About Us
Our services
Oil exploration companies use a wide range of geoscience application software and frequently require customised links to ensure common working between different packages from different vendors. Additionally, clients often need to integrate proprietary algorithms and methods into their core interpretation workflows.
ARK CLS can draw on extensive experience of using Landmark, Schlumberger and Roxar development kits to help implement robust software solutions to specific exploration problems. Our staff undertake both short term projects to solve specific problems and more intensive full application developments. In the latter case, a detailed specification process is set out by ARK CLS staff in close collaboration with the client.
Our software
Products for use in Landmark, Geoquest and Roxar environments are available from ARK CLS. Seismic Coloured Inversion (SCI) is an easy to use workstation product that allows the explorationist to generate inverted volumes without having specialised knowledge. Seismic Spectral Blueing (SSB) is a sister product to SCI which allows seismic data to be shaped to the observed Earth's reflectivity. Seismic Feature Enhancement (SFE) is a powerful flat-spot utility that enhances the signal of consistent flat events and reduces the "noise" of the channel reflections. Seismic Transfer Plus (STP) is a workstation software product for seismic transfer and data conditioning. Ideal ToolKit (ITK) is a specialist toolkit available to third party software vendors for the rapid development of data I/O modules for Landmark and Geoframe environments.
Our experienced staff
ARK CLS staff has extensive experience in geophysical software engineering including C/C++, Fortran, Java and HTML, and in working with and linking to all the main software tools in exploration geophysics. Clients benefit from the many years of project management experience of both large and small projects of the ARK CLS team. This, together with their wide ranging knowledge of seismic and potential field geophysics and geoscientific data manipulation, provides a powerful problem solving combination.
Our clients
ARK CLS has built on the client relationships of both founder companies which extend to exploration companies around the world and include major, national and independent oil companies together with service companies and consultancies operating in the upstream energy sector. Projects have ranged from substantial research and development programming to short turn-around database link utility development.
