Sercel has signed a contract with a marine geophysical company for the deployment of its Tuned Pulse Source (TPS), a low-frequency broadband marine seismic source. The geophysical company is deploying the TPS solution to acquire an ultralong-offset ocean-bottom node (OBN) survey in the Gulf of Mexico, which started in November.
‘TPS is Sercel’s response to the industry’s need for an enhanced low-frequency marine seismic source that produces a broader bandwidth and has a reduced environmental impact,’ said Sercel. ‘This solution delivers exceptionally low-frequency content and the highest amplitude signals at frequencies below 3 Hz. These are crucial for building accurate velocity models with the latest elastic full-waveform inversion technology, when targeting complex geologies and deep targets with long offsets.’
Jerome Denigot, CEO, Sercel said: ‘During its deployment on multiple OBN projects over the last two years, TPS has clearly demonstrated greater operational efficiency and reduced environmental impact on marine life compared to other low-frequency sources, while delivering the most accurate data.’
