WesternGeco Desert Explorer vibrators can be equipped with rubber tracks (RTV). The use of rubber tracked, rather than wheeled vibrators, is advantageous in several ways:
- The increased hold down of these units improves the overall geophysical performance of the vibrator.
- In soft sand, production is increased due to the ability of the RTV to "move-up" between vibrator positions more rapidly thanks to improved traction.
- In rough terrain, the RTV can maintain a straighter line, minimizing detours due to obstacles.
- In high sand dunes, the RTV has a greater capacity to climb steep slopes. This means that the amount of bulldozing required for line clearance to provide access tracks for the vibrators is dramatically reduced, minimizing the environmental impact and reducing overall acquisition time.
