SurvOPT - for 2D, 3D & 4D Seismic Surveys
More Efficient Seismic
SurvOPT is the industry standard planning and costing tool.
SurvOPT is used by the world’s leading acquisition contractors and energy
companies to help design, bid and acquire billions of dollars of seismic projects each year.
SurvOPT is specifically designed for 2D, 3D and MAZ surveys and can also be
used for 4D and WAZ.
SurvOPT uses data about sail lines, obstructions, tides, currents, vessel
performance and costs to build detailed, fully costed simulations of
efficient acquisition plans.
SurvOPT 3.4 includes powerful new features including tools for
coverage modelling, planning port calls and urgent replanning.
SurvOPT’s powerful
optimisation engine
searches millions of plans
to find ways to complete
the survey as fast as
possible, even allowing
for obstructions, tides and
currents.

Energy Companies
SurvOPT can take you from just a polygon and a file of
obstructions to a fully worked, costed simulation of an entire
survey project in minutes.
You can quickly explore a wide range of potential surveys and find the most
cost effective way to meet your imaging objectives. SurvOPT can easily cut days -
and millions - from the survey duration and cost at the design and bidding stage.
Once the survey is underway, you can work more closely with your contractor by using SurvOPT as a
powerful communication and review tool, and make rational trade-offs between cost and data quality.
SurvOPT’s flexible
simulator lets you preview
acquisition progress and
environmental conditions
over any of these routes.
SurvOPT 3.4 includes the
new Coverage Preview
Feature that shows
potential coverage
over the shooting plan.
You can configure the
preview to show the
effect of different binning
parameters and fan
shooting, or just get an
idea of infill rates.
Acquisition Contractors
SurvOPT is the ultimate project planning and costing tool,
letting you examine the effect of any design change in
detail. As well as finding efficient shooting plans and
accurate completion estimates, you can compare vessels or
configurations side by side, explore different costing models,
generate undershoot areas and examine likely infill rates.
On the boat, SurvOPT finds acquisition plans that optimise
online conditions while minimizing line change time. SurvOPT handles obstructions, timesharing, currents, tides, priority
areas, maintenance, crew changes, circles, port calls and
weather downtime.
SurvOPT even lets you specify feather requirements on
individual lines and will optimise line scheduling around them, putting you on the right line at the right
time without unnecessary delays. The powerful coverage predictor lets you see what you’ll probably cover
and what you won’t.

Companion products
SurvOPT comes packaged with New QuickPLOT (for generating
P1-90 preplots), VesselTrack (a simple GPS logger for linechanges) and Tidalyse (for tide and current analysis and prediction).
