Exploration / Seismic, Mar  01  2010 (Digital Energy Journal)

- ION Geophysical Corporation's seismic imaging subsidiary, GX Technology (GXT), has been awarded a multi-year contract with PEMEX.

Under this contract, GXT will be delivering a broad range of seismic data processing and imaging services for multiple offshore and onshore projects during the next three years. In order to execute the work, GXT has established a local presence in Villahermosa, Mexico where PEMEX's exploration headquarters are located.

GXT will use its proprietary imaging technologies to process and interpret seismic data acquired on behalf of PEMEX, including in deepwater regions of the Gulf of Mexico, in highly complex sub-salt areas, and in various onshore regions throughout Mexico.

The scope of services includes velocity model building and pre-stack depth migration (PreSDM) using both beam migration and reverse time migration (RTM) techniques. By establishing a presence in Villahermosa, GXT professionals will be able to closely collaborate with their PEMEX counterparts on a daily basis in order to accelerate the interpretation of the imaging results and to rapidly identify new exploration and development drilling targets.
