What once started in the lab is now being deployed in field trials!

We’re extremely proud to announce that our new sensors are being deployed at the Batta site in Százhalombatta, Hungary, as part of testing within the URGENT project.

During this campaign, our seismic nodes will be deployed across a survey area to capture extremely subtle ground vibrations, enabling detailed imaging of subsurface structures in noisy environments.

To generate the seismic signal for the survey, Seismic Mechatronics’ E-Vibe system will produce controlled seismic waves using its low-noise vibroseis truck, the Hurricane.

Together, the system will allow researchers to capture high-quality seismic datasets and improve subsurface imaging for geothermal exploration.

Together, the goal is to capture high-fidelity seismic data and evaluate how new sensing approaches can improve subsurface imaging for geothermal exploration.

These trials are part of the URGENT project, which aims to accelerate the development of geothermal energy to decarbonise heating and strengthen energy independence. Identifying viable reservoirs, however, requires sensing technologies capable of detecting extremely subtle subsurface signals.

The project has been funded under the #HorizonEurope programme of the European Commission.
