Combined technologies yield benefits in new JagSeis® software from Jaguar Exploration

Nov. 5, 2010 - PRLog -- In the new JagSeis Seismic Acquisition Management & Quality Control software premiered last week at the SEG 2010 conference, Jaguar Exploration uses a unique combination of technologies to get real seismic data acquisition quality control (QC) benefits to its field operations and its customers.

Web-enabled JagSeis software supports true quality control of the various phases of a seismic survey when energy companies are searching for oil and gas.

Jaguar is already the global leader in seismic QC project management. Now, says Olga Narvaez, Jaguar vice president of software, “We have a software solution that answers a demand for improved control among companies who collect and use critical seismic data to discover new sources of hydrocarbons.

“The convergence of leading-edge technologies has been crucial in making JagSeis software an initial success. In one multi-module program, we have integrated GIS and GPS handheld capabilities, web-enabled applicability and strong security in a way that helps our own QC professionals use their time more efficiently and our clients can access a much broader view of their projects – all in real time.”

For oil & gas exploration teams – whether multinational companies or national oil companies (NOCs) –effective quality control of seismic data acquisition and collection has become crucial. Jaguar President/CEO Julio M Jimeno, who presented the new system at SEG 2010 in Denver, says, “Jaguar field QCs and supervisors have gained the ability to review and verify statistical data every day, throughout the life of the project. Our team can track HSE and view workers’ performance for all project phases.”

Field QC personnel also use the JagSeis system to send, receive, verify and archive critical QC data safely and securely via the Internet. A customizable “dashboard” is another technological advance: Jaguar clients use it to review real-time statistics and analyze key performance indicators (KPIs), so they can make better project decisions.

No dedicated comprehensive QC management software has existed for web-based or any other environment, according to Jaguar sources. Customized seismic data QC management packages are rare (or nonexistent), even at the oil company level.

“For the increasingly important quality control niche,” notes Narvaez, “it’s a powerful combination of IT technologies and Jaguar expertise.” The company is now rolling out the new JagSeis program on a project-by-project basis for clients worldwide.
