3D Survey Evaluation and Design Services
Polaris can provide a wide range of 3D Seismic Design solutions; optimizing subsurface imagery while controlling costs and environmental footprints.
Theoretical Design
By closely analyzing client provided:
-
Target range of depths
-
Previous 2D stack sections
-
Existing velocity-depth models and filter panels
-
Polaris can supply a number of effective theoretical design options accompanied with and supported by:
-
Calculated optimal bin size to maximize available high frequencies
-
Multiple offset-range and unique coverage plots to ensure target fold
-
Offset and azimuth plots, as well as rose diagrams showing the distribution of fold, to demonstrate required even coverage
-
Migration aperture options based on dip and client requirements
-
Complete receiver and source point statistics i.e. line lengths, EOL-BOL, point density, total points
Offset Design
Once the design that best meets the client's objectives is chosen, a detailed offset plan is generated using, where available:
-
Digital elevation models (DEM)
-
Culture spatial data (pipelines, roads, etc.)
-
Geo-referenced and ortho-rectified digital aerial and/or satellite, photography
-
Geographical information systems (GIS)
-
Permit restrictions
-
Safety and environmental concerns
