An improved system and method for generating and controlling conducted acoustic waves for geophysical exploration are provided. A plurality of overpressure waves are generated by at least one overpressure wave generator comprising at least one detonation tube having an open end. The at least one overpressure wave generator is oriented so the plurality of overpressure waves are not directed directly towards a target media. The recoil force of the at least one overpressure wave generator occurring during generation of the plurality of overpressure waves is coupled to the target media to generate conducted acoustic waves. The timing of the generation of the plurality of overpressure waves can be in accordance with a timing code and can be used to steer the conducted acoustic waves to a location of interest in the target media.

La présente invention concerne un système et un procédé améliorés permettant de générer et de commander des ondes acoustiques guidées aux fins d'exploration géophysique. Une pluralité d'ondes de surpression sont générées par au moins un générateur d'ondes de surpression possédant au moins un tube de détonation doté d'une extrémité libre. Ledit générateur d'ondes de surpression est orienté de manière que la pluralité d'ondes de surpression ne soit pas dirigée directement vers un milieu cible. La force de recul du générateur d'ondes de surpression survenant durant la génération de la pluralité d'ondes de surpression est couplée au milieu cible afin que soient générées des ondes acoustiques guidées. Le rythme de génération de la pluralité d'ondes de surpression peut être défini en accord avec un code de rythme, et peut servir à diriger des ondes acoustiques guidées vers un emplacement d'intérêt dans le milieu cible.
