Before running any costly 2-D or 3-D seismic survey, GEOSPECTRA IPDS® can be applied as a pre-cursor to determine the hydrocabron potential of unkown areas and to identify the most promising areas of interest.

• Tracing boundaries of geological objects at any depth;
• Investigating the internal structure of objects of interest using the method of intersections;
• Obtaining data to assist in the initial mapping of prosects;
• Areas of interest identified in the initial survey can be targeted efficiently for additional data acquisition to better delineate prospective resources;
• GEOSPECTRA IPDS® can identify barriers and boundaries in hydrocarbon zones, such as those caused by sealing faults and sedimentary barriers;
• Before drilling an exploratory or appraisal well GEOSPECTRA IPDS® can identify the local hydrocarbon potential or non potential as well aiding in avoiding the drilling of dry holes;
• GEOSPECTRA IPDS® data can be integrated into existing seismic data for a better understanding of a potential hydrocarbon pool.
