important in meeting the ever-increasing need for energy products. This exploration involves sophisticated research vessels towing arrays of long streamer cables with hundreds of hydrophones. An acoustic impulse generated at the vessel and reflected by the ocean bottom is received by the hydrophones. The collected signals are interpreted by highly complex data processors, with the results being predictions of petroleum deposits.

Geophysical Instruments, a business unit of Teledyne Instruments, is the leading independent supplier of hydrophones and streamer cables for marine exploration. For over three decades, our products have set the industry standard. Marine Product's equipment is used on more than one-third of commercial seismic research vessels throughout the world.

In addition to supplying hydrophones, array cables, and related hardware items, we provide repair services for our own equipment as well as that of other manufacturers. With facilities in both the Houston, Texas, and Gloucester, England, Geophysical Instruments is strategically located to serve worldwide requirements.
