Designed with reinforced hardware to withstand the complex challenges of operating in shallow water environments, the new 508^XT transition zone system also benefits from Sercel’s unique fault-tolerant X-Tech™ cross-technology architecture, featuring local storage and automatic rerouting to maximize survey productivity. With its 100% real-time monitoring capability it also brings users peace of mind that operations are running smoothly.

Pascal Rouiller, Sercel CEO, said: “By adapting our 508^XT technology for transition zone environments, Sercel has made another step forward in our strategy to meet customer needs for a single seismic acquisition system that can operate in any terrain and any configuration. The 508^XT is undoubtedly the most efficient and powerful seismic acquisition technology available today that can offer crews the guarantee of recording the highest-quality seismic data, regardless of terrain conditions.”
