Receiver
Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-003057
A device used in seismic acquisition to detect and record ground motion caused by seismic waves. Geophones are common land-based receivers, while hydrophones are used in marine environments to detect pressure changes. The recorded data from multiple receivers are then processed to create an image of the subsurface.
