Quality Management in Seismic Data Processing

Technical Leadership and Collaborative Workflows for Complex Thrust-Belt Environments

Focused Expertise in Complex Structural Settings

Our focus on thrust belt areas allows us to center our energy on the data-processing parameters that have the most significant impact on your individual exploration problems. We collaborate closely with your interpreting team to ensure that we concentrate on your exploration problems, and we will show strong leadership in the technical aspects of the project.

Managing Data Challenges in Thrust-Belt Seismic Processing

Complex Thrust Tectonics

Extensive experience in compressional tectonic settings.

Collaborate with interpreters to understand geologic complexities.

Thorough approach to managing velocities and statics.

Weathering and Elevation Corrections

Migrate from surface in both time and depth prestack migrations.

Test multiple first-arrival statics solutions to ensure the best image given the near-surface velocity changes.

Prestack time migration developed to manage large velocity changes.

Use surface geology maps where available to direct near-surface depth model building.

Shot-Generated Noise Management

Coherent Noise Suppression to suppress coherent shot noise, testing in different domains:

  • shot, receiver, CMP.
  • Anomalous noise attenuation, testing in different domains: shot, receiver, CMP.

Irregular Shooting Geometry and Acquisition Constraints

We routinely deal with irregular shooting common to land seismic shooting.

Our Kirchhoff algorithms migrate seismic data from the actual shot and receiver locations.

Collaborative Workflow and Communication

Your collaboration is essential in ensuring the successful management of this project. To make our work processes fully adaptable to your needs, we encourage frequent correspondence in several forms:

Regular Reporting and Technical Communication

  • Weekly progress reports in PDF sent via e-mail
  • Regular PowerPoint presentations of all parameter testing sent via e-mail

Secure Data Sharing and QC Access

  • FTP file sharing on the internet
  • Secure account on TBI ftp server at ftp.tbi.ca
  • HTML or FTP interface for easy file downloads
  • SEGY QC volumes
  • QC displays in PDF or other graphics format
  • PowerPoint slides of parameter tests

Optional In-Person Meetings

Optionally meet in Calgary or a mutually convenient location worldwide
