Safety and Environment

ION is committed to helping oil and gas companies solve

their toughest challenges, throughout the Exploration and
Production lifecycle. Our experienced team of geophysicists,
geologists, engineers and other professionals – some of the
smartest and most innovative minds in the industry – strive
to push the limits of geoscience and engineering, every day.
Our goal is to help our customers gain a clearer picture and
understanding of the earth’s subsurface so that they can
locate and produce hydrocarbons, safely and efficiently.
W hether assessing the prospectivity of

a frontier basin or trying to maximize

production in a mature reservoir, global E&P

companies rely on ION solutions to help them

reduce risk and maximize their assets.

BasinSPAN™
At the beginning of the lifecycle, in the early Exploration phase, oil and gas companies
rely on ION’s 2D multi-client BasinSPAN programs to help them evaluate the potential
of new frontiers and identify new play concepts. Since we introduced GulfSPAN in 2002,
our BasinSPAN library has grown to include approximately 400,000 km of basin-wide,
deep, geologically driven data covering virtually all of the major frontier basins around
the world. Depth imaged by ION’s GX Technology (GXT) group using the most advanced
geophysical processing techniques and tools available, each BasinSPAN program is
custom designed to provide critical insight into the geologic evolution, deep-basin
architecture, and depositional and structural history of the petroleum system.

Arctic Solution
Since acquiring our first survey in the Arctic in 2006, ION has developed and applied
innovative technologies and solutions to help E&P companies eliminate barriers
to successful exploration and production in one of the world’s most challenging
environments. We offer specialized procedures, tools and equipment to safely and
efficiently collect high-quality seismic data under the ice, often in areas where no other
data exists. To date, we have acquired over 60,000 km of 2D seismic data in the Arctic,
including over 30,000 km under ice, and we are now ready to meet the challenges of 3D
acquisition. The newest addition to our Arctic toolkit, Narwhal™ for Ice Management, is
a system that integrates all available data to help operators better visualize and predict
ice conditions for safer, more efficient operations.
 ResSCAN™
Our ResSCAN onshore 3D imaging, characterization and microseismic monitoring pro-
grams help E&P companies better understand unconventional reservoirs to reduce cost,
risk and uncertainty, while maximizing production. ResSCAN programs integrate the
disciplines of geology, petrophysics, rock physics, geomechanics and geophysics with
reservoir engineering to characterize shale reservoirs. As a result, operators can better
assess acreage, prioritize drilling locations, optimize completion strategies and steer
horizontal wells to stay in zone, minimizing drilling and completion costs and maximiz-
ing the number of high performance wells.

Ocean Bottom Seismic

The use of ocean bottom seismic (OBS) continues to expand, driven by the need for
higher quality data to make better exploration and reservoir development decisions,
including for 4D monitoring of mature fields. This growth has been accelerated by
a step-change improvement in OBS acquisition efficiency and high end reservoir
characterization and quantitative interpretation techniques. With the addition of
OceanGeo, ION’s OBS acquisition services company, ION now offers a full suite of
OBS services, from survey design to data processing and reservoir services by ION’s
GX Technology experts.

Regionally Calibrated 3D
Leveraging geologic insights from our rich 2D BasinSPAN library, our 3D multi-client
Regionally Calibrated programs deliver high-quality, fast track 3D imaging to
companies in the Exploration and Appraisal phases.
