"Hampson-Russell, seventeen-year veterans in developing and delivering geophysical software and services solutions to clients around the world, is helping the analysts in the region to make best possible drilling decisions with its rich consultancy experience and seismic modeling and processing programs”, a spokesman of the company in Dubai regional office says.
The company also offers a comprehensive training program ranging from public courses to project-based assistance. Wholly owned by Veritas DGC, Hampson-Russell has its state-of-the-art programming and research facilities in Calgary, Canada.
The company has its regional offices located in Buenos Aires, Houston, Jakarta, Dubai, London, Perth and Villahermosa. The Dubai office, headed by Adrian Smith, is responsible for all software solutions in the Middle East and Indian sub-continent.
Jointly run by co-founders Dan Hampson and Brian Russell, the company has been developing geophysical software for seismic projects that require reservoir description. Their shared passion for geo-science technology and their complementary business skills have combined to create one of the top geophysical software companies in the world. The company has posted a 600 per cent increase in licenses in the last 10 years. Its leading edge products like AVO analysis, STRATA Seismic Inversion and EMERGE Reservoir Attribute Prediction synthesise complex mathematical and geophysical algorithms into practical applications with which geophysicists can identify the potential within their oil and gas reservoirs. These sophisticated programmes are valued in around 50 countries across the globe for their intuitive navigation, innovative technology, low cost and credibility.
Currently the technologies on offer include AVO, seismic inversion, seismic attribute analysis, geo-statistics, 4D and multi-component (4C) seismic while AFI (AVO Fluid Inversion) is the newest addition in 2004. The company also offers regular updates for all seven software modules.
During the Adipec, Hampson-Russell will be putting its cutting edge technologies for public viewing and offer personal demonstration during the exhibition.
The company describes its goal as to research and deliver the tools in a form which is accessible to the working geophysicist. “While the techniques may be sophisticated, we always strive to determine the key process flow which makes these methods work reliably on your data,” the spokesman concludes.
