Onboard processing for Libyan project

Geotrace, a reservoir services company that provides sub-surface imaging solutions to the oil and gas industry worldwide, provided a large onboard computer processing centre for Geowave Endeavour. This is helping the vessel carry out the work for BP Exploration Libya, which involves one of the largest ever onboard seismic data processing projects.

Geotrace, through its long-term agreement with Wavefield Inseis, has outfitted Geowave Endeavour with a computer centre which will allow the vessel to process seismic data quickly and cost effectively. The Libyan project was due to cover 17,000km² of 3D seismic data processing in the Sirt basin.

Geotrace provided proprietary processing software, installed on one of the largest Linux clusters afloat, including software for surface related multiple elimination (SRME), pre-stack time migration (PSTM) and dense velocity analysis. OSJ
