Sercel has announced that it recently supplied a new set of high-performance land seismic acquisition and source solutions to a major North African geophysical contractor, strengthening their partnership and further supporting the expansion of seismic survey operations in the region.

As part of the contract, Sercel supplied 75,000 DSU1-508 digital sensors, increasing the contractor’s total installed base to more than 350,000. In addition, 24 new Nomad 90 Neo broadband vibrators were delivered to equip an additional land seismic crew.

With this latest delivery, the contractor has reached a significant milestone, with a total equipment capability of more than half a million 508XT land acquisition system channels and 64 Nomad 90 Neo vibrators, significantly increasing its ability to conduct large-scale 3D surveys in complex terrain.

To optimize survey performance, Sercel has also provided the contractor with a set of value-added support services. Nomad productivity is boosted with the Nomad Connect Asset Optimization service, providing real-time insights into fleet performance and a complete overview of vibrator configurations. The Vibrator Auto-Guidance functionality also enhances operational accuracy and productivity in the field.

These additional features, combined with the unique DSU1-508 single-sensor design and high-performance MEMS technology, ensure that the contractor is equipped with the most advanced broadband seismic acquisition solutions available to deliver the highest-quality seismic data in challenging environments.

Jérôme Denigot, CEO of Sercel, said: “We are pleased to continue building on our long-standing collaboration with this major North African customer. From project planning to delivery and field support, our team remains committed to providing the most advanced geophysical technology and services available. This latest milestone confirms Sercel’s position as the preferred technology partner for complex, large-scale seismic acquisition projects and highlights the growing demand for field-proven solutions that meet the evolving challenges of onshore exploration in North Africa and beyond.”
