The PL24 Seismoelectric Exploration System
The PL24 Seismoelectric Exploration System represents a breakthrough in subsurface exploration, combining advanced seismoelectric technology with practical, field-ready design to help operators confidently locate valuable underground resources. Designed specifically for oil, gas, and geothermal detection, the PL24 system works by transmitting a controlled seismic pulse into the ground, which generates a measurable electrokinetic response when it encounters interfaces where rock, fluid, and sediment properties change.
Unlike traditional seismic methods, which focus primarily on mapping geologic structures, the PL24 system directly detects the presence of mobile resistive liquids — such as oil, natural gas, and fresh water — providing critical, actionable data before drilling even begins.
Key Benefits of the PL24 System:
Direct Liquid Detection: Rather than just interpreting rock formations, the PL24 identifies actual hydrocarbons, improving exploration accuracy and reducing costly guesswork.
Deeper Reach: Capable of imaging to depths of up to 3,000 meters (nearly 10K feet), the system opens new possibilities for small- and mid-size operators who previously lacked access to deep-imaging technology.
Cost-Effective: With minimal setup requirements (no thumper trucks, no explosives, no large crews), the PL24 system dramatically lowers the investment needed for reliable exploration compared to traditional seismic surveys.
Portable & Non-Intrusive: The system is compact, rugged, and easy to deploy — requiring only a two-person crew, a 4x4 vehicle, a small generator, and basic drilling tools, making it suitable for remote or sensitive environments.
Rapid Results: Data can be collected, processed, and interpreted quickly, allowing clients to adjust exploration strategies in real time or within days, rather than waiting weeks for full seismic reports.
Accessible Operation: The PL24 does not require a specialized geophysical degree to operate. With PetroLocate’s included training and ongoing support, individuals from diverse backgrounds can confidently use the system and interpret results.
Global Use: Successfully deployed across (or spanning) five countries and three continents, the PL24 has proven itself effective in a wide range of geologies and climates, from North America to the Middle East, Africa, and beyond.
With its innovative design and proven results, the PL24 Seismoelectric Exploration System is transforming how independent operators, energy companies, and exploration teams approach subsurface resource discovery — leveling the playing field and bringing advanced exploration tools to projects of all sizes.
Mapping Capabilities
Leveraging PL24 survey data, we generate detailed subsurface maps and profiles that reveal hydrocarbon zones, fluid movement, porosity variations, and permeability contrasts. This enhances the accuracy of resource targeting and reduces the risk of drilling unproductive wells.
Depth and Yield
Engineered for deep exploration, the PL24 is capable of detecting resistive liquid zones — including oil, gas, and fresh water — at depths of up to 3,000 meters (nearly 10K feet).
Productivity and Applications
With its strong signal-to-noise performance, the PL24 system allows experienced operators to complete dozens of survey points per day. Its applications span hydrocarbon exploration, geothermal investigations, fluid migration studies, and enhanced resource development planning.
