High Resolution Aeromagnetic (UK)

High Resolution Aeromagnetic Data (HiRAM) was acquired using state of the art high resolution instruments recording from a bird (to reduce aircraft magnetic signature interference) flown in closely spaced flight lines (250-500m). HiRAM is as different from conventional magnetic surveys as 3D seismic is from 2D and is the very best data available. It is a cost effective means of integrating your block focussed seismic into the regional picture as well as an important constraint on seismic model interpretations.

HiRAM data allows the identification of many geological features on a regional scale, including:

• Normal faults offsetting a formation
• Entire fault networks as HiRAM images the basement and entire sedimentary section
• Buried river channels and old river systems
• Strike-slips faults difficult to view on seismic due to the lack of vertical displacement

IHS has HiRAM surveys in the Moray Firth (21,040km²), Quad 41/42 (2,435km²), North Channel (17,770 km²), St. George's Channel (6,457km²) and the English Channel (25,430km²).

The HiRAM surveys are offered on a per-block and per-survey basis.

IHS HiRAM data is deliverable via FTP, DVD and USB Hard Drive.
