Sercel Launches DFU-3C Node, Extending WiNG Range
Sercel has launched the WiNG DFU-3C, a three-component version of its field-proven WiNG land seismic nodal solution. The WiNG DFU-3C supports a growing need for high-end seismic applications for the energy and mineral E&P sectors.The new integrated three-component node acquires the most comprehensive and high-definition data for outstanding imaging, characterization and monitoring of the subsurface. As part of the WiNG range, it comes complete with unique advanced features as standard, such as the ultra-sensitive QuietSeis® broadband digital sensor and Pathfinder transmission management
Sercel Banks Contract for TPS in GOM Survey
Sercel announced a contract with a marine geophysical company for the deployment of its Tuned Pulse Source (TPS), a low-frequency broadband marine seismic source, and the provision of related support services. The geophysical company is deploying the TPS solution to acquire an ultralong-offset ocean-bottom node (OBN) survey in the Gulf of Mexico, which started in November.

been historically challenging to image due to the presence of carbonates and the shallow water.The new survey will provide modern, high-quality data over an area lacking recent, or any 3D data. The data also partially covers a carbon storage block, recently awarded as permit G-13-AP.The survey deployed Sercel Sentinel MS multi-component streamers and the Sercel QuietSea marine mammal monitoring system.“We are delighted to have partnered with SLB for the first time in Australia to successfully complete this large data acquisition project. The new high-quality data set will give interested players
Viridien Starts Sparse OBN Project in the Gulf of Mexico
products scheduled for Q2 2025.The complex salt geometry in the Garden Banks and Keathly Canyon area creates significant sub-salt exploration and imaging challenges.To improve the resulting images and subsurface information, the survey will record extra-long-offset full-azimuth OBN data and utilize the Sercel TPS™ (Tuned Pulsed Source), an environmentally friendly low-frequency marine seismic source.The technological breakthrough of the Tuned Pulsed Source, coupled with Viridien’s advanced imaging expertise, proprietary elastic full-waveform inversion (E-FWI) technology, and high-performance
Viridien Sells Marlin Vessel Monitoring and Alert System to ExxonMobil Guyana
Viridien, formerly CGG, has made a sale of its Marlin vessel monitoring and alert system to ExxonMobil Guyana to support its offshore operations in Guyana.The sale was made through Viridien’s Sensing and Monitoring business line, marketed under the Sercel brand.As part of the wider Sercel Marlin software suite for optimizing offshore operations, the Marlin vessel monitoring and alert system represents a significant advance in offshore operational safety.The system is designed to protect floating production storage and offloading platforms (FPSOs) and other high-value assets against a wide
Viridien Delivers OBN Solution for North Sea Survey
, formerly CGG, has sold and delivered a GPR300 ocean bottom nodal solution for a total value of approximately $20 million, which will be deployed on an upcoming seismic survey project in the North Sea.Viriden secured the contract through its Sensing & Monitoring business line, marketed under the Sercel brand, from a major customer, whose name was not disclosed.Sercel GPR nodes feature the QuietSeis MEMS technology, which provides broadband signal sensing capability, fidelity, and ultra-quiet performance, to deliver subsurface imaging.The GPR300 excels in shallow water depths down to 300 meters
Sercel Extends its OBN Portfolio
CGG announced that Sercel now has a complete portfolio of seabed nodal solutions for all water depths down to 6,000 m to meet growing industry demand for ocean bottom node (OBN) seismic surveys. Based on Sercel’s QuietSeis broadband digital sensor technology, the full OBN portfolio includes the GPR300, the GPR700, the GPR3000 and the MicrOBS.The GPR300 nodal solution was designed for seismic acquisition in shallow water down to 300 meters. Since its launch in 2021, over 50,000 nodes have been deployed in the field.The GPR700 was unveiled this week at the IMAGE 2023 convention in Houston, extending
CGG's Sercel Sells 6000 Seabed Nodes to Sinopec
French seismic data firm CGG said Tuesday that its subsidiary Sercel had made a major sale of its GPR300 seabed nodal solution to Sinopec, the Chinese oil and gas exploration, refining, and distribution company. Over 6,000 nodes will be deployed this month in the Bohai Sea off the east coast of mainland China, CGG said.According to CGG, based on Sercel’s QuietSeis MEMS technology, the GPR300 delivers "unprecedented broadband signal sensing capability and fidelity, and ultra-quiet performance to enable best-in-class subsurface imaging and outperforms conventional OBN equipment.
