VectorSeis Ocean
VectorSeis Ocean (VSO) is a revolutionary system for acquiring full-wave (multicomponent) data from the seabed. By integrating several proprietary ION technologies, including the award-winning VectorSeis digital, full-wave sensor, VSO delivers step-change improvements in image quality and operational productivity compared to conventional ocean-bottom cable (OBC) systems.
VSO customers are experiencing exceptional results, including:
IMPROVED IMAGE QUALITY - see data example
- Enhanced high frequency response - see shallow data example
- Bandwidth from 1.5 Hz to Nyquist
- Increased effective dynamic range for deep imaging
- Best available vector fidelity - self-orienting sensor eliminates gimbals and costly ROV’s
- Patented cable termination design
- Reduces cable strumming noise (~20dB)
- True point receiver response
- Self burying, stabilized sensor node package ensures optimum coupling
- Elimination of jumper cables eradicates receiver movement during rolling operations
REDUCED ACQUISITION COSTS
- Buoy based recorder eliminates the need for a recording vessel
- Elimination of jumper cables reduces patch roll time
FASTER TURNAROUND
- Final navigation merged seismic data available within hours of the last shot
IMPROVED SAFETY PERFORMANCE
- Reduced field crew
- Fully automated deployment and recovery
