Full-Waveform Inversion
High-resolution velocity models
Derive high-resolution velocity and anisotropy models from seismic data using a two-way wave equation.
Gulf of Mexico Revolution
High-quality multiclient seismic data processing and interpretation
The Revolution surveys comprise high-fidelity dual-coil multiclient seismic data from more than 36,260 km2 of diverse deepwater Gulf of Mexico locations, each sharing characteristics of complex salt geometries and structures.
Surveyed basin areas
- Western Gulf frontier areas with Lower Tertiary (Wilcox) plays
- Core area of subsalt targeting Middle to Lower Miocene plays
- Lower Tertiary (Wilcox) with subsalt Pliocene plays
- Central Gulf area over the Lower Tertiary plays

Optimize subsalt illumination
Revolution surveys were designed to enable you to make better-informed, cost-effective strategic decisions during the exploration, development, and production phases. With integrated technology and geoscience expertise, these surveys deliver improved imaging in and around challenging structures, providing
- increased subsalt illumination using both full-azimuth and long-offset data
- more detailed illumination for fracture and fault mapping
- improved anisotropy and anisotropic velocity modeling
- robust information to improve velocity model building in areas containing salt bodies.
Dual Coil Shooting Acquisition technology
The full Revolution survey dataset was acquired using dual-coil multivessel full-azimuth acquisition, which employs four vessels—two source and two recording boats—equipped with a point-receiver marine seismic system. Recording boats continuously shoot in a series of interlinked circles with 6,250-m radius, and data are acquired over the full-azimuth, 360° and over the full offset range to deliver a 14-km long-offset dataset.
