HOREX® pilot project, handled by Mantle8 a French geoscience-based company, is located in the French Pyrenees mountains where natural hydrogen occurrences have been detected. A significant exploration in April 2025 has been realized to accurately map exploitable resources and develop the appropriate extraction technologies.

Mantle8 company was using the brand new DFU-3C part of WiNG solution from Sercel to explore, develop and test technological solutions to unlock scalable exploration at the upstream stage of the natural hydrogen industry.

The DFU-3C is the most compact and  lightweight 3 components node on the market.

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.
