ION Geophysical Corporation announced the first proprietary commercial deployment of the Company’s Gemini™ extended frequency source technology for a Super Major. Following the technology’s commercialization in September, energy companies have specified Gemini in a number of proprietary tenders, the first of which is expected to begin in January. Gemini uniquely supports the industry’s shift to increasingly novel acquisition methodologies for enhanced subsurface imaging and decision-making across the E&P life cycle. Since its development, the technology has demonstrated broader functionality and appeal, expanding its market applicability. For example, in this long offset 3D towed streamer survey, Gemini’s broad source spectrum will improve subsurface characterization of a moderately complex geologic area with greater operational efficiency and considerably less environmental impact. The innovative source significantly extends low frequencies, while limiting higher frequencies to a more ecologically friendly range.
