SETTING THE INDUSTRY STANDARD
ION is the leading provider of highly reliable vibroseis vehicles and energy source controllers. Our years of experience in designing and manufacturing dynamite blasters, coupled with ION's Pelton vibrator controller technology, contractors and oil & gas companies can be assured that their seismic data will be of the highest integrity.
Pioneers of Source Controllers
ION's Pelton group pioneered source control technology when the Vibroseis energy source method was first introduced in the late 1960s. That same spirit of innovation continues today with the industry standard-setting Vib Pro and Shot Pro II source controllers.
Pelton's source controllers deliver improved crew productivity, maximum safety and the flexibility to integrate with the most widely used acquisition systems, vibrators and detonators on the market today.
Vib Pro - Accurate Vibrator Sweeps in all Environments
ION's Vib Pro, with its field proven reliability and ability to generate accurate sweeps, whether operating in sand or hard surface environments, sets the standard for vibrator source controllers in the industry today. It remains the most used controller in the industry.
Vib Pro's system architecture supports reliable, highly productive operations. Specific features of the system's architecture and telemetry system enable:
- Accurate fundamental ground force control
- Optional integrated GPS
- Redundant storage of QC data eliminates missed sweep information
- Contractors to manage multiple vibrator fleet operations
- Parameters to be configured from the recording truck
Vib Pro features enable seismic contractors to generate highly accurate source signatures demanded by oil & gas companies in order to deliver seismic images of the highest quality.
Shot Pro II - Improved Dynamite Crew Productivity with Maximum Safety
Shot Pro II is ION's latest source control system for dynamite surveys. It is designed to eliminate misfires, ensure improved productivity, lower crew operating costs and maximize safety for seismic crew personnel. Key product features include:
- Single source encoder and decoder configuration
- Integrated Global Positioning System (GPS) for improved navigation to offset shot points
- Easy transition between vibroseis, dynamite and airgun operations
- Encrypted fire commands and electric impulse protection to ensure safe detonation of the desired shot hole
- Precise synchronization and detection of the detonation, along with confirmation of the detonation and up-hole signals
Shot Pro II offers contractors greater control over infield shot point navigation and reduces HSE exposure with an improved safety design to prevent unintentional detonation.  |
