Sercel reports that its multi-sensor solid streamer, the SentinelMS, has been commercially deployed for the first time and is being successfully operated on a large 3D multi-client survey being conducted by the CGG Geo Coral in the Southern Porcupine basin offshore Ireland.
Sercel says that the SentinelMS was specifically designed to deliver multi-sensor data sets of exceptional quality to help the industry achieve the best broadband imaging and generate more detailed and accurate images of the subsurface. Its technology relies on a field-proven low-noise hydrophone and two accelerometers offering directional measurements for both cross-line and vertical wave fronts. Used in combination, the hydrophone and the accelerometers meet the challenge of receiver ghost-free acquisition and add to the broadband toolbox to offer the broadest bandwidth seismic data imaging techniques.
Pascal Rouiller, Sercel CEO, said: “This inaugural large 3D survey confirms the SentinelMS as the state-of-the-art technology streamer for high-end multi-sensor streamer acquisition. We are confident that the Sentinel MS will attract increasing interest from the oil and gas industry as part of its quest to achieve greater processing efficiency and clearer imaging.”
