We will be demonstrating TesserACT on the Lenovo stand #1642, with public presentations at Noon each day plus a special Happy Hour presentation at 16:30 on Monday.
“TesserACT: Advanced survey planning for land, marine streamer, seabed and mixed mode acquisition”
In this talk, we will feature a number of survey design optimization projects on-shore and offshore, including our unique OBN scenario optimization capability for cabled systems, ROV nodes, nodes on a rope and flying nodes, as well as integrated seabed and towed streamer operations. We will also be making a major product announcement that will be of great interest to anyone seeking to minimize towed streamer 3D infill shooting.

ACTeQ sponsors successful SEG/GSH Web Symposium on Survey Design
The GSH Web Symposium on Survey Design (New Tools for New Challenges) held on May 29th 2019 was a first of a kind event that brought presentations from 8 industry thought leaders to a global geophysical audience. This format aids the dissemination of ideas by making the latest ideas available at low cost, and with no travel expense. The proceedings were recorded and are available through the GSH.
ACTeQ would like to thank the organisers, speakers and chairpersons for their efforts in making this event a big success.
ACTeQ founder and advisor Dave Ridyard provided a short article for the May GSH Journal to set the background for the web symposium. The article reviews 30 years of history (and in one case 1,000 years of history) to identify broader themes that remain relevant today.
We are hiring !

Survey Design in the Real World
A series of short articles addressing key topics in the arena of 3D survey design; Geophysics, operations optimization and TesserACT tips and tricks
TesserACT tools for compressive sensing
Compressive sensing is emerging as a powerful tool in the geophysicist's toolkit. TesserACT now offers a range of powerful tools to support randomization.

Survey Design for Full Waveform Imaging
Great imaging requires great data. In this short note, Dave Monk discusses one of the key factors that should be considered when designing a survey for FWI.
