Depending on what is required we can provide either the entire exploration package or just specific parts of it. The preliminary work in the run-up to seismic data acquisition is divided up into two parts:

Survey design
To achieve a final product of the best quality and at the same time with the greatest possible cost-effectiveness we take all the influencing parameters into account:

• 2D or 3D
• Depth and required resolution of the exploration target
• Geological/geophysical characteristics of the survey area
• Conditions at the surface
• Topography
• Surface and subsurface infrastructure
• Ecological, archaeological, structural and seasonal restrictions

With the aid of the OMNI™ Seismic Image Software (SIS) this analysis can yield amongst other things the necessary acquisition parameters such as the number of recording channels, how they are best arranged in the field, and the optimum application of the various seismic sources. 

Permitting
We support your permitting work when dealing with the public authorities and administration offices. Our experience comes in useful in particular when special areas are involved, such as regions of landscape conservation, nature reserves and water protection areas. At the same time we arrange access permission with the various landowners. Permitting is done hand in hand with the surveying work.
