SeismicCity ADVANTAGE

SeismicCity's advantage is in its expertise of depth imaging technology and services and the company’s ability to adopt new technologies quickly. We offer a combination of unique proprietary depth imaging technology coupled with outstanding experience in execution of depth imaging projects. We are routinely constructing accurate depth imaging volumes that are directly used in the positioning of new well locations.

Our company is focused on depth imaging technology. This involves constant development and upgrading of our tools and algorithms. Depth imaging technology is an evolving technology and we are dedicated to the development and modifications of our tools. This gives us the ability to offer execution of the most complex depth imaging projects.

The latest technology offered by SeismicCity is Reverse Time Migration (“RTM”).  With the new marine seismic data recorded in the past several years, much more reliable models can be constructed for application of prestack depth migration. Having more accurate models, RTM became a practical prestack depth migration algorithm that can be offered as a routine depth imaging tool.

In the past two years RTM has been the focus of our development. This included modification of two-way wave propagation algorithms to take advantage of high order finite differences operators, replacing our hardware platform from CPU based to hybrid CPU/GPU based hardware, and improving our RTM prestack depth migration software to work in an optimal way on the new hardware platform. This put SeismicCity at the forefront of offering RTM technology using GPU technology. SeismicCity’s change of hardware platform was announced in a press release submitted by NVIDIA on October 29, 2008. Read More…
