New partnerships: gravity and seismic interpretation

Wave Imaging has created partnerships with two boutique firms which expand our reach. Interactive Earth Sciences Corp (IESC), managed by Mark Kramer and Peter Northrop, is a highly-regarded Denver firm specializing in seismic interpretation. We expect IESC to assist Wave with, among other things, well-seismic mistie analysis in situations where our clients lack the expertise or time. Terrasys Geophysics is a provider of potential fields software and interpretation. We expect Terrasys to provide gravity interpretation services to better constrain velocity models in difficult situations (e.g. salt, overthrust). More information about IESC and Terrasys can be found here: http://www.waveimagingtechnology.com/partners.htm

WIT 5DI

Wave Imaging Technology announces the release of its new WIT 5DI technology. WIT 5DI is our implementation of 5D Interpolation. WIT 5DI uses a weighted least-squares polynomial interpolation to estimate missing traces. We normally only interpolate receivers (keeping the number of shot records constant), but can estimate new shot records by appealing to reciprocity. Click here for a WIT 5DI Case study.

Dallas Geophysical Society Luncheon

WIT's CEO Morgan Brown mugging with Keith Brownlee, president of the Dallas Geophysical Society. Thanks to a three-hour flight delay, Brown very nearly missed this talk, walking into the venue after the participants had already eaten! Thanks to Louis Dubois for supplying the photo.

Second US Patent awarded

WIT's second US Patent (8,335,651 B2), Estimation of Propagation Angles of Seismic Waves in Geology with Application to Determination of Propagation Velocity and Angle-Domain Imaging, was issued by the USPTO on December 18, 2012.

New Employees!

WIT is pleased to announce the addition of two new team members:

• Kevin Rybicki has joined as a Junior Depth Processor in WIT’s Houston headquarters. A former college swimmer, Kevin comes to geophysics from medical imaging.

• Ed Andrews, recently retired Chief Geophysicist of EXCO Resources in Pittsburgh, has joined WIT as a Senior Exploration Consultant. Ed will develop new business and maintain client relationships in the northeastern US.
