CGG has announced that Sercel has made a major sale of its GPR300 seabed nodal solution to Chinese O&G company, Sinopec.
Over 6,000 nodes will be deployed this month in the Bohai Sea off the east coast of mainland China.
CGG said that based on Sercel’s breakthrough 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 compact and lightweight design, CGG said the GPR300 wa easy to use whatever the deployment mode
Emmanuelle Dubu, Sercel CEO, said: “We are very pleased to partner with Sinopec once again and to support them in successfully completing this new complex project.
“On the strength of our in-depth knowledge of the seismic industry and the greater opportunities we see node acquisition bringing in terms of enhanced data quality and insight for client decision-making, we believe GPR300’s design and configuration is the optimal solution for the ocean bottom node market.
“Having already been deployed on high-profile surveys in the Middle East region, the system is fast becoming the preferred solution worldwide.”
508XT System for Mega-Crew Surveys in North Africa
CGG ALSO announced that Sercel has confirmed a major sale and the imminent delivery of a 60,000-channel 508XT land acquisition system and 25 VE464 advanced digital vibrator control sets to a major North African geophysical services provider. The equipment will be deployed on a 3D mega-crew project in harsh terrain and desert conditions in North Africa and further strengthens Sercel’s well-established presence in this region.
Cgg said that with its flexible design, the 508XT solution can adapt to any field configuration and conditions, from small to mega-crew projects in desert, arctic, forest, agricultural, urban and transition zones.
The company said the VE464 control system uses the most advanced technology to provide the highest levels of control and accuracy. When used in combination with the 508XT, unprecedented levels of production can be achieved.
Dubu said: “This contract is the latest in a long series of awards highlighting our strong collaboration with our client and positioning our 508XT system as the benchmark for seismic surveys in North Africa.
“By delivering both the highest productivity and highest-quality data without compromise, the 508XT and VE464 systems are perfectly suited to support clients in achieving the clearest images of the subsurface in the region.”
