    Adnoc, Total collaborate on new oil and gas search

    (MENAFN) The Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (Adnoc), in collaboration with France's Total, is to organize drones and unmanned vehicles to collect 3D seismic data as it enlarges its search for new oil and gas resources throughout the emirate.

    The technology of deploying seismic sensors will be used for the first time in the region in the search for new oil and gas resources.

    Announcing a pilot project using Total's Metaphysics Exploration Technologies Integrated System (METIS), the world's first automated seismic acquisition system, Adnoc said thousands of sensors would be deployed by air using a fleet of drones. The sensors would later be retrieved by unmanned ground vehicles.

    Chief technology officer at Adnoc, Dr Alan Nelson, said: "METIS is a ground-breaking automated technology with the potential to conduct seismic surveys in harsh environments, such as the desert, which are tough on people and equipment. The technology has been identified by us during RDPETRO 2018 and this collaboration demonstrates our commitment to using groundbreaking technologies, throughout our operations, to unlock the opportunities of the 4th industrial age."
