Geophysics Consultants

Syntillica offers expert geophysical interpretation services in exploration, appraisal and development scenarios. Interpretation of seismic data requires the geophysical technical know-how to understand the acquisition and processing flow that has produced the data.

Just as significant is the ability to interpret the data expertly while aligning mapped structures and features with geological knowledge from a range of basins and settings.

Syntillica’s geoscientists combine existing reports and prior knowledge with the client’s geophysical, geological and other data (e.g. wells, core reports etc.) to map realistic models of the subsurface. Integration of disciplines provide the ideal basis for static and later dynamic or geomechanical models.
