MapSnapper 3D Process

Digital topographic and aerial photos or satellite images are purchased


Geologic structure maps are ortho-registered and digitized


A model is built and velocities are assigned from sonic logs; north-south cross section


A model is built and velocities are assigned from sonic logs; east-west cross section


The 3D model is built stacking sequential layers


The 3D model is built stacking sequential layers

The 3D model is built stacking sequential layers


The 3D model is built stacking sequential layers


The 3D model is built stacking sequential layers


Hazards are encoded into the database


Field scouting adds hazards and operations difficulties to the database


The 3D design is built using diagnostics from the model


Permit information is included in the database


Access for equipment is evaluated


Sources and receivers offsets are planned


A final shooting plan is developed for ray tracing


Coverage is evaluated


Offset contribution is evaluated
