Sandhill North

170 km2 3D WAZ survey designed to reveal deep targets using advanced imaging workflows including elastic full waveform inversion, simultaneous joint inversion, and least-squares reflectivity, to illuminate complex subsurface structures with unprecedented clarity in Winkler County, Texas.

Greenfield

3D wide-azimuth survey covering 145 mi2 in Yoakum and Terry Counties, Texas. The survey images the shallower oil and gas fields as well as potential for deeper carbon capture and sequestration targets.

Sandhill Phase 1* Jumano Merge

687 mi2 covering Winkler and Ward Counties, this seamless volume was obtained by implementing advanced 5D Matching Pursuit Fourier interpolation (MPFI) workflow to mitigate differences in acquisition geometries. Dense acquisition, along with the latest noise attenuation techniques—including coordinate-driven coherent noise attenuation techniques such as surface wave analysis, modeling, and inversion (SWAMI) —addresses near-surface scattering challenges, particularly in the Cenozoic fill zones.

McKenzie Draw

Covering 412 mi2 in Martin, Andrews, Dawson and Gaines Counties, Texas. The survey was designed to address the subsurface challenges of the Permian Basin such as shallow karsting, salt formations, complex basement faulting, thin beds, and multiple target benches.

Coyanosa Merge

1090 mi2 of combined Wide-Azimuth and long-offset recording geometries for precise statics and velocity models over Reeves and Pecos Counties, Texas. Broadband processing preserves vital amplitude information, while Vector High Fidelity (VHF) workflow enhances frequency and reduces noise for clearer imaging. Advanced anisotropic Kirchhoff pre-stack migration ensures accurate imaging, even in complex geologies—delivering sharper resolution and reliable insights for smarter exploration decisions.

S.E. Lea PSDM Merge

Large-scale reprocessing and seamless merge of 12 3D seismic surveys encompassing over 1200 mi2 across Lea County, New Mexico, extending into Andrews and Winkler Counties, Texas, focusing on modern PSTM and PSDM volumes for structurally complex Permian Basin geology. Highlights of the processing included multi-azimuth, well-integrated tomography using 50+ wells, 5D Matching Pursuit Fourier Interpolation (MPFI) to regularize geometry, SWAMI and NUCNS for coherent noise attenuation, and GSMP + XIMP for surface and interbed multiple suppression.
