Sercel has supplied Smart Seismic Solutions with a comprehensive nodal seismic acquisition solution for multiple energy exploration projects in Europe.
The order equips Smart Seismic Solutions with an additional capability of 4,000 WiNG DFU land nodes and 450 GPR300 ocean bottom nodes and marks the first large-scale deployment of Sercel’s land and marine nodal technologies on the same seismic surveys.
Smart Seismic Solutions has already started deploying this mix of Sercel land and shallow-water nodes on geothermal surveys in Amsterdam, with additional projects planned across Europe in 2026. This milestone for seismic acquisition demonstrates the adaptability of Sercel’s technology to a wide range of terrain and operational complexities, enabling customers to tackle challenging exploration environments with confidence.
At the heart of this success is Sercel’s QuietSeis MEMS sensor technology, which delivers unmatched data quality and ensures full compatibility between land and ocean bottom node data. Thanks to a single, integrated digital architecture, seismic operators can deploy Sercel nodes seamlessly across onshore and offshore environments while continuing to achieve consistent high-quality data standards. This unified approach eliminates recording format discrepancies, simplifies processing workflows, and delivers uninterrupted data continuity from acquisition to interpretation — a clear advantage for complex hybrid onshore-offshore surveys.
Jerome Denigot, CEO of Sercel, said: “We are proud to support Smart Seismic Solutions with our advanced nodal solutions for its innovative seismic exploration projects. This contract marks the first time our land and ocean bottom nodes have been deployed on the same seismic survey, highlighting the versatility and robustness of our technology. By delivering consistent, high-quality data in a single format, we help our customers achieve optimum operational efficiency and accelerate their exploration goals.”
