Sercel Awarded Contract for 100,000-Channel 508^XT Land Seismic Acquisition System by Major Acquisition Player

                                               
Paris, France – December 13, 2018

CGG announces that Sercel has been awarded a contract by a major data acquisition company to supply land seismic equipment for a large onshore 3D seismic survey in the Middle East. The contract includes 100,000 Sercel 508^XT channels equipped with strings of 12 SG-10 geophones.

This large-scale 3D project encompasses several diverse environments, including areas with limited access, such as industrial complexes, agricultural land and urban areas. The 508^XT system is an ideal choice for these challenging conditions: its unique fault-tolerant cross-technology (X-Tech^®) architecture, including local storage and automatic data rerouting, simplifies field operations and enables continuous acquisition.

Designed for high-resolution, high-productivity surveys, the 508^XT will operate at a 2 ms sample rate. In addition, deployed in combination with Sercel’s VE464 vibrator electronics, it will enable unparalleled source productivity using the very latest vibroseis techniques.

Sophie Zurquiyah, CEO, CGG, said: “The Middle East region is a high-potential market for large acquisition contracts and Sercel’s state-of-the-art 508^XT seismic acquisition system is the best fit for these types of giant onshore seismic surveys. With over 25 systems field-proven in the toughest conditions worldwide, the 508^XT is undoubtedly the system of choice for delivering the best productivity and clearest subsurface data.”
