DUG Technology (DUG) is very pleased to announce a new partnership with Wintershall
Dea, with the formation of a global “virtual seismic processing centre”. Wintershall Dea, a
leading European independent gas and oil company, will utilise DUG’s seismic data
processing and imaging expertise.
The “virtual” version of the concept “inhouse seismic processing centre” will allow each of
the decentralised business units of Wintershall Dea globally to collaborate efficiently and
directly with DUG. It will combine strengths of both companies via integration of expert
knowledge from processors and interpreters to maximise seismic-data value. Combining
processing and interpretation insight, throughout a project, creates synergies that
promote a beLer understanding of subsurface geology and more informed decisionmaking. Collaboration between these disciplines ensures that datasets are not only
processed optimally but also interpreted effectively. This translates to both efficiency and
more successful exploration and development outcomes.
The partnership has the added benefit of simplifying tendering and execution of
Wintershall Dea’s seismic processing projects, also promoting efficiency. DUG’s
geoscience experts will provide remote support ranging from advice and consultancy
services to entire bespoke (re)processing projects using DUG Insight, DUG’s powerhouse
processing and imaging toolkit, which includes DUG’s multi-parameter FWI imaging
technology.
For Wintershall Dea, the virtual model provides direct access to advice, testing of
methodology and full reprocessing projects in a both effective and efficient manner. DUG
was selected as partner because of their experience, technology, flexibility and reputation
for global technical support.
DUG’s Chief Geophysicist, Tom Rayment, said. “We look forward to realising Wintershall
Dea’s vision for a virtual seismic processing centre. The virtual model is an innovative way
to deploy global experience and resources in an efficient, collabora
