Survey Planning and Design

At Terrex Seismic, we take away the stress and hassle of planning, designing and managing your seismic projects.

Since the early 1980s, exploration companies have collaborated with Terrex Seismic to fulfil their future energy exploration needs across Australia.

We prioritise understanding our clients' exploration objectives and offer comprehensive services from planning and permitting to final data interpretation, leveraging both our internal capabilities and strategic partnerships that align with our values.

Our clients consistently select us due to our demonstrated success in:

• Prioritising safety
• Meeting deadlines
• Adhering to budgets
• Ensuring compliance with governmental, client-imposed, environmental, and cultural heritage regulations, alongside industry-leading best practices

Whether your needs are greenfield exploration, reservoir development or brownfield rejuvenation, we can plan a solution.

Acquisition Services

At Terrex Seismic, our core business is providing high-quality, low-cost, onshore and transition zone 2D, 3D and 4D seismic data acquisition services.

Delivering world-class seismic surveys is ingrained in Terrex's DNA. We proudly offer a comprehensive suite of acquisition tools tailored to optimise crew configurations for maximum effectiveness.

With over 40 vibrators and in excess of 40,000 channels of recording equipment readily available, and the flexibility to access additional capacity if required, our crew configurations are primed to deliver high productivity, high-density, and high-quality surveys. Our unwavering goal is to ensure the efficient delivery of top-tier data while prioritising environmental sustainability.
​
Backed by operational expertise across all onshore terrains, shallow water, and transition zone areas, both domestically and internationally, Terrex is ready to address diverse challenges with precision and excellence.

Whatever your exploration goal, our experienced team can help.

2D Seismic

Survey large areas with 2D seismic. Assess your acreage, infill existing 2D grids, understand the wide geological context.

3D Seismic

Increased understanding of subsurface complexity with 3D seismic. Reduce uncertainty associated with the structure or stratigraphy, narrow in on targets, uncover the fine detail or your resource. 

4D Seismic

Monitor fluid movement in basins with 4D seismic. Effective for carbon sequestration monitoring and ground water movement.

Associated Services

In addition to our core business, Terrex Seismic can offer the following auxiliary services:

• Microseismic/passive seismic monitoring
• Field project management including permitting
• Provision and management of mobile field camps

Quality Control

Rigorous systems, procedures and reporting.

We meticulously design sophisticated and robust Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) systems and processes to ensure the acquisition and safeguarding of our clients' highly valuable seismic datasets while adhering to our contractual obligations and commitments.

Our measures encompass both pre-survey and ongoing checks:

• Pre-survey: Before initiating seismic acquisition, we conduct thorough assessments of source and recording hardware to ensure performance meets manufacturer specifications.
• Spot-checks: Throughout the seismic acquisition process, we conduct regular checks at various stages to verify that all equipment is operating correctly and in accordance with manufacturer specifications.

​Upon completion of the survey, we compile a comprehensive Final Operations Report that encompasses both client-specific and regulatory reporting requirements. This report serves to provide a summary of the program and preserve the day-to-day details of seismic project from start to finish for future reference.

Our processes ensure we provide our clients with the highest quality service while fulfilling our contractual obligations and commitments.

​The final report is inclusive of line preparation and restoration operations, survey and positioning, seismic acquisition, and QA/QC processes undertaken as well as detailed HSE reporting. The report covers survey design and acquisition parameters, equipment and instrument specifications, key personnel positions, as well as discussing the project logistics, technical justifications behind survey designs and acquisition parameters chosen.

At Terrex Seismic we specialise in a fast turn-around, seismic data processing solutions that empower our clients to extract invaluable insights from complex geological data. We provide initial data processing that gives our clients reassurance in the quality of data we acquire as well as tailored solutions to various subsurface targets.

Processing and Geophysics

With the expanding role of geophysics in emerging energy sectors, our team is at the forefront of the energy transition in Australia.

Our experienced team of geophysicists partner with our clients to ensure the seismic data acquisition process is efficient, accurate and has minimal impact on the environment.

Our team work with our clients to process the data to maximise the benefits of the effective utilisation of the seismic data for any project.
