As oil & gas companies seek to maximize recovery from reserves that are challenging to access or image, they are increasingly turning to seabed seismic.
BREAKTHROUGH TECHNOLOGIES
VectorSeis Ocean (VSO) is a revolutionary system for acquiring full-wave (multicomponent) data from the seabed. By integrating several proprietary ION technologies, including the award-winning VectorSeis digital, full-wave sensor, VSO delivers step-change improvements in image quality and unmatched productivity compared to conventional ocean-bottom cable (OBC) systems.
- Records full-wave (multicomponent) data for superior imaging
- Decreases cycle time, providing more timely information for effective asset management
- Reduces health, safety, and environmental (HSE) exposure
Since its initial deployment in 2004, VectorSeis Ocean technology has a proven track record of delivering the highest resolution imaging seen in the North Sea, Caspian Sea, offshore West Africa and Brazil, Gulf of Mexico and Arabian Gulf.
SYSTEM ENHANCEMENTS
ION recently introduced VSO II with new features that further enhance the system's operational efficiency and HSE advantages:
- Buoy-based architecture eliminates recording vessel and enables efficient shooting into larger spreads
- Continuous acquisition reduces cycle time and maintains data integrity
- Advanced diagnostic measurements streamline fault isolation
- Cable design enables automated, reel-based handling systems
