ARKeX, the provider of geophysical imaging services have contracted ARK CLS to develop ARKeX's ARKFIELD™ software package

ARKFIELD software enables the interpretation geophysicist to visualise, model and interpret potential field data in conjunction with 2D/3D seismic data. The agreement with ARK CLS will ensure that the future development of the software continues to build on the tight integration with seismic and other complimentary data sets. The latest version of the software includes the ability to seamlessly integrate SEG-Y data with potential field data all within the same software package.

Further planned enhancements include:

• 2D and 3D interpretation of seismic data and assembly of Earth model bodies
• 2D and 3D forward calculation and inversion of gravity, gravity gradiometry and magnetic data
• Incorporation of borehole and seismic attribute information
• Export of SEG-Y seismic, velocity, density and magnetic susceptibility data
• Integration of ARKFIELD functionality as a plug-in to OpendTect

"Having the capability to integrate different types of geophysical data seamlessly into standard interpretation and processing workflows is increasingly more important to our clients. ARK CLS's expertise in seismic geophysics will ensure that the software continues to develop and meet these future requirements", said Phill Houghton, ARKeX, VP Business Development.
