Founded in 1978, Walker Marine Geophysical has built its business on 32 years of real world seismic acquisition across five continents. We are a marine seismic acquisition company which specializes in high resolution 2D & 3D towed streamer surveys. Though we can work in any depth, our niche is extremely shallow water (>1.5 meters) acquisition.
Our clients in the E&P industry realize a real economic alternative of shallow towed streamer acquisition to ocean bottom systems. With our shallow draft catamarans and 120-channel digital 400m solid streamer, we confidently image to sub-surface depths of 2500m while acquiring in shoal depth waters. And because our high resolution data begins at the sea floor, a single data set can be utilized for both exploration and hazard survey in the 1-10m transition zone, saving time and money.
We have worked in very hazardous environments and virtually every body of water including rivers, lakes, streams, irrigation canals, ponds, shallow bays, and near shore locations. Our job is to save you money and time by discovering the potential sub surface hazards that can cause expensive delays for your exploration or offshore engineering project. No other acquisition firms have our dynamic shallow water operational capabilities.
