CGG: Sercel Launches GeoTag Underwater Positioning Solution - Quick Facts

(RTTNews) - Geoscience company CGG (CGG) announced Monday that Sercel has launched GeoTag, the acoustic positioning solution of choice for seabed seismic acquisition. GeoTag can be used to accurately position all types of Ocean Bottom Cable or OBC, Ocean Bottom Node and Transition Zone cable systems for seabed seismic surveys in water depths down to 500 meters.

The highly flexible and reliable GeoTag solution operates with the smallest acoustic positioning transponder available on the market. The transponders are attached to the seabed seismic equipment and interrogated by a vessel-based transceiver.

GeoTag is fully scalable for use on small to large seabed crews deploying up to 10,000 acoustic positioning devices.

Sercel now offers a complete, state-of-the-art acquisition solution for a wide range of seabed seismic surveys with the addition of GeoTag's acoustic positioning capability.
