SunPetro Selects Sercel Nodes for India’s First 3C MEMS Nodal Seismic Survey

Sercel today announced it has delivered a contract to Khushi Oilfield Services, an Indian service company affiliated to Asian Energy Services Ltd, to supply 3,000 WiNG 3C nodes for a 4D monitor seismic survey to be acquired in Gujarat, western India, on behalf of Sun Petrochemicals Pvt. Ltd., a leading Indian oil and gas company. This project represents the first deployment of 3C MEMS nodal technology for a seismic survey in India. 

The WiNG 3C node acquires the most comprehensive and high‑definition seismic data for enhanced seismic imaging in complex geological environments. Leveraging QuietSeis® MEMS 3C technology, the solution provides high‑fidelity digital measurements that improve subsurface resolution, supporting accurate identification of deep exploration targets and effective reservoir monitoring.

In addition, WiNG’s compact, cable‑free nodal architecture enables high‑density acquisition with a reduced operational footprint. Its lightweight, autonomous design supports efficient survey execution and consistent performance in challenging terrain, enabling reliable data capture and supporting informed interpretation throughout the exploration and development process.

Satyesh Bhandari, Head of Exploration, SunPetro, said: “The deployment of WiNG 3C for this project marks an important milestone for seismic acquisition in India. The high‑fidelity data delivered by QuietSeis MEMS 3C nodes is expected to provide significantly greater accuracy, which will undoubtedly support improved reservoir characterization, enhance subsurface understanding, and most importantly help reduce drilling risk through more confident decisions, including the identification of bypassed oil. Beyond the technology itself, Sercel’s strong customer support and on‑the‑ground expertise have been key in ensuring smooth and efficient operations.”

Jérôme Denigot, CEO, Sercel, said: “We are delighted to support SunPetro on India’s first 3C seismic survey with our WiNG 3C node solution. This survey represents a major step forward in the country’s seismic exploration practices, highlighting the strong industry momentum towards advanced digital technologies that deliver more reliable, higher‑quality data for optimum seismic imaging with a reduced operational footprint. Adoption of 3C MEMS nodal technology opens new opportunities for efficient and confident exploration across India.”
