Advancing Ocean Bottom Node surveys through autonomy

In hydrocarbon exploration, innovation is essential for improving efficiency and sustainability, particularly in node operations. By incorporating Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUV) and utilizing the latest machine learning advancements, ocean bottom…

Shifts in the seismic acquisition space

“In the past, we as a provider of OBN and streamer technology would mostly liaise with seismic acquisition companies; our exposure to oil companies was very limited,” says Gaetan Mellier,…

Paleogeography and business

“The production of paleogeographic maps is an economically useful exercise for consultancy companies such as ours”, says Andy Horbury from Cambridge Carbonates. His company has been involved in constructing, editing,…

Advances in survey design

The traditional model of survey design uses a survey design tool to create geometry which is passed to a different program – often Excel – to estimate cost. Iterating to…

Developments in seismic data processing techniques

Dedicated software programs employ several techniques, including non-linear traveltime tomography, land-specific FWI, bending ray Kirchhoff migration, anisotropic depth imaging, and horizon-consistent velocity modeling, to achieve obtaining accurate earth models.  The…

From oil and gas to geothermal

Now known as S3 Smart Seismic Solutions, I met with Jean-Baptiste Chalvidan and Patrick Robert at the EAGE Annual in Vienna last week. “Compared to the years with CGG, where…

Geothermal development programs in Alaska

Alaska’s Mount Spurr and Mount Augustine are two active stratovolcanoes closely monitored by the Alaska Volcano Observatory (AVO). Despite their geothermal potential, these volcanoes have yet to be fully explored…
