INOVA introduces the G3i HD, the toughest, most flexible cable-based recording system available today. Built on a field-proven cabled architecture, the system helps E&P companies and seismic contractors overcome their operational challenges whether they are conducting the simplest or the most demanding acquisition programs across the globe. G3i HD can be used with analog geophones or in digital configuration using our single point Accuseis®️ sensor.
G3I HD supports HyperSource, the next generation of source communication comprising of several components that form a hybrid, wired and wireless communication network. A solution tailored towards high-productivity vibroseis operations.
In exclusion areas where terrain or regulations prohibit equipment layout, use G3i HD's NetLink to transmit point-to-point data wirelessly within 3km. No need to roll the spread or use two recorders; just point and connect -it’s that simple.
The power of iX1®️, G3i HD's intuitive system software, means observers can manage hybrid operations from transition zone to land, or from cabled to nodal systems, without the headache of merging datasets.
The G3i HD receiver line cable has the highest strength-to-weight ratio in the industry which makes the cables more durable.
It’s a mix-and-match kind of world, and seismic is no different. Digital and analog. Nodal and cabled. Transition zone and land. Dynamite and vibroseis or airgun.
These are common combinations during acquisition, but they introduce complexity in recording, QC, data management and operations. We’ve eliminated the frustration of hybrid ops by creating the G3i HD high-capacity, cable-based acquisition system powered by iX1 technology.
Simply put, G3i HD takes the guesswork and headache out of conducting onshore and transition zone surveys.
Love managing the spread and source QC in two separate systems? Or merging two datasets of varying formats to accommodate mixed nodal and cable acquisitions? We didn’t think so. All Inova recording systems are powered by a robust software called iX1 that consolidates source control and spread management into one simplified view for the Observer. It also enables single command and control over hybrid nodal and cable-based operations with two Inova systems working together on a survey (G3i HD + Hawk; or G3i HD + Quantum).
