Complex Geological Imaging Contracts Awarded to WIT

HOUSTON (November 18) - Wave Imaging Technology, Inc. (WIT) has received follow-on assignments covering 265 square miles in the following geophysical provinces:
  • Louisiana Gulf Coast deep fault imaging
  • Paradox Basin, Utah, sub-salt imaging
  • Wyoming rough terrain imaging and azimuthal fracture detection
  • San Joaquin Valley, California, rough terrain, steep dip imaging.
All of these contracts have in common defining unique geologic features that typical geophysical imaging has difficulty in producing useable data. "WIT enjoyed outstanding attendance at our booth at the SEG Expo this year," said Tom Wood, Vice President, Sales and Marketing. "There is tremendous increasing interest in pre-stack depth migration, particularly for onshore applications. As a pioneer specialty company in this area, WIT is well positioned to capitalize on this industry trend, as evidenced by the number of pre-stack depth migration requests we fielded from both existing and new customers at the show."
Rough Terrain, Sub-Salt, Sub-Ice Assignments to Wave Imaging Technology

HOUSTON (August 11) - Wave Imaging Technology, Inc. has received $126,000 in sub-salt, rough terrain and sub-permafrost pilot studies from the following geophysical provinces:
  • North Slope of Alaska permafrost transition
  • Gulf Coast overpressure sub-salt
  • Mid-Continent salt dissolution areas
  • Williston Basin azimuth fracture detection
  • Kurdistan extreme topographic features
All of these contracts have in common defining unique geologic features that typical geophysical imaging has difficulty in producing useable data. All but the Kurdistan project are pilot projects that may lead to larger seismic processing projects in these same areas, says Morgan P. Brown, president of WIT.
