EGG - Exploration Gravity Gradiometer
The EGG installed in the stabilised platform undergoing simulated flight shakesBlueQube is already the most advanced gravity gradiometry answer available today. However, we believe the technology can deliver even more.
Since its inception, ARKeX has continued to invest heavily in developing innovative, new gravity gradiometry technology. The next generation of device, the Exploration Gravity Gradiometer (EGG) has been designed and built by ARKeX, as a physical reflection of our commitment to furthering the science and delivering the technology required to meet tomorrow's exploration challenges in the Oil, Gas and mining industries.
The Technology
An evolution of technology originally developed for the European Space Agency, the EGG has been re-engineered for terrestrial-based applications.
The EGG utilizes the concept of Super Conductivity and operates at 4 degrees above absolute zero (-269°C), which allows greater sensitivity and stability. With its unique technical properties and innovative design the EGG sets new standards in gravity gradiometry technology.
Its target sensitivity is almost an order of magnitude more sensitive than current available systems. The increased resolution will provide unparalleled data quality allowing explorationists to image with greater clarity in even more geologic settings.
The EGG is undergoing final testing in our Cambridge laboratory ahead of full trial deployment and commercial release.
