The range of services that have been offered by InteQuest's O&G group for the last fifteen years have established these companies both to the Canadian oil patch but internationally as well. Data from all over the world, including Ukrane, China, Latin America, and Africa have been processed with great success.

The O&G group is currently under re-focusing and re-organization in order to adapt to the new dynamics in the industry and the O&G Trust concept.

First Breaks Statics

Our First Breaks Statics Division specializes in 2D and 3D front-end seismic processing using conventional seismic processing software licensed from Green Mountain Geophysics and augmented through in-house applied R&D. With the added technological advantages of our proprietary Olympus software, FBS offers significant improvements to the conventional quality control utilities and computerized methodologies.

Tailored services include geometry definition, verification, first break picking, statics calculation, and trace editing. By utilizing the production capabilities of the software array, dedicated workstation and server computing power, and its highly experienced staff, FBS obtains results of consistently high quality, speed and cost-effectiveness. For these reasons and others, FBS has won the patronage of such industry giants as BP/Amoco Canada and Chevron.

Exploration Innovations

Exploration Innovations, our interpretation division, offers its clients state of the art facilities and software to interpret and model seismic data. Clients include small to medium size oil and gas exploration companies with offices in Calgary and independent geophysical consultants doing business in Calgary's dynamic oilpatch.

Exploration Innovations has expanded its product line to include geophysical, geological and production modeling services, as well as training, mapping and system support. Offering its clients a full suite of software packages from Paradigm, Landmark and Panther, Exploration Innovations maintains a staff of technical specialists, (augmented by our in-house R&D division) to load client data and to aid in the use of the workstations and software. Workstation rentals and related services are available to clients on an hourly basis. Exploration Innovations has successfully built its business around the trend within the industry to contract out services in search of lower costs and greater flexibility, becoming a real "technology boutique".

Further expansion of the Exploration Innovations product line is planned to be accomplished via Internet applications developed in-house and new PC based application software.

EI Processing

Our EI Processing Division offers both 2D and 3D seismic data processing (pre and post stack) to the oil and gas industry in Canada and abroad. We are expanding into Marine Processing using proprietary software and parallel system design and into structural data processing using our imaging technologies. Apart from its successes in the Canadian oil and gas industry centered in Calgary, inroads have also been made into processing work from North Africa and China, in part due to the specialized solutions available for the more difficult data sets now being encountered by exploration companies worldwide.

The technology utilized for conventional processing outputs is the industry standard Paradigm Geophysical (CogniSeis) FOCUS/DISCO software, which has been augmented for specialized processing tasks through integration of the proprietary 'Olympus' seismic processing software owned and developed by InteQuest.

Unique to EIP, processing solutions have been developed to enhance 2D and 3D data by accurately separating the easily predictable signal from the unpredictable noise. To meet the challenges of Random Noise, Low Frequency Linear, and Dispersive Noise, EIP utilizes a comprehensive application suite for suppression of surface and interbedded multiples, providing a noise free section for interpretation, inversion and AVO which can then be applied to data at either pre or post-stack domain.

EIP personnel are widely trained and experienced, providing high quality services and thus securing for the company a stable client base.

InteQuest also operates EI Specialized Processing ("EISP"), a division of EI Processing that is dedicated to providing solutions to specialized seismic data problems. Proving the depth of its expertise, EISP has successfully processed problem seismic data for several major Canadian exploration companies. In addition to its ongoing research and development activities, EISP lends its services to FBS, EIP and EI, when clients of those divisions have need of non-conventional or tailored approaches.
