BGP buys Sercel’s new seabed nodal solution

Sercel, CGG’s seismic equipment business, has made its first major sale of the recently launched GPR300 seabed nodal solution to geophysical services provider BGP.

The sale includes 18,000 nodes that will be deployed in Q4 2021 on a large-scale, long-term, multi-vessel operation in the Middle East region.

Designed for seismic acquisition in shallow water environments down to 300 meters, the new-generation GPR300 nodal solution was developed in partnership with BGP, Sercel said.

“We are delighted by this first major GPR300 sale to BGP. Once again, our QuietSeis sensor gives us a significant competitive advantage,” said Emmanuelle Dubu, Sercel CEO.

“Sercel is the first and only supplier to offer the market an OBN solution with an integrated broadband digital sensor that delivers both ultra-quiet performance and true broadband data.”

Sercel launched the GPR300 nodal seismic acquisition solution at the beginning of June.

The new solution joined the company’s GPRNT range which includes GPR1500 for high-end deepwater subsurface imaging.
