The starting point for any successful seismic imaging project is a safe and well controlled energy source. As 4D becomes a routine reservoir management tool, the fidelity and repeatability of the energy source is more important than ever.
ION's comprehensive source system includes:
DigiSHOT® digital source controller delivers highly repeatable source signatures that produce high-quality images. Field proven in a growing number of installations, DigiSHOT maximizes energy delivery to the subsurface and reduces operating costs. Deployed using simple, low cost umbilical support cables, DigiSHOT is an image-enhancing solution that is becoming a vital element of 4D time lapse programs, like BP's Valhall project.
Sleeve Gun source ensures 4D repeatability with its signature reliability and spherical bubble. Sleeve Gun maintains a low cost of ownership backed by an industry-leading 500,000 shot warranty and improves HSE by enabling retrieval and deployment without pressurization.
To further improve the quality and utility of the seismic image, ION aims to reduce errors due to shot cycle variability by further integrating its advanced marine technology.
