<\/a>Within the partnership, Fotech Solutions will contribute DAS measurement solutions and Sercel will contribute downhole seismic tools & software for subsurface seismic operations. This combination of expertise will lead to revolutionary new technology developments for both the borehole seismic exploration and microseismic monitoring markets.<\/p>\nSercel\u2019s contribution <\/strong><\/p>\nSercel is the market leader in seismic acquisition equipment. The company\u2019s full range of downhole seismic tools provide the best-performing hardware and sensor sensitivity in the well survey sector and enable the delivery of incomparably high data quality. In addition, Sercel offers a variety of complementary tools for source management, as well as real-time and remote data quality control.<\/p>\n
Pascal Rouiller, Sercel CEO, said: \u201cWe are delighted to enter into this partnership with Fotech Solutions. Fotech\u2019s fiber optic technology will enable Sercel\u2019s downhole seismic equipment to extend the boundaries of well exploration and therefore lead to a better understanding of the subsurface. This is a significant step forward for the oil & gas industry.\u201d<\/p>\n
Fotech Solutions\u2019 contribution<\/strong><\/p>\nFotech Solutions is a renowned supplier of DAS solutions for the oil & gas, pipeline and security markets. Its fiber optic monitoring technology allows high-sensitivity true-phase measurement over the length of the optical fiber, thereby providing full well coverage.<\/p>\n
Chris Shannon, Fotech Solutions CEO, said: \u201cBenefiting from the expertise and worldwide reputation of Sercel\u2019s seismic acquisition technology offers Fotech a great opportunity to demonstrate all the benefits that our fiber optic monitoring technology can bring to the market. The borehole seismic industry will soon be able to take advantage of this partnership between two key players that will break productivity and imaging records.\u201d<\/p>\n
Fotech\u2019s DAS technology also enables 4D borehole seismic surveys to be conducted during production, or in limiting circumstances such as when a conventional system cannot be economically deployed.<\/p>\n
Groundbreaking benefits<\/strong><\/p>\nThe use of DAS technology combined with Sercel\u2019s downhole seismic tools will enable the borehole seismic industry to significantly reduce operational costs, acquire more data more easily and overcome current temperature limits.<\/p>\n
