Mustagh has become a world leader in land 3-D program design. We perform a detailed analysis of the target to be imaged and review existing data, maps and objectives with the client. We calculate the optimum parameters for each area and calibrate our calculations against observations from existing data. Our experience with modern instrumentation and methods enables us to optimize a design for image quality and cost effectiveness.
We continually conduct research and study feedback and results of past designs in order to improve our product. We have developed a great deal of software to assist in program design and planning.
We currently design about 150 programs each year within Canada and about 20 or 30 each year outside of Canada.
We have amassed a considerable amount of field portable evaluation and processing equipment. We test and analyze the use of recording filters, vibroseis sweep optimization, instrument and geophone quality control (both recording instruments and vibroseis control instruments). Data quality is often enhanced by prudent selection of filters, pre-amp gains, instant evaluation of geophone pulse tests, and general parameter optimization.
Our familiarity with seismic field operations allows us to quickly evaluate the effectiveness of an operation and assist the crew in providing the optimum product to the client. Mustagh performs parameter testing and quality assurance on about 60 crews and programs each year. Our visits are usually only one or two days but can extend for the duration of the project.

In addition to the above courses, we also conduct special seminars on Instrumentation and the use of Field Design (3-D geometry modeling software developed by Seismic Image Software in Calgary).
