Fathom

Refraction Statics and First Break Picking Solutions

Enhanced Capabilities of Fathom:

• Handles larger surveys
• Improves speed
• Improved user interface
• Greatly enhanced Picker supports picking in alternative sort planes (shot, receiver, offset)
• Users can vary refractor offset spatially and review refractor fold for up to 10
• Imports ASCII-format at solutions from any data source
• Supports refraction modeling as a true interpretative
• Handles fixed-cable marine data for transition zone processing
• Includes 2D or 3D interactive picking supported by an innovative solution-based Picker
• Calculates geometry corrections vectors for immediate application

Benefits:

• Interactive modular tool set provides step-by-step approach to refraction statics solutions, making Fathom ideal for production environments
• Analysis techniques developed from many years of experience assure users that solutions are derived from stable and successful algorithms
• Solution-based work flow promotes accurate and efficient picking of first arrivals
• Picker has improved interface for faster, easier picking
• Displays delay times, velocity fields and geometry error vectors on top of aerial photos for visual QC

Familiar time-offset displays speed users through the critical decision-making process of identifying refractors.

Evolving Picker technology combines interactive picking with innovative batch techniques.

The Shot Map Window with an aerial photo provides a map view of all shot locations. Various map display options (Show_Active, Show_Picked, Show_Predicted) color code the shots according to their status.

Visualization of refraction analysis data in an interactive map view promotes detailed understanding.
