OUR JOB AT EDCON is to help you solve geologic problems using gravity and magnetics.
We perform effective G & M surveys and deliver high-quality geologic information that help you save money in exploration and production by reaching sound geologic decisions.
We work with customers worldwide on problems ranging from shallow to deep objectives and from regional to prospect scales.
We complement both 3-D and 2-D seismic for finding oil, gas and minerals and for defining geology and monitoring reservoirs.
Our commitment is to provide you with the highest resolution gravity and magnetic results in the most responsive time and with the greatest reliability.
To help develop, evaluate and improve geologic concepts by providing superior quality gravity and magnetics information offshore, onshore and downhole and by continually improving the utility and range of applications through evolution of proven methods and creation of new solutions in instrumentation, acquisition, processing and interpretation.
RESOLUTION
To achieve the highest quality in gravity and magnetics information, EDCON uses a simple formula:
- better measurements
- + less noise
- + advanced processing
- = higher information content and greater value in geologic decisions.
Whether in land, marine or borehole environments, EDCON's commitment to high resolution assures information never before available from gravity and magnetics. Details of shallow anomalies and character of deep anomalies are preserved in high-frequency data, allowing a clarity of focus that would otherwise be blurred by filtering.
RELIABILITY
EDCON delivers reliability through attention to quality in every step of every project:
- Outstanding resources: Personnel, equipment and back-ups, plus the skills to get them to the right place at the right time.
- Extensive Knowledge: Understanding of how to best apply resources to solve the geologic problem and the ability to create new resources when needed.
- Timely Execution: Rapid mobilization, efficient acquisition and processing, minimum downtime, speedy resolution of problems and delivery when the information is most valuable.
- Effective communication: Between EDCON, its clients and seismic contractors, and between field acquisition and home office support, both during the project and in personal follow-up.
- Ongoing Commitment: Anticipation of needs, innovation to create required capabilities and dedication of resources to deliver needed benefits.
EDCON is widely respected for its reliable mobilization, completion and processing of marine, land, borehole and airborne surveys anywhere in the world.
RESULTS
To match our services to your needs for making timely and accurate geologic decisions, EDCON strives for:
- Impact: Delivery of geologically meaningful detail that will help solve exploration and production problems.
- Timeliness: Delivery at the right time and place, and in the right form to have impact on geologic decisions.
- Credibility: Performance with such outstanding quality that our customers maintain complete confidence in our services and our products.
- Positive working relationships: Achievement of long-term customer loyalty through competent, friendly and thorough services.
