As Wikipedia puts it,Geophysical Survey Techniques: Detailed Information Articles ‘Geophysical survey refers to the systematic collection of geophysical data for spatial studies. Geophysical surveys may use a variety of sensing instruments; data in this survey may be collected from above or below the Earth’s surface or from aerial, orbital, or marine platforms’. Geophysical surveys are carried out by a number of industries and academic research institutes for various purposes; these surveys have numerous applications in Earth Science, Mineral and Energy Exploration, Engineering and Archaeology. It is to be noted that various methods and types of instrumentation may be used to carry out Geophysical survey techniques. Some of the technologies that are used for these surveys include Seismic Methods, Seismoelectrical Method, Magnetic Techniques, and Electrical Techniques and Remote Sensing Techniques including Hyperspectral; many more techniques are used for the surveys.

If you ever searched for geophysical survey techniques online, you know the number of companies that also pop out on the screen; these companies assist in procuring geophysical survey equipment and carrying out the surveys. They also help you choose the most-suitable Geophysical survey technique for your individual projects. However, the presence of hundreds of companies may make one nervous about the selection of one particular company for assistance. The rule of the thumb here should be ‘to go with an experienced company with an impressive history’. For this, you just need to visit their websites and find out what exactly they are into and do they fit your requirements.

Do you know procurement of geophysical survey equipment in itself is a tough job to do? However, a professional geophysical survey service provider will help you with everything, right from procurement of most-suitable equipment to planning the project to the completion of the project. However, your job is to find a reliable service-provider which is a tough job, especially when everybody out there is trying to prove that it’s the market leader. 

A few minutes of Google search (try other search-engines as well) will help you come across all top service providers in your nearby regions; visit a few of them on their websites and see which one fits your specific requirements the best manner possible. Once you zero-in on 3-4 of the service providers, it’s time to visit them in person and ask for quotes. Compare these quotes and their histories and on the basis of this comparison, pick the service provider which fits your needs in the best manner possible.
