Segment Land Seismic Acquisition Region Canadian Rockies Technologies Tesla Rocky Mountain Autonomous Nodal Hawk® System from INOVA Conquers the Canadian Rockies Willesden Green Tesla Exploration Ltd. was selected for the Willesden Green 3D/3C seismic acquisition project, a winter deployment covering 260 sq km (100 sq mi) near Rocky Mountain House in Alberta, Canada. The project area encompassed a working oil field production area and unpopulated terrain with rolling hills and patches of dense evergreen forest. Unpaved roads offered reasonable access, but Tesla crews also required snowmobiles in off-road areas for greater efficiency in deployment and acquisition QC.
Segment Land Seismic Acquisition Region Tuha Oilfield, China Technologies BGP Acknowledges G3i’s Performance During Tuha Oilfield Trials INOVA’s New Land Technology Surpasses BGP’s Expectations Geophysical service providers rely heavily on equipment manufacturers such as INOVA for integrated solutions that can support the smallest 2D projects to the largest most complex 3D high productivity Vibroseis (HPVS) operations. BGP, a subsidiary of China National Petroleum Company and the world's largest land seismic contractor, continually seeks cutting-edge seismic technology to maintain their competitive edge for providing high quality data acquisition services. BGP's numerous seismic crews operate across the globe in all types of challenging terrains and extreme weather conditions, and require a stable, easy-to-use recording system that can perform in the toughest seismic programs.
Segment Land Seismic Acquisition Region Pennsylvania, USA Technologies Tesla Evaluates the Hawk System for Usage in the Marcellus Shale INOVA’s Autonomous Node Proven Successful During Field Tests Challenges across the industry are forcing operators to find innovative approaches and evaluate their acquisition technologies more closely. In order to compete in the land seismic industry, geophysical providers require equipment capable of overcoming a diverse range of operational demands and environmental obstacles. Surface infrastructure and obstructions add a myriad of challenges for crews who must achieve high levels of productivity while producing the data integrity their customers demand.
Segment Region Technologies BGP Sets New Acquisition Record in China with INOVA's 63,000 Channel G3i® System Getting the Job Done. Project: Ma 131 Well 3D In many regions of the world, the majority of geophysical service providers continue to use cable-based acquisition technologies for conducting the simplest 2D to the largest, most complex 3D surveys. Crews have equipped themselves with the most advanced cable-based systems on the market to take advantage of their unmatched reliability and accuracy in providing real-time data acquisition. As the seismic industry demands higher quality data at lower operational costs, acquiring high-density sampling with High Productivity Vibroseis (HPVS) is becoming more favorable. However, these projects introduce extreme challenges in managing equipment, personnel, logistics, and achieving desired productivity levels.
Segment Land Seismic Acquisition Region Yakutia, Russia Technologies GeoGlobAll Surveys Yakutia's Frozen Taiga with INOVA's G3i Recording System G3i Overcomes Siberia's Harshest Subzero Temperatures Unscathed G3i Overcomes Siberia's Harshest Subzero Temperatures Unscathed – The GeoGlobAll Group, a leading oilfield service provider in Russia, has been exploring the Russian republic of Yakutia for many decades. In 2012, OJSC YakutskGeofizika (YGF), a wholly owned subsidiary of GeoGlobAll, was awarded a contract to perform several 2D seismic surveys near the Arctic Circle. They needed a new acquisition system that was highly reliable, easily deployable and consumes minimal power to reduce battery changeouts. In Yakutia, temperatures below -50°C (-58°F) are common during the winter months, which makes the need for rugged and weatherized acquisition equipment essential. With temperatures this extreme, minimizing the time the crew was exposed to the elements was a priority during the seismic operatio
Segment Land Seismic Acquisition Region Khazzan Makarem Block, Oman Technologies Optimizing Productivity for High-Density Acquisitions AHV-IV Renegade Delivers 80,000 Pounds of Efficiency In December 2007, Global Geophysical Services, a geophysical service provider operating twelve land survey crews worldwide, began a five-month, 3D data acquisition in Oman. The acquisition specified an advanced vibroseis recording methodology covering approximately 2,793 sq km of relatively flat desert terrain for characterization of a target approximately 6,000 meters below the surface. With aggressive daily productivity parameters and simultaneously recorded offset separated shot points required by the E&P operator, Global sought a highly reliable vibroseis vehicle with faster acceleration that would provide greater energy input while minimizing the logistical quandary of mobilizing and coordinating multiple vibs per fleet.
