Small Patch Seismic: An Efficient and Cost-Effective Solution for Oil and Gas Exploration
Small patch seismic offers oil and gas companies a highly efficient and cost-effective solution for exploration and development activities. Its ability to provide a higher resolution image of a specific area makes it an ideal solution for identifying drilling problems and hazards and enabling accurate geosteering. One of the key advantages of this type of
Managing Contracts
Managing and storing contracts can be challenging. Physical contracts can take up a great deal of space in your office and leave the company vulnerable if there is a disaster. Archiving the physical contracts freeze up valuable office space and allows for contracts to be kept in a secure backup location. However, there still needs
Mitigating Mystery Data
Mitigating Mystery Data: Have you ever come across a tape with very little information on what the data of the tape contained? Data Manager at Silverthorne Seismic, Julie Hagedorn, explains a couple of ways to identify the data on “mystery” tapes. First, looking at the type of tape, such as a 9 Track Tape, can
How Important are Colorbars in Kingdom?
Colorbars: They may seem like an afterthought compared to the interpretation and mapping side of geophysics, but they are essential for showing your work. Colorbars can enhance your work, or conversely, they can leave management wondering what they are looking at. Always ask yourself if there’s a better way to view the data. Know the
How to Avoid the Historical Problem of the 600ft Surface Offset Dry Hole Location
How to Avoid the Historical Problem of the 600ft Surface Offset Dry Hole Location: The webinar illustrates how common the simple error of mistaking WGS84 UTM with the same zone in NAD27 UTM impacts our industry. The first step of risk mitigation is understanding the coordinate reference System (CRS) that your data is in. When
Scoop Acquisition
In 2019, Silverthorne completed the acquisition of the South Scoop 3D Survey. In this video, John Fortier discusses the pitfalls and challenges of seismic acquisition in one of the most challenging environments. From navigating infrastructure to figuring out how to infill source points, the Scoop surveys were challenging in every aspect. https://vimeo.com/663388539%20
What is a Coordinate Reference System?
https://vimeo.com/643644263 What is a Coordinate Reference System (CRS)? Definition: A spatial reference system (SRS) or coordinate reference system (CRS) is a coordinate-based local, regional or global system used to locate geographical entities. A spatial reference system defines a specific map projection, as well as transformations between different spatial reference systems. Spatial reference systems are defined
