Abstract
An improved system and method for seismic exploration using live steam involves creating a cavity of live steam in a body of water, the cavity of live steam imploding due to the water cooling the live steam thereby producing an acoustic pulse, receiving reflections of the acoustic pulse at one or more receivers, and processing the reflections of the acoustic pulse. The cavity of live steam can be created by controlling release valves to introduce live steam into the body of water or by introducing hydrogen and at least one of oxygen or air into the water to create a bubble and then igniting the bubble.
