ION is one of the leaders in advanced seismic data processing for challenging onshore environments. The foundation of our technology is two of the leading names in complex data processing – GX Technology (GXT) and AXIS Geophysics. We have the tools, expertise, and global experience to take on the most difficult land imaging projects. Key services we offer in the land environment include:
Statics and data conditioning, especially in areas with challenging near-surface velocity anomalies such as desert or Arctic regions.
Azimuthal velocity analysis to account for subsurface anisotropy which causes seismic velocities to vary according to compass direction (or azimuth).
Fracture detection that integrates seismic, engineering, and geologic data to model the connectivity of naturally-fractured reservoirs and optimize drilling programs and field development plans.
Full-wave processing, including vector filters to remove source-generated noise, tools to deliver higher bandwidth P-wave signals from single-point sensors like VectorSeis, and algorithms and workflows for processing converted wave data.
In addition to the above, we offer a variety of pre-stack migration solutions in both the time (PreSTM) and depth (PreSDM) domains, which are applied according to the imaging objectives agreed upon with our oil & gas company customers.
