MESA Survey Design Software

Data acquisition is the foundation of the seismic lifecycle. It is critical that accurate decisions are made as part of the acquisition design process. In order to meet these challenges, companies require flexible and robust survey design tools that provide accurate analysis to effectively image their subsurface targets. ION's MESA software addresses those needs for both land and marine projects by optimizing survey design and planning to deliver the right information to help make those critical decisions.

MESA is the industry standard for designing seismic surveys. The development team works in partnership continuously with its customers to add functionality, improve performance, and enhance the user experience. MESA's principal functionality includes:

• Survey design and subsurface coverage analysis for 3D/3C and VSP surveys
• Geologic modeling, ray tracing, and illumination analysis
• Chronological project tracking and crew production statistics
