ION is a leading provider of imaging systems, software and services for towed streamer and seabed marine seismic acquisition. Our comprehensive toolkit of marine solutions provides the advanced systems to outfit modern towed streamer vessels and ocean bottom cable (OBC) crews and the expertise to design and implement 2D, 3D, 4D or full-wave seismic programs.
Known throughout the E&P industry for solid track records of innovation, field performance and reliability, ION technologies provide customers with the necessary confidence to safely and cost-effectively acquire the highest quality seismic data, even in complex imaging environments.
Our state-of-the-art products and services include:
While ION offers fully-integrated solutions for 2D and 3D marine seismic imaging, our latest technologies are focused on two high growth application areas:
- Full-wave imaging – acquiring multicomponent (and enhanced P-wave) data to improve subsurface image quality and image complex targets. ION's seismic acquisition platform for redeployable, full-wave data recording on the ocean bottom is VectorSeis Ocean (VSO)
- 4D imaging – obtaining timely, reliable information about fluid movements within a reservoir. The key to successful 4D imaging is repeatability. ION technologies and services are designed to maximize repeatability across successive, time-lapse surveys
