Pakistan’s Oil & Gas Development Company Limited (OGDC) has selected Sercel’s wireless nodal seismic acquisition technology for a new 3D seismic survey in southern Pakistan.
Sercel, part of Viridien, announced the sale and delivery of 12,000 WiNG wireless nodal units to OGDC, Pakistan’s largest national oil and gas company. According to Sercel, the contract marks OGDC’s first adoption of land nodal seismic acquisition technology and is intended to support a 3D seismic survey across challenging onshore terrain.
The WiNG system uses broadband QuietSeis MEMS sensor technology, designed to support high-fidelity seismic acquisition and meet the requirements of modern exploration surveys. The contract also includes 2,600 additional WiNG AFU analog nodes, which will allow OGDC to deploy nodes on buoys in difficult-to-access environments such as marshes and lakes.
For OGDC, the deployment represents a step toward more flexible and efficient seismic operations. Dr Khalid Amin Khan, Head of Exploration at OGDC, said the collaboration would strengthen the company’s ability to operate across challenging terrains while improving data quality. OGDC Managing Director and CEO Ahmed Hayat Lak described the partnership as part of the company’s commitment to technological advancement and to unlocking Pakistan’s hydrocarbon potential with greater precision and speed.
Sercel CEO Jérôme Denigot said the company was proud to support OGDC’s first deployment of nodal technology for seismic operations in Pakistan, describing WiNG as a flexible and robust system for acquiring reliable, high-quality data across different survey conditions.
