The majority of Pulse's 2D data sets were purchased from two major international energy companies. Both are known for collecting exceptional-quality "high-fold" data by gathering seismic from the entire portion of the geological column that's considered prospective for hydrocarbons. Depending on the geographical region, this could range from 250 metres to 5,000 metres geological depth. Other large historical explorers collected data only from specific zones of interest at various depths, depending on the operating area. This difference gives Pulse's data library its edge in quality.

Pulse continually augments its seismic data library by purchasing data from various sources, such as seismic acquisition companies and exploration companies, and by adding the new data acquired through participation surveys.
