Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document discusses the challenges and solutions in downhole seismic acquisition, focusing on 3D and 4D imaging and permanent reservoir monitoring. Sercel's experience since the 1970s with VSP tools is highlighted, emphasizing the GeoWave® II, SlimWave®, and MaxiWave® systems designed for large VSP, cross-well, and microseismic downhole arrays.

Product Specifications
  • GeoWave® II: Capable of continuous acquisition at up to 400°F (205°C) and 30,000 psi (2,070 bar). It supports synchronized acquisition with surface spread and multi-well acquisition.
  • SlimWave®: Features an ultra-slim design for access to slim holes and live pressurized wells, with high sensitivity and low noise.
  • MaxiWave®: Designed for large downhole seismic surveys, offering high productivity with up to 100 levels at a 2 ms sampling rate.

Operational Flexibility
The tools are compatible with various well types, including deviated and horizontal wells, and can be deployed using standard wirelines, tractors, or coiled tubing. They offer real-time pressure and temperature measurement capabilities.

Software and Control Systems
  • WaveControl: A comprehensive software package for data acquisition and quality control.
  • ToolsPilot: Manages downhole hardware control and telemetry.
  • WaveStack: Provides field quick-look processing for VSP data.
  • MultiWellLink: Allows real-time management of multiple systems from a single position.

Additional Features
The document also details the high channel count, compact design, and the ability to connect up to 100 tools in a 3-C configuration. The tools are designed for extreme working conditions, with high sensitivity geophones and a strict validation process.

Conclusion
Sercel's downhole seismic tools offer a comprehensive solution for seismic acquisition, providing high-quality data, operational flexibility, and advanced software support, making them suitable for a wide range of geological and operational contexts.

Today's major challenges for downhole seismic acquisition include 3D and 4D imaging around deeper wells and permanent reservoir monitoring in production/injection areas. Current major constraints include dramatic reduction in acquisition time for cost effective operation in increasingly complex and harsh environments. Since the 1970's, SERCEL has accumulated considerable experience with VSP tools based on proven and successful technologies. GeoWave® II, SlimWave® and MaxiWave® systems, all offering real time telemetry, have been designed to address the needs of large VSP, cross-well and microseismic...
