to be the greatest challenge in your position and how are you investing to meet the challenge?Technology wise, we're looking at how we can position new products, materials and technologies to help us to provide better solutions for our customers. We're looking at how we think about our sensor solutions and our subsea communications, but I think the most important challenge is engaging our team. They've been away from the office for a long time, and it'll be really positive to see the innovation that comes back from having five people around the whiteboard, as opposed to having five
Chinese Seismic Giant Buys 18,000 Seabed Nodes from Sercel
for seismic acquisition in shallow water environments down to 300 meters, the new-generation GPR300 nodal solution was developed in partnership with BGP."Featuring QuietSeis, the most advanced and ultra-sensitive digital MEMS sensor on the market, the GPR300 stands apart from analog-based sensor solutions. Its extremely low-noise performance delivers high-fidelity, high-quality datasets for high-precision subsurface imaging," Sercel described its tech.Sercel Launches Seabed Node for Shallow Water Seismic AcquisitionGou Liang, BGP Managing Director, said: “We have chosen to partner
Submersible Linear Position Sensors for Offshore Drilling
NewTek Sensor Solutions offers new, custom designs of Submersible Linear Position Sensors constructed of special alloys with chemical resistance to water in depths exceeding 15,000 ft or more and with external pressures up to 20,000psi. NewTek Subsea and Marine Sensor designs are used for measuring the strain on mooring chains that keep ships or platforms stationary and monitoring structural movement and elongation of pipelines, derricks and structural components of an oil platform to a fraction of a microstrain. Position measurements ensure the drilling platform doesn’t shift to more than
