Second WIT Patent Application published

WIT's second US Patent application, "Estimation of Propagation Angles in Geology with Application to Determination of Propagation Velocity and Angle-Domain Imaging", has been published by the USPTO on May 6, 2010. This patent application protects the innovations behind WIT Angle. Please download the patent application from our website.

New RTM, US Patent Application published

WIT has rolled its new Reverse-Time Migration (RTM) into production. This advanced wave equation imaging algorithm can image "overturned" events and steep faults that one-way WEM algorithms have difficulty imaging. Above: See a comparison of PSTM and our new RTM on the classic Spindletop salt dome.

WIT's 2008 patent application for Migration Velocity Focusing Analysis (MVFA) has been published by the USPTO.

WIT at SEG

WIT will exhibit at the 2009 SEG conference in Houston. Please drop by and see us in booth #215. Also, please check out our CEO Morgan Brown's talk on Wednesday, entitled "Sub-salt overpressure detection before drilling using wave equation migration technologies". This presentation will begin at 10:10 am in the "RC 3: Inversion Uncertainty and Rock Properties" session.

WIT Presents at HTC Energy Investor Forum

WIT presented its business plan to nearly 100 investors at the Houston Technology Center's Energy Investor Forum on August 20. WIT has been an HTC client company since 2008. WIT's CEO Morgan Brown is visible in the photo of the presenters from the five client companies represented at the Forum.

Oscar Ramirez Hired as Manager of Data Processing Services

Oscar comes to WIT from a position as senior geophysicist for Weinman GeoScience. Oscar and Morgan Brown worked together on a variety of projects at Hess Corp. Oscar brings nearly 15 years of experience from his prior work in Louisiana, deepwater Gulf of Mexico, Williston Basin, West and East Texas, Oklahoma, the North Sea, South China Sea, Peru, Morocco and offshore Brazil. He earned Bachelor's and Masters degrees in Earth Systems from Stanford University.

Need Angles? Get the RIGHT angles with WIT Angle

WIT Angle: When Three Dimensions isn't Enough

Finally, you can combine the accuracy of wave equation migration with an efficient full-volume decomposition into incidence angle gathers or azimuth angle gathers. When the earth is complex, it is difficult to unravel incidence angle from surface offset or azimuth angle from surface azimuth. WIT Angle decomposes the image by incidence angle of azimuth angle at the reflector for maximum accuracy.
