Equipped with three QuietSeis® MEMS accelerometers and a high performance hydrophone the MicrOBSNT is a 4C node that is capable of operating in water depths down to 6,000 meters for periods of up to 50 days between battery re-charges.
MicrOBSNT is ideally suited for hybrid surveys when used in combination with seismic streamers or for sparse OBN surveys.
A key advantage when compared to conventional geophone based OBN, MicrOBSNT is capable of accurately recording the low frequency signals necessary for velocity modeling.
