OIL & GAS EXPLORATION
HELPING OUR CLIENTS GET THE MOST SOURCE POINTS, WHILE MITIGATING RISK.
IGS helps clients get the most source points with the maximum amount of seismic energy in the ground, without causing damage to surrounding structures.
At IGS we don't use distance as a pre-requisite, we conduct site attenuation studies which allow us to use the rate of decay of the vibration waves to accurately predict the PPV at the closest structures. Often our clients can work closer to structures, allowing for more source points, which gives a better resolution of substructures.
​
With on-site monitoring that moves as the project progresses, our qualified technicians monitor vibration for damage claims and liability.
SEISMIC MONITORING
Experienced IGS technicians monitor shot hole and vibroseis activity. All field technicians are equipped with multiple vibration monitors, a GPS unit and range finder. Data is recorded on a tablet in the field for a paperless recording and reporting system. Monitoring data is then presented in a spreadsheet and plotted on Google Earth. For documentation, photographs of the setup and background of each monitoring unit is taken.
SERVICES
IGS works with pipeline companies, refineries, cities and government agencies to negotiate stand-off distances and increase allowable PPV values, using scientific analyses. We can also recommended specific vibration criteria.​
Road inspections document the conditions of a road before and after vibroseis trucks have vibrated the street. Reports include geo-referenced video with mapped locations of where the video is on the screen.
