Full-wave imaging requires new mindsets, approaches, and technologies. Given that the full-wave seismic era is only now emerging, many oil & gas companies and contractors require additional consultation and training on how to apply full-wave imaging techniques and assure the success of their imaging projects.
As the technology leader in full-wave imaging solutions, ION offers our clients the opportunity to have our survey design, acquisition and processing experts work closely with their geoscientists to transfer acquired knowledge in all stages of the full-wave seismic workflow.
In the feasibility and design stage, ION experts work with client personnel to transfer best practices in areas that include:
- Testing the feasibility of full-wave approaches
- Identifying optimal full-wave survey designs
- Selecting acquisition technology and field acquisition parameters
In preparation for field acquisition, ION personnel work closely with seismic contractors to ensure their operational processes and quality control techniques will align with the original project objectives specified by their oil & gas company customers.
Once the data is acquired, our GX Technology group stands ready to image the full-wave seismic data using state-of-the-art algorithms and processing workflows. In certain cases, we also provide training services to our contractor customers so that they can optimize the measurements taken by ION's digital, full-wave VectorSeis sensor.
