Advanced Geophysical Technology (“AGT”) is a growing Houston-based company that is revolutionizing seismic imaging. From their origin as a developer of innovative GPU-based depth imaging algorithms, they have evolved into a service organization that uses world-class computing power and patented proprietary algorithms to develop high-resolution 3D seismic images quickly and cost-effectively. Together, their team of elite geophysicists is creating unparalleled value by helping oil and gas companies select and employ the ideal imaging technology to accurately image the geophysical properties of salt basins and other hard-to-image subsurface locations.

A major reason for dry holes or uneconomic discovery wells in the E&P industry is tight reservoir rock. Dispersion occurs naturally in seismic data and is caused by fluid movement relative to the rock matrix when excited by the seismic wave. Apex Spectral has invented, patented and commercialized a robust and reliable method to measure this dispersion. The measurement called “ADF®” is largely proportional to three factors: reservoir fluid viscosity, intrinsic permeability, and thickness – all of which are critical factors in finding commercial hydrocarbons. ADF® DHI technology is being applied in basins worldwide covering a broad range of geologic settings and rock types (e.g. sandstones, carbonates and fractured reservoirs) to materially reduce risk and increase flow rates. 

Bell Geospace acquires Full Tensor Gravity Gradiometry (FTG) worldwide for petroleum, mining, and groundwater exploration. With over ten year’s experience, Bell Geospace provides assistance and service for all stages of the FTG exploration program including Survey Planning & Management, Data Acquisition & Quality Control and Data Interpretation.

Intrepid Geophysics develops and provides advanced software and services for quantitative 3D geological modelling and geophysical applications. The three products from Intrepid Geophysics are GeoModellerTM, IntrepidTM and JetStreamTM. GeoIntrepid is Intrepid Geophysics’ consulting division. Intrepid Geophysics’ software and services are used in a wide range of applications in the earth resources and geotechnical industries. Current focus of software development is 3D geological modelling, 3D stochastic inversion of gravity and magnetic data, plus providing tools for the processing and interpretation of airborne gravity gradiometer data (both full tensor gradiometry and Falcon data). 

MicroSeismic, Inc. is the technology and market leader for hydraulic fracture monitoring. Founded in 2003, MicroSeismic is the pioneer in monitoring microseismic activity utilizing surface, near-surface and downhole arrays. MSI helps oil and gas companies understand how the reservoir responds to stimulation and its impact on customer economics.

NORSAR is at the forefront internationally regarding development of commercial software products and services in the field of seismic oil and gas prospecting.The core application for NORSAR seismic modelling packages are 2D and 3D seismic ray modelling, survey planning, Green’s functions for PSDM, reservoir analysis and time-to-depth conversion based on ray tracing. However, the modular design of NORSAR’s software allows packages to be tailored to individual project requirements. 

Tape Ark is liberating the world’s largest collection of data, held on backup tape, making it securely and efficiently available to the application of data analytics tools, artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies. By providing safe and secure high-volume migration of ageing corporate data from archive tape media to the cloud, Tape Ark helps innovative clients to transform forgotten and decaying data, sitting in storage cost centres, into a valuable business asset and revenue stream.
