I am having a little trouble believing Seismo Electronics' claim that: "Our
geophysicists used our instrument to detect reservoir 2000-4000m below
ground surface", when the only seismic sources they describe are hammers,
weight drops and buffalo guns.?

 Hi James,
I happen to know that there is a company (Seismo Electronics, in Houston)
providing Seimoelectric services.? Below is the link?
http://groundwaterlocators.com/index.html

Also from that website, it shows a published book:
The Seismoelectric Method - Theory and Application

Associate Professor at the Colorado School of Mines Directeur de Recherche
at the National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS)

Abderrahim Jardani
Associate Professor at the University of Rouen

Paul Sava
Associate Professor of Geophysics at the Colorado School of Mines

Allan Haas
Senior Engineering Geophysicist

The edition first published 2015 ? 2015 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

I direct your attention to this paper by Kepic, Maxwell and Russell

https://library.seg.org/doi/abs/10.1190/1.1443772?mobileUi=0

Field trials of a seismoelectric method for detecting massive sulfides;
Geophysics, vol 60, p365-373, 1995.

UBC had an extensive research effort into the seismoelectric method under
the direction of Don Russell.? There are other papers and presentations.

Hi All ? 
?
I was wondering if anyone out there had any experience with
electro-seismics, i.e. using a seismic source to stimulate an electrical
response from the ground.
?
I have recently had a groundwater contamination client request an
electro-seismic survey, with the objective of estimating the aquifer
permeability ahead of drilling.? When I said that the method was pretty
niche and of academic interest? in comparison with TEM, electrical
resistivity imaging or NMR, they said ?but we?ve already done some?.? When I
read the report I was underwhelmed to say the least? while I think there is
some physical basis to the technique (I recall genuine papers by Anton Kepic
etc on piezoelectric effects etc), the company in question were
pseudoscientific at best in terms of the data processing and interpretation,
and their promises to clients.? The report had been commissioned (and
accepted) by a very major global geotechnical company who had clearly not
employed a consultant geophysicist.
?
There are several companies here in the Antipodes offering electro-seismic
surveys.? These typically operate on the fringes of mainstream geophysics,
offering services to agriculture and groundwater.? There is very little
information available on the physical basis of the method, or on its
practical limitations.? Here is a link to one such company (chosen at random
? I am not picking on them because they are from New
Zealand)https://www.atsgeosuite.net/new-page.? They have an intriguing
sliding price scale, where the client pays more for interpretation to larger
depth ? I wish I had thought of that!
?
Anyway, I wondered whether anyone had any genuine experience with
electro-seismics, and could provide more detail.? Is it a mature enough
technique that I should be considering it for hydrogeological work?? I
suspect the answer is no, but I would be interested in any comments.
?
Cheers,
?
James
