Sercel launches its first DAS seismic solution, SigmaWave

20/03/2019

Sercel announced today 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’s advanced range of downhole seismic acquisition systems.

  • SigmaWave is fully integrated with Sercel’s existing downhole seismic tools and enables continuous, real-time seismic measurements along the entire length of a fiber optic cable. Whether by retrievable or permanent deployment, it is now possible to visualize and monitor the well in real time and instantly generate SEG-Y files. With unique features, such as user-selectable gauge length, acquiring the highest quality seismic data, without compromise, is now possible. 
     
    Seamless integration of Fotech’s cutting-edge fiber optic monitoring technology into Sercel’s market-leading seismic acquisition systems is a natural fit of best-in-class solutions and heralds a significant step-change in data quality and productivity levels. 
     
    Chris Shannon, Fotech Solutions CEO, said: “SigmaWave represents the best of two industry leaders and demonstrates how, together, we continue to push the boundaries of innovation in upstream applications – with the opportunity to enable the best of DAS technology for the seismic industry.” 
     
    Pascal Rouiller, Sercel CEO, said: “Our launch of the SigmaWave integrated DAS solution offers the borehole industry a complete seismic acquisition system that is robust and provides accurate data in a ready-to-use format, for a wide range of applications and at an accessible cost. It will enable our clients to improve the description of their reservoirs to enhance recovery.”
