Analysis and processing of seismic data is a complex and challenging activity, underpinned by significant investments in software and requiring the use of some of the largest computational facilities in the world. From its inception, FSI has been committed to a strong R&D program in order to be able to offer the upstream industry an independent solution. With nearly 40 years of continuous development, FSI's software embodies the company's collective experience in one of the industry's most reliable, extensive and field-proven processing systems.
The proprietary UNISEIS processing system is FSI’s primary technology for processing seismic data. Currently, users have access to over 200 Uniseis modules. Tightly coupled to the core UNISEIS system are a wide range of other applications. Some of these are processing systems in their own right, covering such aspects as real-time acquisition QC, manual and automated velocity analysis, now extended to cover an range of anisotropic solutions, visualization and remote project stewardship. Others encapsulate sophisticated mathematical techniques, both computationally and dataflow intensive, such as 2D/3D pre-Stack CRS and true-amplitude 3D-SRME
To facilitate a tight coupling between R&D and DP ops, FSI uses a dispersed software development model. R&D teams are co-located with operations in FSI’s four main centres, with different centres specializing under the general headings of principal algorithmic development, interactive applications, reservoir-geophysics and acquisition-related processing services.
