    • Overview

      MESA

      MESA is a leading-edge software package that provides a comprehensive set of tools for optimizing onshore, offshore, and transition zone survey design and planning.

      MESA SimSurvey is an add-on module to MESA that performs time, motion, and cost analysis for seabed, towed streamer, and hybrid seismic surveys.

      Highlights

      It is critical that accurate decisions are made at the start of the survey design process. Reliable and robust tools are needed to analyse the imaging objectives of a seismic project.

      MESA software addresses those needs for both onshore and offshore scenarios by streamlining survey design and planning workflows.

      MESA SimSurvey extends MESA by allowing users to simulate acquisition logistics and assess operational efficiency. The module performs detailed time-and-motion studies to help estimate survey duration and cost, compare different acquisition strategies, and identify the most efficient plan for offshore projects.

      Together, they allow operators to plan and optimize  projects,  from survey design to operational execution.

    • Integration

      Designs created in MESA can be transferred directly to MESA SimSurvey for detailed operational simulation. This seamless link ensures continuity from geometry design through to time, motion, and cost analysis, enabling teams to assess survey feasibility and optimize performance before field deployment.
