Land Seismic Noise Specialists

We are a company founded by Christof Stork and Sissy Theisen with the goal of providing more reliable seismic data to our customers. We have several proprietary algorithms that help us do this, including machine learning technology called "GEARS" for use in noise removal on prestack land seismic data. We are a full service seismic processing company as well as providing consulting services for new seismic acquisition. By using advanced algorithms for noise identification and removal we plan to change noise removal on land seismic data from an art to a science. The benefits of this deterministic methodology include much improved high and low frequencies and near and far offsets in the seismic data leading to improved reliability of attributes, shortening of the processing cycle time, and more interpretable seismic volumes. Additionally, by characterizing the noise that is likely to be present on new acquisition, we can change the design - at little or no additional cost - to eliminate noise and also to make the noise more removable through the machine learning methods.
