HOUSTON, TEXAS (Editors at Energy Analytics Institute, 3.Jun.2025, Words: 267) — Viridien unveiled Sercel Accel – the industry’s first onshore drop node solution – which could revolutionize land seismic data acquisition, at the EAGE annual conference and exhibition in Toulouse, France.
Accel is designed to overcome the challenges of complex, high-density seismic operations by accelerating survey deployment, increasing operational efficiency gains and consistently delivering the highest-quality data, Viridien said on 3 Jun. 2025 in an official statement.
“Accel sets a new standard for onshore seismic data acquisition by eliminating the need for nodes to be buried or planted in the field and thereby drastically reducing deployment time and labor requirements. With its unique droppable design, compact size, and integrated smart portable deployment system, Accel streamlines logistics, improves in-field agility and helps to reduce operational costs by up to 30% and significantly lower HSE risk,” Viridien said.
Accel is powered by the Sercel QuietSeis ® MEMS sensor, a long-standing benchmark of total data integrity. Built-in, field-proven Sercel pathfinder QC technology also provides near real-time quality control status monitoring and ensures reliable node retrieval.
Accel also brings a new level of flexibility to land seismic data acquisition with the introduction of modular Accel solution packs which combine nodes, software and services, according to Viridien.
“These are designed to meet wide-ranging survey needs, from initial exploration to large-scale mega-crews. With this approach, customers can tailor and scale their required Accel solution packs based on project duration, complexity and strategic goals, bringing unmatched agility to their field operations,” the company said.
