Viking Geophysical Services brings together the people, the tools, and the technology that enable innovative solutions for today’s seismic challenges. We acquire and process 2-D, 3-D and micro seismic land seismic data for clients which can range from major oil and gas companies to independent oil and gas operators.
The words seismic and geophysics are often associated with earthquakes. But seismic data is also a valuable technology used extensively by the oil and gas industry in its exploration, development and reservoir management operations. The main purpose of seismic exploration is to render the most accurate possible graphic representation of specific portions of the Earth’s subsurface geologic structure. The images produced allow exploration companies to accurately and cost-effectively evaluate a promising prospect for its oil and gas yielding potential. Seismic imaging may seem simple on the surface but it takes knowledge, experience and advanced technology to do it right. Acquisition of seismic data involves the transmission of controlled acoustic energy into the Earth, and recording the energy that is reflected back from geologic boundaries in the subsurface.
Information regarding the structure and nature of the reflecting strata can be derived from the two-way travel time, and other attributes, of the returning energy. Processing these reflections produces a synthetic image of the Earth’s subsurface geologic structure. The end product of all this work and technology is a graphic 3D representation of the Earth’s sub-surface geologic structure.
Based largely on this information, exploration companies will decide where, or if to drill for oil and gas. Viking Geophysical Services has made every effort to acquire the most advanced vibratory and recording equipment available and in doing so we believe that we can provide a product that is unmatched.
When working with us, you benefit from knowing that Viking Geophysical has over 100 years of combined operating experience and a recognized track record of technological leadership in the science of geophysics. The company, therefore, is well placed to capitalize on the growing importance of seismic as a key technology for enhancing the E&P performance.
