    Helium / H2 Natural

    The exploitation of Helium or natural hydrogen presents several challenges. First, the precise detection of reserves is a major issue. Geophysical tools must be adjusted to differentiate hydrogen from other natural gases present underground.

      • OVERVIEW

      The exploration of Helium or natural hydrogen is based on techniques inspired by the oil and gas industry, with specific adaptations. Among the methods used, seismic exploration plays a key role in locating underground hydrogen reservoirs. A major advancement in this exploration lies in the use of three-component (3C) seismic sensors. These sensors can record seismic waves along three axes (vertical, north-south, and east-west), thus providing better resolution of underground structures.

      Fonts-Bouillants with 45.8

      Specialized in the exploration and production of eco-responsible industrial gases, the company 45-8 Energy conducted geophysical prospecting operations in France to map gas fields with a view to produce helium, a scarce but highly sought-after resource in Europe. Our WiNG land nodal acquisition solution was used for this seismic acquisition survey

      WiNG is a wireless seismic and fully integrated nodal land acquisition system designed with a single data collection platform to manage operations more easily and efficiently. This cable-free seismic nodal solution integrates Sercel’s best performing and most sensitive broadband sensor ever, QuietSeis®, to acquire high precision seismic data. The WiNG node or DFU (Digital Field Unit), has been designed to minimize transportation & storage costs. With its compact & light design (855g), the DFU can record seismic data for up to 50 days.

      An additional version, the AFU (Analog Field Unit) is also available for use with geophone strings.
