Industrial oil and gas consumption is growing throughout the world. This means that new technologies and deposits must constantly be found if this increased demand is to be met. The fact that Sauer compressors are very much at home on ships makes them ideal for use onboard exploration vessels which use air guns to survey the seabed around the world to find and exploit new deposits. As the only supplier who can provide the compressors for the air guns and the compressors for starting diesel engines, Sauer Compressors can offer its customers complete solutions!
Sauer compressors are equally at home on oil platforms too. Our compressors meet the strict requirements imposed within this branch of industry. They compensate for the sea’s natural movement and thus help ensure that drilling and production can continue even when the sea is rough. So naturally, we are on hand to assist you even after your compressors have been delivered. Sauer’s service personnel will always get to you, whether they travel by helicopter or ship.
Specifically, in the seismic exploration industry, the seismic air guns are mechanical devices with metal flaps that release high-pressure air underwater and are towed behind a vessel to find oil & gas underneath the seabed. The air bubbles expand, generating seismic waves that reach the seabed. The reflections from these waves are recorded by a streamer, which then provides detailed information about the seabed structure and possible oil & gas fields. Seismic operators, research industries, shipyards, and packagers use Sauer compressors to supply high-pressure air for air guns.
