Technology

GeoEnergy’s team of scientists and engineers has been at the forefront of recent developments in the field of Prolate Spheroidal Wavefunctions (PSWF).

GAWave’s patent-pending core algorithms utilize PSWF to accurately and efficiently represent bandlimited data such as seismic wavefields.   The unique properties of the PSWF representation allow GAWave to solve the variable-density forward modeling problem using a low spatial sampling rate, while maintaining full accuracy across the bandwidth of interest with no numerical dispersion.  These features are especially important when modeling propagation through complex structures and/or at very deep depths.
