World\u2019s leading designer and manufacturer of innovative seismic equipment and reservoir monitoring instruments, Sercel has announced the launch of its first distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) seismic solution: SigmaWave. Designed in partnership with Fotech Solutions, SigmaWave is the first integrated distributed acoustic solution designed exclusively for borehole seismic applications and reinforces Sercel\u2019s advanced range of downhole seismic acquisition systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SigmaWave is fully integrated\nwith Sercel\u2019s existing downhole seismic tools and enables continuous, real-time\nseismic measurements along the entire length of a fiber optic cable. Whether by\nretrievable or permanent deployment, it is now possible to visualize and\nmonitor the well in real time and instantly generate SEG-Y files. With unique\nfeatures, such as user-selectable gauge length, acquiring the highest quality\nseismic data, without compromise, is now possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Seamless integration of Fotech\u2019s\ncutting-edge fiber optic monitoring technology into Sercel\u2019s market-leading\nseismic acquisition systems is a natural fit of best-in-class solutions and\nheralds a significant step-change in data quality and productivity levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chris Shannon, Fotech Solutions\nCEO, said: \u201cSigmaWave represents the best of two industry leaders and\ndemonstrates how, together, we continue to push the boundaries of innovation in\nupstream applications \u2013 with the opportunity to enable the best of DAS\ntechnology for the seismic industry.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pascal Rouiller, Sercel CEO,\nsaid: \u201cOur launch of the SigmaWave integrated DAS solution offers the borehole\nindustry a complete seismic acquisition system that is robust and provides\naccurate data in a ready-to-use format, for a wide range of applications and at\nan accessible cost. It will enable our clients to improve the description of\ntheir reservoirs to enhance recovery.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
