I/O Sleeve Guns

IO-SLEEVEGUNI/O has been providing air guns to the seismic industry since acquiring the Exploration Products Division of Western Geophysical in 1996.

The I/O Sleeve Gun offers several key benefits over traditional air guns.

Improved safety - Sleeve Guns can be retrieved and deployed without being pressurized.

Signature reliability and 4D repeatability - Traditional air guns use multiple ports, and the resulting discharge of air becomes rapidly disorganized. In a compact array, these disorganized bubbles can interfere with each other in an unpredictable and non-repeatable fashion. I/O’s Sleeve Gun uses a single 360 degree port, resulting in a predictable, spherical bubble with a reliable and repeatable interaction with adjacent guns.
