iX1 is the command and control intelligence platform included in every INOVA seismic acquisition system. It is an intuitive software that acts as the central hub for visibility and management of the seismic program that includes support for visualization, QC, data management, reporting and analytics.
iX1 TPM supports up to 1 PB of data storage.
The power of iX1 is that observers can manage hybrid operations with cabled and nodal systems without the headache of merging datasets.
ix1’s Geophysical Data Characterization (GDC) module provides real-time analysis of geophysical attributes when used with the G3i HD cable system.
It’s long been a frustration for seismic crews to train observers on multiple software packages, and to create and manage a hybrid spread by master/slaving two systems. To help contractors gain greater visibility, control and efficiency, we created a common software platform for all of our systems that helps crews visualize the status and progress of the entire operation while reducing the inefficiencies and errors that often occur when master/slaving.
With several available modules under a single-user interface, teams can monitor and manage a variety of tasks with ease including Source QC, Seismic Processing, Transcriber Processing (for nodal operations), and overall survey operations
Features of iX1 |
Seismic Operational Management System | Software and hardware elements for all aspects of vibroseis and impulsive source configuration, control, QC and monitoring. |
Download and Data Management System | Software and hardware elements for all aspects of nodal data download, transcription, system configuration, vibroseis correlation, QC, survey, layout and pick-up. |
iX1 Map Module | Used to define parameters for the 2D or 3D seismic survey including source/receiver coordinates and shooting template. The parameters can be imported from SEGP1, SPS or PRJ files, assigned as a sub-project. |
Data QC Module | Live traces are analyzed for RMS Signal, Noise, SNR and adjacent trace correlation, results are presented as information-rich pixels, color indicates user dictated pass/fail criteria, shade indicates signal amplitude levels; an observer can quickly and reliably QC tens of thousands of receiver points at a glance. |
Source QC Module | Uses information contained in the PSS and PFS data to provide production statistics and user-friendly production QC visualization. |
In-field Operational Tools | X1 Field software runs on purpose-built, portable computers designed for rugged field operations. The software includes the ability to synchronize data between field tools and the iX1 system. In addition, a user-friendly QC application is available for Andriod OS devices |
