Sugar Land, Texas-based Wireless Seismic Inc. said on Oct. 27 that India-based Asian Oilfield Services Ltd. deployed more than 13,000 channels of Wireless Seismic’s radio-based RT Systems 2 seismic data. The data have been used for the past six months on the Taza project in the Kurdistan region of Iraq, the company added.
Asian Oilfield Services was contracted by Oil Search, which operates the Taza Block, to conduct a 576 square mile 3-D seismic survey with the real-time, cable-free system. Data were acquired into a recording spread of more than 11,000 active channels with real-time data transmission from a live patch of 6,400 channels.
“We find RT System 2 to be highly adaptable and capable of acquiring data seamlessly through the complicated populated areas and over the rough mountain terrain that characterizes the block,” said Rahul Talwar, CEO of Asian Oilfield Services, adding that the system is "readily available" after daily startup tests on equipment.
Wireless Seismic is currently exhibiting the RT System 2 at the Society of Exploration Geophysicists' annual conference in Denver, Oct. 26 to 29.
