Secure Connect Case Studies
Real-world remote monitoring and connected field operations using Secure Connect.
Remote Project Monitoring
Secure Connect gives seismic teams real-time visibility across field equipment, crews, production, movement, and operational status.
Terrex Seismic Delivers Australia's First SSC DS4 Operation Through SecureConnect
Client: Terrex Seismic
Location: Queensland, Australia
Technology: DS4, Secure Connect, Starlink, NavLink, SourceLink, UE3, Force3
Terrex Seismic completed Australia's first field deployment of SSC DS4 mode, using Secure Connect over Starlink to keep ten single-vibrator fleets connected with the recording crew and project team.
In an eight-hour production period, the operation achieved approximately 4,000 source points while maintaining live Time/Distance separation control, fleet visibility, production reporting, movement monitoring, and no-drive-zone awareness.
The connected workflow gave operators, recorders, supervisors, and managers a shared real-time view of production, routes, alerts, fleet status, and HSE controls from the field, office, camp, or mobile device.
DMT Takes the First European Leap on Secure Connect
Client: DMT Group
Location: Munich, Germany
Technology: Force3, Secure Connect, NavLink, SourceLink, SSC Dashboard, SC Comm, SSC Fleet Plan
DMT used Seismic Source technology on a large inner-city 3D geothermal vibroseis campaign across Munich, covering about 120,000 vibration points across an approximately 1,100 square kilometre survey area.
The connected operation used up to seven autonomous two-vibrator Force3 groups, with Secure Connect serving as the real-time communications backbone for source control, fleet visibility, QC, production tracking, field coordination, and HSE awareness.
The project demonstrates how recorder-less, connected source operations can hold planned production in a complex urban environment while keeping crews, equipment, permitting, safety, and production data in one shared operational picture.
