At DPS, our representative client list speaks volumes as to our quality, expertise, and service in the area of well log and seismic data scanning. From some of the largest oil companies in the world to small regional drillers, our clients have entrusted us for years with their most sensitive data and have grown to expect in return the best possible quality of product and personal attention to detail.

Like most of our clients, you have state of the art new data and seismic technology. Additionally, you likely have an abundance of older data on paper (mylar, etc.) which was created before newer technology had been developed.

Our Seismic Data Scanning team at DPS utilizes state of the art scanning hardware and software while incorporating the best possible quality control process. This allows us to convert your paper (mylar, etc.) data into clear digital form for easy accessibility on your PC or network.

At DPS, scanning is our business and we have solutions for jobs of all sizes. We scan large format documents with images up to 54 inches wide on media up to 56 inches wide and any length. We scan small format documents that are 12” x 18” or smaller, typically letter / legal. We are also proficient in scanning microfilm and microfiche.

Images can be scanned in black & white (2 colors, bitonal), grayscale or color. PDF and TIF are the most common formats. JPG and other formats are available.

Our creative team at DPS can offer a variety of new solutions depending on your needs. For example, we can scan your large format seismic sections and maps AND your small format seismic support data AND your microfiche and then consolidate all of this data for one seismic line into one PDF.

Using Depth Registered Logs

Scanning Related Services Indexing is created to your specifications and industry standards.   Depth registration can be performed following scanning. This process takes a scanned raster image and produces a file for use with software such as Petra to generate data such as that shown above.   Digitizing is the process of converting a scanned raster image to a scalable vector image suitable for CAD. We use heads-up digitizing (not software auto-vectorization) to create vector images to ISO 9001 standards.   Georeferencing and digital imagery can enhance your vector files. For example, a CAD drawing of an oil refinery can have aerial photography as an additional layer under the vector lines. Using GPS, both layers can be georeferenced. You can read the GPS location of an individual section of pipe on the computer screen and then walk to it using a hand-held GPS location device.   We will pick up a sample of your data and give you a DVD and a written quote - no charge. Pickup and delivery is free for medium to large jobs.
