Oil Patch Bits: SAExploration orders $14 million wireless GSX system

Geospace Technologies Corp. said Nov. 5 that it has received a $14 million order from SAExploration Canada LTD for a 10,000-channel GSX wireless recording system. Delivery of this system to SAE is expected to occur in December 2012 and the system will initially be deployed in Canada.

“We committed an exhaustive effort to identify a wireless system that was the right fit for our company. Our goal was to provide our expanding client base with a system suited to a wide variety of climates.

We are very excited to be working with Geospace Technologies and look forward to a relationship that provides for continuous improvement,” said Darin Silvernagle, SAE executive vice president Technology.
