Quality Control Department
The department is responsible for supervising the works of the company's technical divisions and departments, where its tasks are as follows:
- Monitoring and improving the product quality according to the international standards.
- Preparing the (2D & 3D) designs of seismic surveys with an integrated report for each project, according to the company’s plan and the Ministry’s directions or the request of the upstream companies, conducting field tests, calculating the costs of seismic surveys, and completing the monthly plans for seismic crews.
- Checking and auditing the seismic data recorded by the working crews.
- Auditing the processed data completed by the processing department.
- Following up the preparation and auditing of the results of geological, geophysical, evaluation, laboratory, and joint studies and issuing them for beneficiary upstream companies.
- Auditing the final field reports for each project and processing reports and issuing them internally.
- Auditing the CV reports of the 2nd level and referring them to the Human Resources Management Department.
The department consists of three Sections:
- Designs and Field Controls Section:
It consists of three units:
- Design Unit: The unit's tasks are as follows: -
- After collecting the required information, a design is prepared for the block or field to be surveyed to suit the required objectives, taking into account the costs of the survey.
- Preparing the final design report with SPS files. The report includes (the work controls required for the survey and a summary of previous seismic surveys).
- Calculating the demining area in the case of areas containing projectiles.
- Determining the number of points per square kilometer in the case of 3D surveying and the number of points per (kilometer/length) in the case of 2D surveying.
- Communicating with the Field Operation Division/seismic crew in the event of a displacement of points due to the presence of obstacles in the work area.
B- Field Testing Unit: The unit's tasks are as follows:
-At the beginning of any survey, the field tests (noise and signal tests) are conducted in the survey area.
- Establishing registration controls that are implemented by the seismic crew.
- Changing controls in case of difficult and rugged areas.
- Determining the area in which the tests will be conducted within the required survey area.
C- Survey Cost Unit: The unit's tasks are as follows:
- Establishing a system to calculate the costs of the 2D & 3D survey and determining the cost of recording one point before starting to implement the survey, based on the recording standards prepared by the Field Tests Unit or the design standards prepared by the Designs Unit, as well as the total cost of the survey in coordination with the relevant formations.
-Calculating monthly plans for the productivity of seismic crews working in the vibrating method and the crews working with the drilling method, based on the recording standards prepared by the Field-Testing Unit.
2- Studies Auditing Section:
The Section's tasks are as follows:
-Following up the stages of preparing and auditing the results of the geophysical, geological, evaluation and laboratory studies that are completed by the Geology and Geophysics Division and the Exploratory Research and Laboratories Department of the Oil Exploration Company and referring them for issuance to the beneficiary upstream companies.
- Contributing to develop the company’s annual and five-year plan (survey, drilling and studies) in coordination with the Geology and Geophysics Division.
- Auditing technical research for job promotion according to the technical controls that have been circulated to the company’s divisions and departments.
3.Field Data Auditing and Processing Section:
It consists of two Units:
- Field Data Auditing Unit:
The unit's tasks are as follows:
-Receiving daily reports from all seismic crews, auditing them, and then adding them to the (share folder).
-Preparing the daily and monthly reports of the operations of seismic crews to follow up the production work.
-Following up the technical issues (quality and production) in seismic crews.
-Receiving shipments weekly, auditing field data, and following up the progress of production work technically based on the controls.
-Referring the audited data to the processing and information technology departments.
-Auditing the final field reports for each completed project for internal issuance.
B- Processed Data Auditing Unit: The unit's tasks are as follows:
- Auditing all 2D and 3D projects for ongoing crews during the year.
- Auditing the loading of seismic lines in (SEGY) forms for completed projects.
- Auditing the seismic data processing operations for each project included in the annual plan of the Processing Department.
- Auditing the reports prepared by the Processing Department’s Sections for each completed project and issuing them internally.
