Project Overview
Carbon America’s Project Eos, a collaboration with the Colorado School of Mines, Carbon America, and Los Alamos National Laboratory, is a three-year feasibility study. The project aims to develop a carbon storage site near Pueblo, Colorado, to reduce industrial emissions. NodalSeismic, a leading provider of seismic data acquisition, is conducting geophysical exploration for the project using SmartSolo, a cutting-edge nodal recording system.
SmartSolo: Advanced Nodal Recording Technology
SmartSolo is a lightweight, self-contained nodal recording system designed for efficient seismic exploration. Its key features make it particularly suitable for large-scale and complex projects like Project Eos:
- Easy Deployment and Retrieval: Ideal for use in challenging geological settings.
- High Adaptability: Suitable for diverse environments, including difficult terrains.
