Acquisition

4D Remote Acquisition QC

RIL will provide an onshore QC system to monitor the 4D acquisition. The system will incorporate mapping, repeatability, coverage and documentation.

P1/90 data acquired in the field will be uploaded to RIL for processing and analysis. At the agreed frequency a full set of 4D repeatability attributes will be generated for analysis by RIL. The results will be uploaded to our Web based GIS server for immediate online access for all relevant stakeholders. Conference calls can be arranged at requested intervals to discuss the results in relation to the ongoing survey planning.
