Acquiring high-quality seismic data requires innovative solutions to the many acquisition challenges that occur in land, transition zone and marine environments. Seismic surveys can be acquired in a safe and environmentally friendly manner when the proper planning, design and field management techniques are employed. If you are planning and/or acquiring a survey, Fusion can supply you with the expertise to assure that you get the most for the dollars invested in seismic acquisition with minimal HSE impact. We offer a full suite of acquisition services that includes:
 

 

 

Survey Design and Planning


Optimizing a seismic survey to meet and surpass the proposed objectives is paramount to a successful exploration program. To meet this goal, Fusion uses our geophysical expertise and a variety of commercial software packages to model and design the survey. Modeling steps include velocity model building; reprocessing of previously acquired data or synthetic data for determinations of offsets, streamer separations and mutes; and source modeling. Once the modeling is complete, a seismic survey is designed which will optimize the calculated parameters and most accurately image the geologic target.

 

      


Field QA/QC
 

Field quality control of data can eliminate many potential problems with the processed data set. To provide comprehensive quality control, Fusion's experts have broad experience including land, marine and transition zone acquisition. In addition, Fusion employs industry standard software packages for evaluating quality issues such as fold coverage and seismic noise. SITC personnel offer a competitive edge for quality acquisition.

Hazard Survey Design
 

Fusion scientists have been involved in many of the recent developments in shallow hazard analysis, and are thus highly qualified to assist our clients in designing optimal shallow hazard surveys. Fusion experts can provide the necessary personnel to design, support and QC your shallow hazard survey needs including deepwater hazard surveys using seismic data, side-scan sonar and other methods.

 

      


 

Surveying & Geodetics Support

Determining land and lease ownership can often delay or deter an otherwise successful survey program. Insuring that due diligence has been performed in the permitting and site evaluation process increases the effectiveness of acquisition of a seismic survey. Fusion scientists have extensive experience with permits, landowners, legal issues and title searches that provide the extra edge to a successful survey.

Accurate positioning of seismic surveys, hazards, property lines, well and pipeline locations are key to a successful exploration program. Fusion scientists are skilled in the latest positioning technologies, including GPS to provide our clients with the greatest positioning accuracy available. By providing accuracy in survey and navigation data, risk and exposure are lessened and capital expense reduced.
