PARIS, France — Viridien's Sensing & Monitoring business line has sold and delivered a GPR300 ocean-bottom nodal system for about $20 million.

The technology will be deployed by an unnamed company on an upcoming seismic survey project in the North Sea.

According to Viridien, Sercel GPR nodes’ QuietSeis MEMS technology provides a broadband signal sensing capability, fidelity and quiet performance beyond the capabilities of conventional OBN equipment for subsurface imaging.

The GPR300 can operate in shallow-water depths down to 300 m, and its lightweight design is said to facilitate manual handling, deployment and retrieval.

Note, CGG recently rebranded and changed its corporate name to Viridien.
