Geophysical Surveys Database

A component of the International Exploration and Production Database, the Geophysical Surveys Dataset is used by petroleum engineers, geologists and geoscientists to access data on survey date, area or concession block, operator, contracted seismic company, crew or vessel, number of kilometers shot, and gravimetric or magnetic stations and acquisition details, such as energy source or CDP fold.

Worldwide Geophysical Data
This comprehensive database contains worldwide data on 51,300 geophysical surveys, including 2D, 3D and 4D seismic, gravity and magnetic surveys. A basic center point of the survey is also provided.

Use this dataset to:

• Quickly screen surveys shot in an area 
• Identify areas that are possibly underexplored 
• Determine crew efficiency 
• Scan opportunities for potential seismic acquisition, by area 
• Identify underperforming operators for possible farm-in opportunities 
• Evaluate the type of survey (spec, exclusive) 
• Review acquisition dates 
• Determine contractor companies

Survey Navigation Dataset Details
You can also access detailed onshore and offshore seismic acquisition data to locate lines and areas. The dataset includes:

• More than 270,800 2D shotpoint lines, totaling 8.76 million kilometers 
• 2,800 3D coverage areas, totaling coverage of over 2.02 million km2

The IHS Geophysical Surveys dataset is a component of our International Exploration and Production (E&P) Database and is available to subscribers as part of their subscription package.

International Exploration and Production Database
The International Exploration and Production (E&P) Database is the most comprehensive and reliable dataset available to oil and gas industry professionals.  Data is controlled in a unique relational data model (IRIS21) that provides a fully integrated data area with over 13,000 E&P data attributes. This fully integrated model allows for the combination of many different attributes, some of which are provided below.

The Geophysical Surveys Dataset
The Geophysical Surveys dataset is available through your E&P subscription. In addition to providing basic information for scanning purposes, this module offers:

• More detailed seismic acquisition data, as 2D shotpoint lines and 3D coverage area for both onshore and offshore activities. 
• More than 270,800 2D lines with a total of 8.76 million kilometers and 2,800 3D areas with a total coverage of over 2.02 million km2.
• Information on the type of survey (spec, exclusive), acquisition dates, operators or contractors and data quality for quick analysis of potential seismic acquisition in a specific area.
