Year: 2023 First Published: EAGE Vienna Workshop Authors: Hager, Rentsch Summary Air-gun sources and their environmental impact have been debated for a long time. While some of this debate might be exaggerated it is generally accepted that the high frequencies outside the seismic bandwidth are of no benefit to imaging or subsequent attribute inversions although […]

Year: 2023 First Published: IMAGE Authors: Rodrigo Felicio Fuck and Lorenzo Casasanta Summary We introduce a novel, computationally efficient model preconditioner, the guided filter, a multi-dimensional, structure-oriented, and edge-preserving filter, with a self- adjoint implementation which does not require a priori knowledge of the structural dip field. We show how to generalize the guided filter […]

Year: 2023 First Published: IMAGE Authors: Rodrigo Fuck and Lorenzo Casasanta Summary We introduce a novel computationally efficient model preconditioner, the guided filter, a multi-dimensional, structure-oriented, and edge-preserving filter, with a self-adjoint implementation which does not require apriori knowledge of the structural dip field. Model preconditioners are essential in geophysical ill-posed inverse problem to constrain […]

Together with local partner DDMS Ltd, Shearwater is supporting academic excellence by providing ten licenses to their state-of-the-art Reveal software, […]

In the immensity of the oceans, being away from family and friends can be tough. For years, our offshore colleagues have wrestled with the isolation that accompanies life on a vessel, struggling with a conventional internet connection, making them feel disconnected from the rest of the world. However, the evolution of technology has been a […]

by Khalveena Sivabalakrishnan, Senior Engineer, and Mohd Hakimi Mohd Rashid, Sourcing Engineer At Shearwater, we recognize our responsibility to be a force of good in our community. That has led us to partner with local vocational colleges and universities to provide internship opportunities for students. Over the course of 6 months, 38 interns joined us […]

The Shearwater seismic acquisition fleet has benefitted from satellite internet access for many years. When this connectivity was first established it changed the industry by introducing the concept of survey collaboration and significantly reducing survey data access time.  With seismic acquisition surveys taking place in the most isolated corners of the Earth, geostationary satellite solutions […]

By Leedert CombeePrincipal Geophysicist “Welcome to Pearl” – three words that continue to resonate after the launch event of Pearl in Madrid in June: it was the ultimate moment when our CTO Massimo Virgilio finally called four Pearl nodes to the stage, carried with grace through the central aisle of the event hall and onto […]

by Kerri GoodeESG Analyst In November 2022, Ardenna – Shearwater’s employee-driven Gender Inclusivity Network, reached out to various industry partners and associations to explore potential collaborations and conference presences around the globe.  I was asked to contact external networks in the Western Hemisphere and would like to share with you my experience from one of […]

Story from Nadja, Internship in GeophysicsOslo – July 2022 – September 2022 Natural disasters are always largely spread in the news, and often move people as it could affect anyone. From a young age on, these incidents have also moved me: wondering what caused them and how we could predict them, in order to protect […]
