“UNLOCK THE VALUE CONTAINED WITHIN YOUR PAPER SEISMIC SECTIONS”
SpectrumData offers a full range of seismic section scanning, seismic trace reconstruction and seismic vectorisation services to the oil and gas industry. Our specialised seismic scanning and conversion service enables you to convert your valuable and often irreplaceable hard copy legacy seismic sections to digital SEGY format data. This restoration not only ensures long term data preservation, but facilitates the application of advanced post stack seismic processing and the interpretation of the resulting digital data within a modern workstation environment.
Frequently in the exploration industry, historical seismic data is only available in a hard copy format. Often these sections cover key areas that lack modern seismic coverage. Conversion of the hardcopy sections to digital SEGY data is the cost efficient solution to obtaining greater seismic coverage. Paper does not last forever and it cannot be readily used for the purpose of advanced manipulation and processing using modern techniques.
Using state-of-the-art document scanning equipment, we can scan and capture your paper seismic sections from sepia, film or paper and produce a raster image file. Using advanced seismic trace digitising software, we then carefully track and reconstruct the data. Where the seismic sections are faded or damaged, intelligent wave tracking algorithms can be applied to interpolate the missing fragments of the trace to ensure a full and accurate reproduction of the original data.
With the original seismic trace data digitally captured, we can then apply conventional post-stack processing routines to enhance the data. For older vintage seismic data, the application of post stack processes such as FK or FX noise reduction filtering and scaling and predictive de-convolution generally result in significant enhancement of the original data.
On completion of scanning, conversion and data enhancement, we then output the digital data to your specified format and deliver it back to you either electronically via the web or on the output media of your choice.
