Charles Mosher brings an extraordinary depth of expertise to our team, backed by more than four decades of experience in geophysical imaging and subsurface analysis. He earned his Ph.D. from the University of Minnesota and has built a distinguished career across three Fortune 100 energy companies—ConocoPhillips, Chevron, and ARCO—where he held pivotal roles including Geoscience Fellow, Research Geophysicist, and Research Advisor. Charles is widely recognized as one of the ind

We appreciate the interest shown in our proprietary process and workflows for converting 2D seismic to 3D seismic volumes. This overview addresses some of the most common questions we receive. We have developed a physics-guided AI workflow that transforms 2D seismic data into high-quality 3D subsurface volumes. Unlike conventional approaches, our models are built to honor physics laws and geophysical constraints. Our process begins with SEG-Y formatted post-stack data. Recog

Unlocking the Value The $10 Million Question Every oil and gas operator faces the same dilemma: How do you make confident drilling decisions without breaking the bank on seismic data? Traditional 3D seismic surveys deliver exceptional subsurface imaging—but at a staggering cost of $40,000 to $125,000 per square mile, with acquisition timelines stretching 12-24 months. For exploration in frontier areas, carbon capture site screening, or re-evaluating mature basins, this repres

Oil exploration has always depended on accurate subsurface imaging to find viable reservoirs. Traditional methods often left geologists and engineers with limited information, increasing the risk and cost of drilling. The introduction of 3D seismic volumes transformed this process by providing detailed, three-dimensional images of underground formations. These volumes have become essential tools in modern oil exploration, improving decision-making and reducing uncertainty. Ho

A Padetech Perspective Seismic data is the foundation of subsurface understanding. For decades, geoscientists have relied on 2D seismic lines to interpret underground structures. While 2D data offers valuable insights, it often falls short in capturing the full complexity of geological formations. That’s where Padetech comes in. As a consultancy recognized for its seismic imaging expertise, Padetech specializes in converting legacy 2D seismic datasets into high-resolution 3D

Seismic data has long been a cornerstone for exploring the Earth's subsurface, especially in fields like oil and gas exploration, earthquake research, and environmental studies. The challenge has always been how to process vast amounts of complex 3D seismic data efficiently and accurately. Recent advances in technology have transformed this process, making it faster, more precise, and more accessible than ever before. This post explores the key innovations that are reshaping
