2D/3D HR Seismic Equipment

2D/3D HR seismic equipment for controlled marine acquisition.

A complete spread for high-resolution seismic recording, streamer operation, source control, field QC, processing, and interpretation support.

2D HR seismic spread

Three equipment groups support recording, source control, and seismic data workflow.

Based on the 2D HR seismic brochure, THI's marine seismic spread is arranged around recording hardware, source equipment, and processing software so acquisition, QC, and interpretation can move as one controlled workflow.

Equipment organised by the way the seismic work is executed offshore.

01

Seismic Recording

Recording backbone for controlled 2D HR marine acquisition.

The recording spread is arranged to receive streamer data, synchronize acquisition timing, digitize auxiliary channels, and secure field data during offshore operation.

Recording System

Sercel Seal - 428

Shipboard recording and acquisition control system used as the main interface between streamer data, navigation timing, auxiliary channels, and data storage.

DXCU-428 Seismic ControllerStreamer interface with built-in high-voltage power supply, local or remote operation, deck safety connection, and GPS reference propagation.

LCI-428 Acquisition UnitInterface between navigation and Seal 428, supporting physical T0 input, auxiliary trace management, and synchronization through GPS time reference.

AXCU-428 Auxiliary Channel UnitDigitizes analog auxiliary channels for source, vessel, and acquisition support signals, with expandable channel capacity.

GPS Time ServerProvides acquisition timing so streamers, navigation, and source operation stay synchronized during continuous acquisition.

NAS StorageDedicated field storage for acquired records, QC transfer, backup handling, and data delivery preparation.

Streamer Control

Bird Controller

Streamer bird controller equipment

Streamer control equipment supports cable depth control, heading monitoring, and streamer behavior checks while the spread is towed behind the vessel.

LIU II Dual Channel Bird ControllerLine interface and control unit for streamer-mounted devices, supporting communication between the operator system and bird control lines.
