# OPERATIONS UPDATE

Airborne Full Tensor Gradiometry (FTG) data is helping operators optimize 2020/21 budgets and Bell Geospace is fortunate to have been back in the air since June 3rd 2020. 

We invite you to listen to Bell Geospace CEO Scott Hammond’s podcast or request a meeting with our team. Learn how Bell Geospace can help you to ride out the low oil prices and global pandemic.

At times like these, making a significant difference to your bottom line goes an extra long way.

### Exploring new areas

FTG provides the economical means for 3D information over  
under-explored areas. Square kilometer prices, dependent on  
acquisition parameters, will run 2-5% the cost of 3D seismic

### Integrating legacy data, planning new surveys

Integrating FTG with legacy 2D seismic data calibrates and  
enhances the interpretation of both. The end result is a  
product that in the right circumstances can be as useful  
as a full 3D seismic survey, and all at a fraction of the cost - [read more in this case example](https://info.bellgeo.com/bell-geospace-operations-in-a-pandemic-world-gom?hsLang=en)

### De-risking increasingly complex geology

FTG works extremely well defining shallow basement  
features, volcanics, salt bodies and lineaments such as faults  
or buried channels. It provides up to 50 meter spatial  
wavelength resolution over an entire survey area. FTG allows  
operators to optimise subsequent survey locations and parameters - [read more in this case example](https://info.bellgeo.com/shallowvelocity?hsLang=en)

### Meeting deadlines and work unit commitments

Acquire up to 20,000 sq.km. per month with FTG per system. Use infield processed data to plan and acquire infill on the fly over areas of interest for the highest resolution. Bell Geospace  
delivers final processed results within weeks of the last day of  
acquisition - [read more in this case example](https://info.bellgeo.com/bell-geospace-operations-in-a-pandemic-world-0?hsLang=en)

### Lowering footprint

A typical airborne crew of 5 people minimises the  
exploration presence a country. A small crew is less complicated  
to mobilise and easier to keep safe. Environmental Impact  
Assessments are more straightforward. Airborne operations minimise the environmental footprint of a survey
