TERRA-IQ Ltd. specializes in providing oil companies with expertise in leading-edge geophysical technologies for reservoir characterization and seismic data interpretation.

The central goal of our reservoir characterization projects is to provide the reliable reservoir models required for forecasting oil production, evaluating various production scenarios, and optimizing field development. Our studies integrate seismic data with logs, cores, potential fields, and geological data in an effort to create comprehensive reservoir models.
