Sercel Sells Cable-free Seismic Acquisition System

Sercel, France, has sold a UNITE cable-free seismic acquisition system to PanAmerican Geophysical. Headquartered in Jersey, the Channel Islands, PanAmerican Geophysical is a full-service geophysical seismic acquisition company specialising in land and well seismic services throughout the Americas. The new order relates to the sale of a RAU-3 unit, the three-channel version of Sercel’s UNITE system.

RAU-3 UNITE units offer enhanced flexibility and can easily be configured to record either 1-C or 3-C analog data, while offering the main advantages of the UNITE system. The system’s unique high-speed, long-range wireless capability improves in-field quality control of data acquisition by providing wireless harvesting and real-time data transfer. 

This UNITE sale also represents the first purchase of Sercel equipment by PanAmerican, whose operating companies are leading providers in their local markets of Colombia, Canada and Argentina. The UNITE system is scheduled to be deployed on a seismic survey in the Amazon in late October.

Mark Farine, CEO, PanAmerican Geophysical, said his company is very pleased to place this order with Sercel for their first UNITE acquisition system. The ability for real-time quality control, the radio harvesting and the seamless integration into the Sercel 428XL were key drivers in their decision to purchase the UNITE System, Farine added. The security of the real-time quality control coupled with the automation afforded with radio harvesting will provide operational efficiency to PanAmerican, he concluded.

Pascal Rouiller, CEO at Sercel, stated that his company was glad that Sercel’s UNITE system had been selected by PanAmerican to equip their new crew. UNITE offers a high level of operational flexibility and quality control, which will ensure PanAmerican achieves success even in difficult terrain, Rouiller said.
