Another field trial, another challenging environment, another step forward!
Following our deployment in Hungary, our MEMS-based seismic nodes have been deployed at the Konin site in Poland as part of the URGENT project.
This time, the challenge is different.
While geothermal water is known to be present, uncertainty remains around the continuity of the reservoir. To help reduce that uncertainty, project partners are conducting a 2D seismic survey aimed at improving subsurface understanding and identifying fracture zones and faults.
Working alongside Seismic Mechatronics BV, our nodes have been deployed to capture extremely subtle ground vibrations enabling high-quality seismic measurements in noisy environments and at the scale required for deep imaging.
For us, field trials like these are where our MEMS technology proves its value outside the lab, under demanding conditions, and across different geological settings.
Our deployment team, Matthijs Heeres, Aran Dokoupil and Artur Moj, also got to experience how the compact size of our new nodes can improve deployment efficiency, making large-scale seismic acquisition faster and more practical.
This is the second of three major field trials within the URGENT project, each bringing new challenges and new opportunities to validate advanced sensing technologies for the future of geothermal energy.
Next stop: Belgium!
