In 2020, Petroseismic Services, provider of geophysical services for hydrocarbon exploration in Colombia, conducted a 2D survey in Las Mercedes in the area of Catatumbo close to the Venezuelan border.
Located in a mountainous zone, the accessibility to seismic lines was made extremely difficult and even impossible by the terrain topology, the weather conditions and security constraints.
The land crew worked for 5 months in the area, conducting the survey with two recording trucks, each of them equipped with Sercel’s 508XT land seismic acquisition platform, including the Ethernet Radio Bridge 508 (ERB-508).
Find out more about the survey's operational and technical challenges and how Sercel's Ethernet Radio Bridge (ERB) proved to be a fabulous tool for overcoming the severe accessibility restrictions and adverse atmospheric conditions experienced during the project.
Thank you to Petroseismic Services for their cooperation in writing this informative case study.
