ION is a leading provider of imaging systems, software and survey design services for towed streamer and seabed marine seismic acquisition. Our comprehensive toolkit of marine solutions allows for one-stop shopping when outfitting modern streamer vessels and ocean bottom cable (OBC) crews, or when designing and implementing 2D, 3D, 4D or full-wave seismic programs.
Our marine offerings are underpinned by two of the most trusted names in the seismic business – DigiCOURSE and Concept Systems. Known throughout the E&P industry for solid track records of innovation, field performance and reliability, DigiCOURSE and Concept Systems technologies provide ION customers with the necessary confidence to cost-effectively acquire seismic data of the highest quality, even in complex imaging environments.
Our state-of-the-art products and services include:
While ION offers fully-integrated solutions for 2D and 3D marine seismic imaging, our latest technologies are focused on two high growth application areas:
- Full-wave imaging – acquiring multicomponent (and enhanced P-wave) data to improve subsurface image quality and image complex targets. ION’s seismic acquisition platform for redeployable, full-wave data recording on the ocean bottom is VectorSeis Ocean (VSO).
- 4D imaging – obtaining timely, reliable information about fluid movements within a reservoir. The key to successful 4D imaging is repeatability. ION technologies and services are designed to maximize repeatability across successive, time-lapse surveys. Concept Systems offers a suite of software and services to design and assure the quality of 4D programs. DigiCOURSE source control and streamer positioning and control systems ensure field operations proceed as planned.
