Through its GMG and Concept Systems subsidiaries, ION has provided seismic survey design and consulting services on more than 100 seismic projects for more than 50 client companies worldwide. Our projects have included survey design and operations analyses for land, marine and transition zone surveys. By utilizing a wide range of seismic acquisition technologies and design types, our survey design experts are able to tailor their approach and optimize their designs to the unique geophysical and operational problems of each project.
We have provided design and operations services in virtually all land and marine environments worldwide, including forests, jungles, Arctic, desert, mountains, obstructed cultural and agricultural areas, deep water, shallow water, transition zone, open water and producing fields. Our services encompass 2D, 3D, and time-lapse (4D) applications.
Having worked with numerous oil & gas companies and seismic contractors that each employ unique acquisition techniques and technologies, ION’s geophysicists are in a position to compare “best practices” currently in use in the industry. These insights enable our design professionals to recommend the tools and techniques that will deliver the optimal geophysical, operational, and economic solution.
ION’s survey design methodology optimizes surface acquisition geometry, whether onshore or offshore, to deliver the best possible image at the lowest possible cost. Our team of recognized survey design experts, employing the latest seismic modeling software, will help to rationalize and manage the increasingly complex tasks involved in planning a seismic survey using the latest acquisition technologies, including full-wave imaging.
