Geophysics: Seismic Acquisition

5 octobre 2021

Reflection seismology and seismic imaging today is one of the most powerful geophysical methods. It is successfully applied in Geothermal, Petroleum, Mining, and Nuclear Storage exploration. Geological complexity, acquisition in urban areas, budget and time constrains require diligent project planning and execution to achieve specific imaging targets. Ad Terra provides full spectrum of services from survey design to selecting an optimal contractor and project supervision for 2D, 3D and VSP surveys. Current activities include:

Land and Marine 2D/3D seismic surveys

  • Survey design
  • Tender, and service provider evaluation
  • Contract negotiation
  • Equipment Audit
  • Field operation supervision
  • Data QC

Well survey

  • VSP design
  • Tender, and service provider evaluation

Integrated Sedimentological Studies

Sedimentological and stratigraphic studies provide priceless information on architecture, nature and heterogeneities of sedimentary geological objects (both in surface and subsurface).

Geophysics: Seismic Processing

Reflection seismology is commonly recognized as one of the most powerful geophysical methods. Specific exploration targets for Geothermal, Petroleum, Mining or Nuclear Storage industries define unique processing workflow for every acquired seismic dataset.

Geothermal Structural Study

The study we performed for the Geneva Geothermal project aims to locate and identify the geometries of the tectonic structures in the Geneva Basin and in the adjacent Jura fold-and-thrust belt.
