NAICS Code 541690-81 Description (8-Digit)

Geophysical Services is a subdivision of the NAICS Code 541690 that involves the application of principles and methods of physics to the study of the earth's surface and subsurface. This industry provides a range of services that help in the exploration and development of natural resources such as oil, gas, minerals, and water. Geophysical Services use various techniques to collect and analyze data about the earth's subsurface, including seismic surveys, magnetic surveys, gravity surveys, and electromagnetic surveys. The data collected is then used to create detailed maps and models of the subsurface, which can be used to identify potential areas for resource exploration and development.

Parent Code - Official US Census

Official 6‑digit NAICS codes serve as the parent classification used for government registrations and documentation. The marketing-level 8‑digit codes act as child extensions of these official classifications, providing refined segmentation for more precise targeting and detailed niche insights. Related industries are listed under the parent code, offering a broader context of the industry environment.

History

A concise historical narrative of NAICS Code 541690-81 covering global milestones and recent developments within the United States.

  • The Geophysical Services industry has a long history dating back to the early 20th century when the first seismic surveys were conducted to explore for oil and gas. In the 1930s, the industry saw significant growth as the demand for oil and gas exploration increased. The industry continued to grow and evolve with the development of new technologies such as magnetometers, gravimeters, and ground-penetrating radar. In recent years, the industry has expanded beyond oil and gas exploration to include environmental and engineering applications such as groundwater mapping, mineral exploration, and geotechnical investigations. In the United States, the industry has seen significant growth in the past decade due to increased demand for shale gas exploration and the development of new technologies such as 3D seismic imaging and hydraulic fracturing.
