Seitel Inc. is a leading provider of seismic data and related geophysical expertise to the petroleum industry. An industry veteran of (20 years), Seitel has emerged as an end-to-end solutions company comprised of several wholly owned subsidiaries.

Seitel Data designs and executes new seismic acquisitions by leveraging a multi-client strategy. These new data acquisitions, along with purchases of existing surveys from other companies, combine to create the largest non-proprietary seismic data library in North America. Presently, this exhaustive library encompasses over a petabyte of two dimensional and three dimensional seismic data located in every major oil and gas producing trend in the onshore domestic United States, the transition zone, and offshore U.S. Gulf of Mexico.

Olympic Seismic is Seitel Data's Canadian counterpart, created to provide a higher level of service and data to Canada's oil and gas industry. In addition to its existing warehouse and database, Olympic Seismic designs, markets, and executes new surveys.
Seitel's sales force generates revenue by aggressively marketing this comprehensive North American data library - as well as new surveys - to a wide array of oil and gas companies.

And now this massive database can be accessed using state-of-the-art information technology: Seitel Solutions , a proprietary, software-driven, data management system was created to archive, manage, and deliver Seitel's enormous library of seismic and related geophysical data on-line. The result? An organized and searchable virtual warehouse of oil and gas exploration information on the desktop.

Seitel Matrix is an in-house data processing division that provides the vital link between data acquisition and data interpretation. Matrix leverages the expertise of veteran seismic analysts and the processing capabilities of one of the largest supercomputers in the industry to produce data of the highest integrity.
