Enhancing 2D seismic using gravity gradiometry as a 3D geologic interpolator in transition zones
Offshore Magazine - November 2009
"Given a choice of seismic acquisition methods, an explorationist prefers good quality 3D seismic data. However, 3D acquisition is not always possible due to costs associated with difficult access issues, size of the area to be covered, permitting, and environmental issues in certain geographies, etc..... Airborne gravity gradiometry can solve some of these issues by providing a 3D measurement of the earth's gravitational field."
Pioneering an Integrated Gravity Gradiometry-Seismic Approach
Harts E & P - October 2009
ION and ARKeX are working together to integrate ARKeX's 3-D Gravity Gradiometry (3DGG) measurements with ION's BasinSPANS data to provide an enhanced geologic understanding in areas in which it is difficult or costly to acquire 3-D data.
