Sercel has launched Sentinel HR, a high-resolution solid streamer designed to meet the specific imaging needs of shallow-target applications as well as high-resolution 3D (HR3D) seismic surveys for detailed mapping of geological features.
The Sentinel HR streamer has been developed with a close channel separation of 3.125 m.
Recent enhancements available in Sercel’s Seal 428 marine seismic recorder allow a higher channel count, enabling up to 6 km of Sentinel HR to be deployed with full data and power redundancy to ensure non-stop acquisition.
The Sentinel HR can provide marine mammal monitoring when combined with QuietSea, Sercel’s passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) system, which is integrated into the seismic streamers.
Pascal Rouiller , Sercel CEO, said: “Sercel’s Sentinel HR is a robust new member of our Sentinel product family that will help to achieve a better understanding of subsurface geology for a broad range of industries. Built on field-proven technology recognized by the global seismic industry, the Sentinel HR is a cost-effective and powerful tool for both exploration and field development that will meet the intrinsic requirements of a wide range of specific shallow-target market applications.”
