It provides its seismic data acquisition services primarily to providers of multi-client data libraries for use in the onshore drilling and production of oil and natural gas in the continental United States and Canada, as well as directly to onshore oil and natural gas exploration and development companies. It acquires geophysical data using 3-D seismic survey techniques. In addition to conventional 2-D and 3-D seismic surveys, it provides multi-component seismic data surveys. Multi-component surveys involve the recording of alternative seismic waves.
