Force X
Advanced vibroseis control with ClearWave harmonic reduction technology.
Force X
Overview
Force X is the next generation vibroseis control platform from Seismic Source. It combines vibrator control, positioning, fleet management, signal analysis, monitoring, communications, and field software into a single integrated seismic source platform.
Designed for modern high-production seismic acquisition, Force X provides intelligent sweep control, precision positioning, advanced connectivity, real-time QC, and centralized fleet visibility. The platform supports traditional radio systems, IP communications, Wi-Fi, cellular connectivity, and integrated GNSS positioning technologies.
A major part of the Force X platform is ClearWave, Seismic Source's advanced harmonic reduction technology. ClearWave is designed to deliver a cleaner, more faithful sweep by significantly reducing harmonic distortion and lowering noise in the correlation response.
Force X integrates with a complete software ecosystem including NavLink navigation, SrcSig signal analysis, ViDisplay QC monitoring, VibTest diagnostics, Secure Connect cloud services, and GPS Tracker fleet visibility tools.
The rugged aluminum hardware platform is designed for harsh seismic field conditions and supports real-time vibrator control, automatic QC monitoring, secure remote access, and integrated communication with vehicle and acquisition systems.
ClearWave Advanced Harmonic Reduction Technology
Force X ClearWave technology improves vibroseis source quality by reducing harmonic distortion, lowering unwanted noise in the correlation response, and producing a cleaner seismic source signature. The result is cleaner frequencies, improved sweep fidelity, and a more stable signal for seismic imaging.
- Reduces total harmonic distortion across the sweep bandwidth.
- Minimizes harmonic build-up during the sweep.
- Keeps sweep energy focused in the fundamental frequency.
- Helps reduce distortion products that can interfere with signal interpretation.
- Delivers a purer sweep with cleaner spectral content.
- Improves sweep fidelity and consistency.
- Supports higher quality seismic source signatures.
- Produces a cleaner and more stable sweep response.
- Lowers noise in the crosscorrelation response.
- Produces a cleaner, sharper correlation peak.
- Helps create a more defined correlation response for QC and processing.
- Improves sweep consistency for better data quality.
- Supports cleaner source energy for improved imaging.
- Helps produce a more faithful seismic source signature.
- Crosscorrelation envelope comparison shows a quieter correlation response with a cleaner peak.
- Harmonics versus time comparison shows reduced harmonic content across the sweep duration.
- Time-variant spectral amplitude comparison shows reduced harmonic distortion products.
- Signal trace comparison shows a cleaner and more stable sweep signal.
