CGGVeritas has safely completed another successful project, offshore Gabon, showcasing its superior broadband marine solution, BroadSeisTM. The project, one of seven since its launch in June, was deployed with Total and achieved a bandwidth of more than 5 octaves (2.5 – 150 Hz).

Benoît Ribadeau-Dumas, Executive Vice President, Marine, CGGVeritas, said: "To date CGGVeritas has seen tremendous interest in BroadSeis. The advantages of high-definition broadband using this unique solution are becoming increasingly obvious. It delivers the highest bandwidth images available today and the additional low-frequency signal below 5 Hz provides greater penetration and hence better signal-to-noise ratio for deep targets. The very high-resolution images achieved by BroadSeis have been able to reveal important geologic features such as thin beds, stratigraphic traps and potential shallow hazards that were not visible in conventional data."
