Proper Oil and Gas exploration requires accurate imaging in order to plan well drilling in an optimum location. Geneseis offer the proper equipment and years of experience and know-how to achieve those objectives. From project design, budgeting, operations, Geneseis covers the all spectrum of services needed for a successful seismic exploration. We use wireless acquisition systems and either or both explosives and vibroseis sources for imaging down to 6 km. We can operate 2D, 3D, 4D acquisitions,with various geometry designs, as well as micro-seismic and passive seismic for some specific projects.

Geothermal is indeed a source of energy for the future. Seismic imaging will help at a better understanding of the underground structures, and definitely be a key parameter when it comes to assess the geothermal potential of a structure. It usually requires prior 2D exploration, and in some instances, complemented with fairly high-resolution 3D imaging, which Geneseis can deliver thanks to its high seismic channel capacity.

CCS is becoming of increasing importance. Geneseis can assist with locating and screening suitable CO2 subsurface storage sites through (1) reprocessing legacy seismic data, and (2) providing high density 4D time-lapse 3D seismic. The 4D seismic can be used in both Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) projects and to monitor the injected CO2 plume in CCS projects.

Whether for open pit or underground mining, seismic data will deliver a dataset that will cover all aspects of mining development (brown fields) or exploration (green fields). Apart from imaging seams (for example coal), it also delivers a structural image which will bring a better understanding of the potential geo-hazards involved in a mining projects ( by accurately imaging the fault systems). Most of the time, seismic for mining require highly dense surveys in both the receiver and source domain, and therefore a very controlled way of managing seismic data from acquisition to processing, and further interpretation of the horizons. Interesting enough, seismic dataset for mining carry a huge value over time, as they will be the data to which the mining engineers will refer to over the years as the mine is developing. It therefore carry a very high cost effectiveness.

Thanks to our expertise and experience, we can design a tailor made geometry for your project, based on geological data and/or vintage seismic data. Besides, our proposal of feasibility study, includes, as an option, environmental impacts, community impacts, and so on, as well as budget figures, operation plan and schedule. Our feasibility studies are very specific to a project with sound data and conclude with a set of options with their pros and cons, including budget and timing considerations. This is a consulting service that can be expanded to a technical assistance service if we are not operating the project, or can be part of the acquisition/processing/interpretation contract if we are operating the project.

More than often, companies have access to vintage data which are no longer directly readable because of either obsolete format or media. We do carry some of those tape readers which will allow you to access to them again. They can then be copied on modern media (Hard Drive Disk for example) under an up to date format. Once done, we can re-process and re-interpret the data with the nowadays techniques, delivering a better image compare to what was previously done. Those services are offered on a stand-alone model or can be packaged with a feasibility study, and later with a new data acquisition project.
