Abstract

Devices, systems and methods for land seismic. The devices include an above-ground storage tank in which an acoustic energy source is immersed in liquid. The above-ground storage tank may be portable, reusable, self-supporting and may lay flat when empty of liquid and rise on its own when being filled with liquid. The systems include the seismic source-storage tank device, one or more sensors for recording signals that are generated when the source is activated, and a processor for analyzing the recorded signals for geophysical information. The methods involve methods of inducing seismic waves using the seismic source-storage tank devices, and methods of conducting seismic surveys using the seismic source-storage tank devices.
