The grading process for potential drilling locations, whether Exploration, Appraisal or Development, is primarily based on the interpretation of seismic data.
As recorded, raw seismic data is difficult to understand, contaminated with numerous, unwanted, effects. The removal of these, and the consequent conversion of raw seismic to a form that can be interpreted and understood, is the work of the Seismic Processing Geophysicist and FSI's core business.
FSI provides seismic data processing services for 2D, 3D and 4D seismic datasets from Land, Marine and Transition Zone/Shallow Marine environments:
Time processing
Time-domain processing of land and marine seismic data through both conventional and specialist workflows. Fugro Seismic Imaging’s principal processing software is UNISEISTM with over 200 individual modules covering all aspects of seismic data processing.
| | • MGIVATM: A seismic processing service incorporating interactive velocity analysis and leading edge technology. We provide use of this interactive velocity analysis system for our clients. |
| | • AAMOGIVATM: A seismic processing service incorporating azimuthal anisotrophy interactive velocity analysis and use of this interactive system for clients. |
Depth imaging
Creation of calibrated interval velocity/depth models and imaging in the depth domain using a wide variety of depth migration algorithms.
4TH WAVE IMAGING® 4D/Time-Lapse
Strictly controlled and calibrated processing of multi-vintage 3D datasets for reservoir monitoring.
Stratigraphic/Attribute
A variety of study types including AVO/AVA analysis, post-Stack deterministic inversion, structural gradient analysis and pore-pressure prediction.
Onboard Processing Services
In addition, FSI provides Onboard Processing Services, from simple QC, through pre-processing to the production of fast-track 3D migrated volumes, aboard Fugro's fleet of seismic acquisition vessels.
