The paper briefly discusses the status of Russian hardware and software development for geophysical exploration. The analysis shows that in practically all the disciplines of the onshore geophysical works in Russia have the rather advanced in-house solutions. In recent years they found a certain commercial use in all geophysical operations. In terms of qualitative characteristics, Russian hardware and software products for seismic and other geophysical operations are only slightly inferior to the cutting-edge western developments. However, leading Russian oil and service companies prefer to purchase and use an expensive imported equipment even when a task can be solved using home-made software and hardware tools. In the current geopolitical situation and a sharp increase in sanctions pressure on Russia, there is a need for a substantial scaling up of domestic software and technology use and an expansion of innovative developments that are no inferior to the best imported analogues
