"The use of ffA software has greatly increased our understanding of the Columbus area depositional system and has
provided invaluable input to our field development plan"
Kathy Kelly, Staff Geophysicist, Serica Energy plc.
March 2009
"We were pleased with the results of the ffA Spectral Enhancement workflow, which aided picking the reservoir units
and improved resolution of small-scale faults"
Reg Robertson, Senior Geophysicist, Fairfield Energy Limited.

"The work that ffA has done is really useful for us. Some geological features were imaged very well with the
'right combination' of RGB blend from the frequency decomposition, and this really shows things that
I have not been able to see before in this dataset which is quite complicated to interpret, mainly because
of the abundant injected sands which have a chaotic occurrence."
Carmen Garcia Carballido, Senior Geologist, Maersk Oil

"ffA’s Dip and Azimuth attribute volumes, combined with a continuous Top Rotliegendes seismic surface, significantly
facilitated mapping of subtle lineal elements known to affect fluid compartmentalisation in this part of the
southern North Sea gas province. In addition, ellipsoidal seismic artefacts related to the occurrence of halite
pods in the lowermost Zechstein overburden became apparent."

"This collaboration is extremely exciting for us. We see SVI Pro as a vital link in our workflows and will contribute
to many aspects of our value chain. The cooperation with ffA will allow us to remain at the forefront of emerging
technology and to screen large amounts of 3D seismic data quickly, dynamically and effectively. The full integration
of this software into our technical portfolio will allow us to focus our energy and technical competence on exciting
and under-explored play fairways and utilize our unique access to the most extensive seismic database in North West
Europe to the utmost"
Paul Spencer, Chief Geologist, Genesis Norway
April 2007
"Hydro started working with ffA in 2004, and it is remarkable that we have managed to produce a step change in 3D seismic
analysis technology in such a short time. The quality of our relationship is excellent, and a major factor has been ffA's
consistency in developing innovative technology to challenging specifications, on time and in budget"
Dr Chris Leppard, Hydro Senior Geologist
January 2007
"Gaz de France believes the techniques being developed in collaboration with ffA will enable us to have a 3D
understanding of the degree to which faults, as geobodies, may act as flow barriers. This can have a major impact
on our exploration risking and development strategies and therefore on the economics associated with a reservoir."
Jean-François Dutzer, Geophysics R&D Manager, Gaz de France, HQ
November 2006
"During the past year, Sterling Resources (UK) Ltd and ffA have worked together on several UK North Sea projects.
We have found that the work completed by ffA has greatly accelerated our ability to evaluate leads and prospects.
In addition, the use of ffA technology has enabled the definition of critical geological features with greater
clarity and definition than the more conventional methods available to the industry. As a result of the above rapid,
detailed evaluations Sterling was able to successfully progress its farm out activity and attract partners."
Stewart Gibson, Managing Director, Sterling Resources Ltd
"ffA technology has been used on several Hydro NCS exploration projects and has consistently improved de-risking of
prospects, selection of drilling candidates and delineation of well paths. In a recent NCS project, ffA results exposed
previously unidentified reservoir compartmentalisation that improved confidence in volumetric estimates and was
subsequently confirmed by a successful discovery well. In another project in the Oseberg area, ffA results exposed sand
body geometries that have directly impacted on the choice of drilling target and associated well path design."
Tom Dreyer, Chief Geologist, Hydro
"Kerr McGee was an early adopter of ffA’s volume interpretation technology…….. throughout our relationship ffA has
been very responsive to our demands for innovative approaches.
We are now working with them on a pilot project to integrate their technology into our E&P workflow to reduce risk
and enhance productivity."
Kerr McGee
"...more efficient cycle times from shooting to drilling... and better well placements in both exploration and development. ".
