GeoTeric: Frequency Decomposition – Revealing the geology before interpreting
Frequency Decomposition – Revealing the geology before interpreting
Frequency RGB blends reveal geological features in seismic data much more clearly than a single attribute. RGB Colour Blends highlight subtle variations / heterogeneity within a given geological entity and allow differentiation of features with similar amplitude characteristics.
There are three different methods of frequency decomposition in GeoTeric, each providing different results depending on the type and scale of geology that you are investigating.
- Constant Bandwidth
- Constant
- High Definition Decomposition

CGG: Starts Espirito Santo IV survey offshore Brazil
CGG Starts Espirito Santo IV survey offshore Brazil
CGG announces the start of work on Espirito Santo IV, a large BroadSeis™ 3D multi-client survey in the deep and ultra-deep waters of the Espirito Santo Basin offshore Brazil.
The Oceanic Champion is acquiring the survey which is expected to take seven months. This industry-supported survey will cover 10,300 sq km and be processed at CGG’s Rio de Janeiro Subsurface Imaging center. The high-end broadband sequence will include the latest 3D deghosting, Full-Waveform Inversion (FWI) velocity modeling and Tilted Transverse Isotropy (TTI) imaging. Fast-Track PSDM products will be delivered six months after completion of the acquisition.
Jean-Georges Malcor, CEO, CGG, said: “This new survey will expand our high-quality coverage across the Espirito Santo Basin, enhancing industry understanding of exploration potential in this promising region with an upcoming lease round. It reflects CGG’s commitment to invest in the innovative products required to support the successful development of Brazil’s oil and gas resources.”

- Geoscience mapping by drone
- Saturday, September 16, 2017
https://www.aegannualmeeting.org/short-courses - Antlers Hotel – Colorado Springs, CO
A one-day short course on using drones to acquire geoscientific data for more cost effective environmental and engineering projects.
Drones are rapidly becoming a tool of choice for gathering geoscientific mapping data at the property scale by geoscientists exploring for resources, conducting environmental site investigations, and providing geotechnical support to engineers tasked with planning and executing infrastructure development and resource extraction projects due to the relative ease of use, high quality data, and low cost per data point.
This one day short course is structured to provide those new to drones as well as those that are currently employing drones with the practical knowledge of photogrammetry and LiDAR base mapping as well as low altitude remote sensing using infrared cameras and magnetometers. In addition to instruction, industry experts have been invited to present case histories on the application photogrammetry and LiDAR using drones for environmental site characterization and detailed geologic fracture mapping.
There will be a special one (1) hour Industry Segment in the afternoon that will be open to anyone who is interested where six (6) UAS service providers and drone technology companies will present on their work and technology.
The last hour of the short course will be an open forum where the attendees are will be encouraged to ask questions of the industry experts, presenters, and instructor.
