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. With its
CGG's Sercel Buys ION Geophysical's Software Business
French seismic data firm CGG said Monday that its Sensing & Monitoring division Sercel had completed the acquisition of ION Geophysical Corporation’s (“ION”) software business.ION's software business includes Orca: a navigation system dedicated to streamers; Gator: a navigation system dedicated to OBN; Mesa: a set of tools for optimizing land and marine seismic crews; and Marlin: a software for managing simultaneous marine operations, used for marine seismic crews, as well as for various other offshore operations and harbors."This acquisition enables Sercel to supplement
CGG's Sercel Sells 12000 Seabed Nodes to China's BGP
French seismic data firm CGG's subsidiary Sercel has sold the second batch of 12,000 GPR300 seabed nodes to China's BGP, following BGP's earlier major order of 18,000 GPR300 nodes in 2021. "This represents a significant increase in the seismic survey equipment currently being deployed on a project in the Middle East. Impressed by the outstanding performance of the GPR300, the crew expects a further improvement in productivity," Sercel said, without disclosing the financial details of the deal."Now deploying a total of 30,000 GPR300 nodes, the operation is considered the
Sercel's Marine Seismic Acquisition System for KIGAM's Seismic Survey Vessel
French marine seismic data specialist CGG said Monday that its subsidiary Sercel had sold a complete marine seismic acquisition system to South Korean shipbuilder HJ Shipbuilding & Construction.The contract calls for the supply of a Seal 428 recording system, including Sentinel streamers, a Nautilus streamer positioning system, and G-Source II high-performance impulsive sources. The system will be delivered in the first half of 2023 to equip the R/V TAMHAE3, a 3D/4D seismic research vessel designed for the Korea Institute of Geoscience and Mineral Resources (KIGAM)."Taking advantage of the
Sercel Records Sales of WiNG Land Nodal System for Energy Transition Surveys
Sercel announced the sale of a 15,000 channel WiNG system to Smart Seismic Solutions (S3), a French seismic and geophysical survey contractor. This new sale comes after S3 successfully deployed WiNG in Europe on a series of extensive clean energy and mineral projects (helium, geothermal energy and salt).Featuring QuietSeis, Sercel’s ultrasensitive broadband digital sensor, WiNG nodes are designed to deliver optimal data quality for subsurface imaging. In addition, when equipped with Sercel’s field-proven Pathfinder transmission management technology, WiNG provides operators with
Sercel Acquires Geocomp
CGG announced today that Sercel, its Sensing & Monitoring division, has acquired Geocomp Corporation, specialized in high-value services and products for geotechnical risk management and infrastructure monitoring. This acquisition gives Sercel access to the US infrastructure market and will accelerate deployment of its S-lynks and S-scan infrastructure monitoring solutions.
A Seismic Shift
CO2, hydrogen, and ammonia in Ireland and UK.CGG will bring its geoscience solutions to help identify and de-risk subsurface storage, sequestration and geothermal energy sites using its expertise in geological, geophysical, engineering, modeling and monitoring technologies, including instrumentation from Sercel, its equipment division, it said.Also in April, a consortium led by CGG was picked by the European Space Agency’s Space Solutions initiative for a study aimed at developing new environmental monitoring technology and services to help combat the global marine litter crisis.CGG will collaborate
Seismic Survey: Bluepulse from Sercel Designed for 'Sensitive' Marine Areas
Sercel launched Bluepulse, a marine acoustic source that is a purpose-built to help protect marine wildlife from high-frequency emissions while maintaining highly accurate and reliable results for seismic acquisition.Bluepulse is compatible with all existing peripherals, and existing G-Source and G-Source II units can be upgraded with Bluepulse technology, helping to save up to 40% on the cost of fleet conversions.The new units offer available range options in three different casings, 22 different volumes and with two frequency limits (100Hz and 200Hz) to comply with regulatory environmental standards
