GDS also offers field seismic data processing services.

GDS has all the resources necessary for successful field processing of seismic exploration data, i. e. qualified staff with solid experience in onsite processing, and state-of-the-art computers and software.

The GDS staff performs the following core tasks related to field data processing:

• Create SPS-files
• Input field data into the processing system
• Assign and check acquisition geometry
• Pick first arrivals and perform datum statics correction
• Perform velocity analysis
• Generate brute stacks
• Process seismic acquisition statistics and analyze the quality of resulting seismic data
• Prepare and transmit the data to the central computing facility

Pre-processing at field data centers significantly reduces the time needed to build a geological model of the field.
