Acoustic Zoom uses steered beams of acoustic energy to produce 3D seismic images of the subsurface with higher definition than can be attained with conventional seismic migration techniques.
The product line also offers the potential for providing new insight into the internal character of petroleum reservoirs, the companies said.
An Acoustic Zoom project of 12.5 sq km has already been jointly acquired by the parties over GGS’s Wrangler 3D multi-client survey in Wilson County, Texas, over the prolific Eagle Ford (shale), Austin Chalk (chalk), and Buda (limestone) formations.
Under the latest deal, GGS becomes a minority shareholder in the jointly owned entity Acoustic Zoom formed in Canada.
