ION completes acquisition of JavaSPAN

Houston-based geophysical technology, services firm ION Geophysical Corporation announced Tuesday that it has completed acquisition of the company's latest basin-scale geologic program, JavaSPAN(TM). The program provides a new regional 2D seismic framework of the Eastern Java Sea and the Makassar Straits, two highly prospective areas offshore Indonesia.

JavaSPAN extends from Madura Island, East Java to south of Sulawesi and north into the Makassar Straits.

The JavaSPAN library contains nearly 10,000 kilometers of long-offset, long record-length data that was acquired using a custom-designed source and processed using proprietary multiple attenuation and pre-stack depth imaging technologies.(alex)
