Compared to conventional 3D programs, 4D programs are more complex to design. The key to 4D seismic is repeatability, and the keys to repeatability are owned by ION. Our Concept Systems team delivers a comprehensive portfolio of services to measure and assure the quality of the 4D acquisition.
Given the information intensity of time-lapse (4D) seismic programs, Concept Systems has channeled significant resources into 4D planning and data management. The 4D services portfolio includes a range of field-based and in-house services:
4D solutions – Involved in the design and data management of nearly 100 time-lapse streamer surveys, Concept Systems has developed software and service solutions that cover the entire 4D workflow. Offerings range from feasibility assessments through design and planning, with a focus on repeatability assurance, and on into the management and quality assurance of data streams during field acquisition and processing.
Illumination studies - High speed illumination analyses for survey design, PreSDM imaging and other complex imaging applications enable effective feasibility analysis and survey optimization.
