ION's comprehensive suite of products addresses the navigation requirements of 2D, 3D, and 4D seismic surveys for both towed streamer and ocean bottom seismic (OBS) operations.
Gator II for Ocean Bottom Seismic Operations
Gator II navigation system is designed to meet the unique challenges of distributed, multi-vessel ocean bottom cable (OBC), transition zone, and electromagnetic data acquisition. The system is extremely flexible and scalable to configure and control single vessel operations to highly complex surveys spanning multiple vessels and acquisition systems.
Gator II is tightly integrated with Calypso, our next generation VectorSeis Ocean II (VSO II) system, to further enhance the efficiency and safety of redeployable OBC operations:
Back-deck testing verifies system functionality during cable deployment
Continuous recording improves productivity and maintains data integrity
Fault isolation streamlines maintenance and repair of cables and nodes
Orca for Towed Streamer Operations
Orca Navigation System
Orca, combines acquisition, positioning, source, and QC systems' data management and control into a seamless platform. The system streamlines visibility and control to effectively execute challenging geometries and multi-vessel operations while delivering simple, efficient processes for 2D and 3D acquisition.
Simplifies and automates operations
Mitigates risks of obstructions and tangles
Increases efficiency of offline operations
Reduces survey costs, manpower, and infill
Makes previously unfeasible operations possible
