Meaningful and Useful Interpretations: Our professional consulting services consist of state-of-the-art proprietary and industry standard computer-based processing, modeling (forward and inversion) and interpretation software that is operated by a team of registered and highly qualified experts. Seasoned professionals in our Toronto-based Interpretation Group evaluate and assess the data to ensure that data are processed effectively (using proprietary approaches) and that the inversion results and interpretations are geologically realistic. Web-based conference presentation or face-to-face meetings are provided with clients at the end of each project to review and coordinate interpretations. Our focus is to provide timely and meaningful results that address the geologic issues for the property under consideration and that also respect and integrate the geologic information provided by the client.
Geophysical Modelling and Inversion Facility
Inversion algorithms are evolving fast, and by adopting the latest methods and software, Quantec routinely provide reviews and new interpretations of old data sets as an asset. Our suite of software tools for Geophysical processing and inversion is robust and has been developed by leading people in this field.
New to Quantec Data Processing
TITAN 24 first came on the exploration scene in 2000. One of the distinguishing features of TITAN 24 was that it collected 24 bit distributed raw time series data for both DCIP & MT. While many people at the time did not know the importance of this, as it was a new innovation, it really meant that the data set collected from a TITAN survey was truly an asset and could be reworked in the future as processing and inversion concepts improved.
All of our TITAN surveys collect raw time series data. In the last decade there have been significant improvements to our data processing routines and inversion algorithms. Some of these data processing improvements include:
- The raw time series can be revisited with enhanced new signal processing methodologies for both MT and DCIP data.
- Enhanced signal-to-noise ratio and is accomplished using new frequency distribution algorithms and less aggressive smoothing algorithms for MT that provide cleaner and more reliable data at uniformly distributed frequencies.
- New efficient data editing software is easier to use and provides computer-aided assistance with QC guides; improving workflow and efficiency.
- EDI data files may be created with separated stations (for TITAN 24 profiles) and with MT parameters as impedance and Rho/Phase as well as the spectra.
- We apply our unique enhanced in-house front end and sensor calibrations that improve the MT response across the spectrum.
- We now offer enhanced and very fast 3D inversion capability and turnaround for DCIP and MT datasets.
- 3D inversion can be applied to both 3D acquisitions in addition to enhancing legacy 2D acquisitions (TITAN 24 collects-cross line information for MT and the data can be treated in 3D).
- Benefits include improved imaging of cross structures and oblique features and other 3D effects present in 2D data sets and modeling results.
- Improved complex geology imaging through 3D acquisition and inversion.
Why should I revisit my legacy TITAN data set?
Reprocessing from the raw time-series data, re-inverting and re-interpreting your legacy TITAN 24 data may be an extremely cost effective exercise to consider prior to further exploration on your property. Our data processing routines are constantly under development with new techniques, capabilities and workflows being added. There may be more information in your legacy data than originally contemplated. By reprocessing from the time-series and applying our current enhanced processing tools and techniques, your legacy data may reveal new findings and enhanced imaging, providing additional value to consider in your current exploration and/or development programs.
