Enabling cost-effective recording of high quality seismic data is a key requirement for any acquisition system. ION initiated and supported the growth of land 3D acquisition by introducing the innovative System Two recording system in the early 1990's. That spirit of innovation continues with the latest release of Scorpion and the introduction of Aries II, ION's cable-based land recording systems, and the commercialization of our cableless land recording system, FireFly. Together, Scorpion, Aries II and FireFly provide the ability to efficiently acquire analog or digital, full-wave (multicomponent) data in all environments - from the Arctic, mountain highlands and the desert to the jungle and marsh/transition zone (TZ) areas.
Our recording systems' product line includes:
Highly Efficient Cable-based Recording
Scorpion is ION's cable-based acquisition platform that utilizes single-point, digital VectorSeis receivers to acquire multicomponent seismic data. Scorpion ensures increased field productivity on high channel count surveys with simplified sensor deployment and retrieval.
ARIES II by ARAM, an ION subsidiary, is the industry's preference for high channel count cable-based acquisitions utilizing geophone arrays. With increased system capacity, advanced vibroseis features and transition zone support, ARIES II is the most rugged, reliable and robust system on the market.
Unleashing the Power of Full-wave Imaging
FireFly is a cableless acquisition system that enables the recording of cost-effective fully-sampled, full-wave surveys. FireFly delivers step-change improvements in image quality. By removing the constraints of cables, geophysicists are able to custom-design surveys for multiple subsurface targets and to increase receiver station density significantly to fully sample the subsurface. When connected to VectorSeis, ION's MEMS-based 3C (multicomponent) sensor, full-wave data can be recorded with the highest vector fidelity available in the marketplace. The cableless design of FireFly also greatly improves field productivity while reducing HSE exposure.
