Company History

Seismotech, Ltd.

"Seismotech, Ltd." company was founded in 2010. For tens of years of its activity in the fields of seismic data processing, geophysical software development and correspondent scientific researches, the unique team has been created as the basis of the company.

V.M. Glogovsky (1936-2008), a doctor of Physical & Mathematical Sciences, an outstanding mathematician and geophysicist, was the founder of the company team and the author of the concept of interpretative seismic data processing. He developed the applied theory of reverse kinematic problem solution — the depth-velocity model building along with its compatibility and consistency verification. Glogovsky realized the interactive approach and operational usage of a priori information, which enables specialist to make the geologically meaningful decision directly within the workflow of seismic data processing.

One of the main advantages of Seismotech is the long-term experience in software development combined with the service performance directly in the field of the software application.

This combination of leading theory with the practical work aimed at the modern achievements in the field of hardware and technological solutions during the long-term cooperation with demanding foreign specialists and leading Russian academic institutes supported the intensive evolution of full-function software system, being unique due to its philosophy and algorithms. Prime software system, designed for interpretative processing of seismic data.

In 2016, Seismotech has become a project member of the Skolkovo Innovation Center.

The company became the winner of Petroleum Challenge-2016 competition held by Skolkovo in the "Oil and gas exploration and production” nomination. Our project “Building depth subsurface models using seismic data. New approaches to old problems solving was recognized as the best of the other 16 works qualified for final of competition organized in December 2016 by IF Skolkovo and Gubkin Russian State University of Oil and Gas.

In 2018, the company won a special nomination "GRID" in the startup competition at the 6th international conference for technology entrepreneurs Startup Village-2018.
