Designing Geophysical Solutions

Techniques in the acquisition and processing of seismic data have advanced dramatically in recent years. The latest developments in 4D and high-end acquisition solutions, such as full azimuth and broadband, are widely available to the industry. However, to unlock the full potential of these data, it is essential to know when to use these techniques.

Specialized seismic survey consultation

WesternGeco provides specialist survey solutions to both major and independent operators. Applying its substantial depth and breadth of experience, WesternGeco helps clients overcome survey and data challenges using advanced, state-of-the-art tools.

Fit-for-purpose survey conception, planning and tendering

From determining standard acquisition parameters, through geometry proof and selection, into seismic experiment simulation (using 3D viscoelastic finite difference modeling), WesternGeco can be involved from survey conception, planning and tendering—or drafted in later to investigate and solve specific imaging challenges.

Expertise to optimize your operations

For operators who have data but are experiencing imaging issues, we have the technology, expertise, and resources to define the seismic data value and—crucially—recognize the point of diminishing returns to safeguard your investment.

WesternGeco applies its vast experience in investigating and resolving survey and data challenges and specific imaging challenges using

  • 1D and surface attribute analysis
  • 3D anisotropic ray tracing
  • ray and wave equation-based illumination analysis
  • 1D and 2D acoustic and elastic finite difference modeling
  • 3D acoustic and viscoelastic, anisotropic finite difference modeling
  • the OMNI 3D seismic survey design and modeling suite
  • the Petrel E&P software platform
  • Omega seismic data processing software.
