Abstract
The Marine Vibrator Joint Industry Project (MVJIP), sponsored by Shell, Total and ExxonMobil, has been ongoing for four years. During this time significant progress has been made towards developing fully commercial marine vibrators. We begin by describing the history of, and need for, marine vibrator development, including the successes and shortcomings of the technology development before the MVJIP. Following this, we discuss the motivation for initiating the MVJIP, including the specifications required and initial phases of the project. Next, we move on to the vendors that are developing the different options. For each of the three vendors, we shall discuss their background with the technology, the type of technology being developed and their results to date. After discussing the vendors, we shall move on to the impact the MVJIP has had on the commercial marine vibrator industry. Finally, we will discuss our experiences to date and conclude with further work and the way forward for the project.
