Our Process

How it Works

Mapping out our step by step process to understand how we transform your interpreted seismic sections from your workstations into publishable material ready for investor reports, farm-out flyers, publication, management presentations or simply for office decoration!

Project Delivery = 10 Days Total

Step 1

Provide us with a high resolution image of your seismic data (with and without interpretation). We can advise on the best practices this on all major software packages (Petrel/Kingdom/DUG). We will then load this image our graphic design software.

Step 2

We then digitise your horizons and faults interpretation.

Step 3

After digitisation of all geological features, we fill in the stratal units to visualise the subsurface image.

Step 4

Digitisation of the internal stratal patterns within the sedimentary packages. This will greatly enhance your understanding of the facies and seismic stratigraphy.

Step 5

A cartoon geological section is produced with the underlying seismic removed. These sections are very popular for investor and internal company reports as they are more easily digestible for non-geoscientists.
