Marine magnetometer for oil and gas surveys Geometrics Inc. announced the G-882, a marine magnetometer for shallow and deep oil and gas survey applications. Others uses include pipeline mapping, geologic surveys, oceanographic research, and marine environmental investigations. The instrument features high sensitivity, low noise, and high sample rates for detecting small objects (0.004nT/ Hz-RMS at up to 50 samples per second), a compact and stable design that allows deployment and operation by one person, automatic hemisphere switching, and worldwide operation. It comes with processing software that provides data profiling or contouring for in-field or laboratory analysis. Its cesium sensor is designed for extreme reliability and ruggedness, and never needs recalibration or factory realignment. The G-882 is designed to operate in any direction from small ships in shallow or deep water, and weighs only 50 lb with its 200-ft cable and sensor.
