Profocus and Argus SourceQC pick up eighth source vessel

In a little less than a year since its release, Argus SourceQC is currently operating on seven source vessels and just landed the eighth. The rapid uptake in the market is owing to the system’s reliability, ease of use and cost saving attributes.

Argus SourceQC is a ​real-time, ​non-intrusive QC ​software that warns the operator of anomalies or changes in hydrophone air gun signatures. It was specifically developed for observers and gun mechanics with the aim to quickly and efficiently detect air leaks, electrical leakage, drop outs, auto-fires, misfires, loose hardware, etc.​ ​ The latest version is a Beta release of the SourceQC Autopilot, including automatic data QC and alarm notification with no need for manual monitoring. Remote operations from a mother vessel or an onshore office is also available.

The system is becoming an indispensable tool for efficient marine source operations, saving down time and optimizing crew size.

inApril subsidiary Profocus Systems launches real-time seismic source QC

Due to the growth of the Ocean Bottom Seismic market and corresponding dedicated seismic source operations, the need for a more streamlined way to monitor on board source operations has become apparent. Legacy geophysical solutions have proven to demand excess resources and competencies which are not necessarily onboard nor needed for todays source operations. A regular theme from source operators and end users of data is that source anomalies are being missed in real-time, resulting in increased costs and inefficient operations for all parties.

With this in mind and in collaboration with source operators, Profocus Systems developed Argus SourceQC, a “light weight” real time Source QC system that is efficient from a cost, set up and operational perspective. It was specifically developed for observers and gun mechanics, enabling them to quickly and efficiently detect air leaks, electrical leakage, drop outs, autofires, misfires, loose hardware, etc.
