Seitel

Seitel is a seismic data provider offering geophysical expertise to the petroleum industry, with a focus on high-quality data across the onshore, offshore, and transition zones of the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. The company designs, markets, and executes new seismic surveys for oil and gas exploration and carbon sequestration, and also purchases existing surveys. Together, these activities support a U.S. seismic database containing more than 45,000 square miles of 3D data and over 250,000 linear miles of 2D data.

Seitel’s services include seismic acquisition planning and execution. Its team works with customers and subcontractors to assess survey scope, feasibility, and financing, then coordinates permitting, landowner engagement, surveying, equipment layout, recording, data retrieval, and processing. The resulting data is made available through Seitel’s Data Library and map resources. The company also publicizes surveys being acquired through joint ventures, including projects in the Deep Bossier/Haynesville trend in Texas and Northern Louisiana. Seitel serves organizations seeking seismic information and acquisition support for subsurface exploration and related projects.
