Abstract: Traditional international geophysical giants announced their withdrawal from seismic data acquisition business in 2018. The main reason is that seismic data acquisition has become a labor-concentrated industry of high investment, high risks and low returns. Oil companies reduced their investment for seismic data acquisition for the purpose of cost-effective development. The significant amount of fund the geophysical service companies invested for technology could not be recovered in the form of capital, causing long-term and series losses in acquisition business. Being unable to keep raising fund, they lost their confidence in this business block. The rise of the Chinese companies has intensified market competition. As reflection of the company’s competitiveness and development potential, seismic data acquisition technology and equipment are developing in the trends for higher data grade, lower exploration risks and shorter exploration periods. Low cost, high precision and intelligence are the new directions of geophysical industrial innovation. Close integration of acquisition service companies with equipment manufacturers will bring about a new situation of industrial development. Therefore, China’s geophysical service companies should formulate the development strategies in line with industrial development and their own characteristics in order to bring the Chinese companies’ core competitiveness into play, focus on the development direction for technology and take advantage of the development opportunity.
