Interpretation
Both qualitative and quantitative interpretations are available using our dedicated software tools and workflows. In addition to standard products ARKeX's IIS group can provide enhanced seismic interpretation and integrated velocity modelling to influence 2D and 3D PSDM work.
ARKeX currently has a vessel with BlueQube Marine gravity gradiometry technology in the Red Sea off the coast of Saudi Arabia, where it is acquiring data for an NOC. The vessel, suitable for transition zone areas, is capable of operating in to approximately 8m of water depth in order to guarantee the best possible coverage and data quality.
Upon completion of its scheduled survey (Q2, 2011), the vessel will be available for follow on proprietary work in the Red Sea, Gulf of Suez and Nile Delta/Mediterranean Sea areas. An anticipated low mobilization fee will make a follow on survey extremely cost effective.

More than just gravity
The core technology in BlueQube is gravity gradiometry. Gravity gradiometry is a measure of the differential acceleration of the earth's gravity field over a unit distance. It measures minute variations in the earth's gravitational field and is a direct measure of the density of the subsurface, effectively the rate of change of rock properties.
With significantly increased resolution and bandwidth over conventional gravity measurements, gravity gradiometry gives better resolution of geological features and an improved understanding of your target geology. BlueQube also uses complimentary data sets with a multi-disciplinary approach to solving exploration challenges. Swath bathymetry and magnetic data can be simultaneously acquired with the surveys and is available as an option upon request.
Next steps?
Data collection for the proposed surveys will be prioritised on a first come, first served basis. To ensure that your area is covered or if you have additional areas of interest speak to ARKeX now.
