Sub-salt depth imaging

Sub-salt exploration is all about trust...  Do I trust the event depths?  Steep dips?  Subsalt energy?  Illumination?

You can trust our sub-salt depth imaging suite. WIT's flexible 3D Shot Profile Depth Migration positions events correctly, images steep dips, and can handle strong lateral velocity variation and VTI media. In the sub-salt world, low signal-to-noise ratio and non-uniform illumination are unavoidable. Our SRME algorithm suppresses troublesome surface-related multiples, while our Shot Profile Illumination and 3D Acoustic Wavefield Simulation help you understand areas of low and high subsalt illumination.

Depth Imaging on Land

Do you know what you're missing in your seismic?

Oil prices are high, but land exploration is only getting harder. The targets are getting smaller, and the few under-explored areas often have challenging topography. The high price of seismic acquisition means that you have to spend your seismic dollars wisely. WIT's flexible 3D Shot Profile Depth Migration can image small, deep targets--from topography and in VTI media. An optimal survey design can make a huge difference on land. Our 3D Acoustic Wavefield Simulation can model full 3D shots from arbitrary topography, and help you design the right survey geometry or infill program to maximize your seismic dollars.

WIT can help you find more and better prospects

VSP Imaging

You've stopped the bit above base salt...  Do you set casing?  Sidetrack to a different target?  You need an answer...yesterday.

The stakes are high when the rig stops for a VSP. With total rig costs exceeding $1M USD per day, you need an accurate lookahead VSP image, and you can't afford to wait a week for it. WIT's flexible 3D Shot Profile Depth Migration can quickly and accurately migrate data in the VSP geometry. Why waste an expensive VSP by using a poor migration algorithm? Our 3D Acoustic Wavefield Simulation can model VSPs prior to acquisition, helping processors to understand head waves and multiples that may create problems when the real VSP is acquired.

WIT lets you see clearly ahead of the bit
