OBN survey modelling made simple

Plan smarter. Model faster. Deliver with confidence.

Tracecount™ is a powerful survey modeling tool that simplifies OBN survey planning — from concept to results in minutes.

Create a complete project in just three easy steps:

Select your survey polygon
Set source and receiver parameters
Run the model

That’s it. Your results are ready in under a minute.

Tracecount™ integrates seamlessly with your GIS workflow, delivering instant checks and quality control on modeled survey output. Gain full control over your planning process with detailed coverage plots, time & motion analyses, and Gantt charts — all generated automatically.

Time and Motion studies

Use the modeled survey results to quickly run time-and-motion studies, estimating total survey duration, required node inventory, and key survey statistics. Run multiple iterations with different parameters to match the most realistic deployment scenario.

Instant Fold Plot Generation

Create detailed fold plots with a single click. Customize key parameters—including offset range and bin size—to match your survey objectives and acquisition constraints. Easily overlay both receiver and source positions directly on the fold display, giving you maximum visibility and control over coverage, geometry balance, and potential gaps.

With Tracecount™, you gain the insight you need to optimize survey design early—fast, intuitive, and fully aligned with operational demands.

Comprehensive Offset Analysis

Tracecount™ outputs the nearest shot–receiver offset for every CMP location, giving you a complete overview of minimum offsets across the entire survey. This helps identify coverage limitations early and ensures optimal imaging conditions.

Easily overlay both receiver and source positions on the map for precise spatial context and full control over geometry adjustments. With clear visuals and actionable insights, you can refine your design to achieve the best possible subsurface coverage and data quality.

Flexible Source & Receiver Setup

Create surveys with unmatched control and precision. Simply define your inline and crossline spacing, and Tracecount™ automatically calculates and organizes the full layout for you. Whether you’re working with a single source or a complex multi-source arrangement, you can quickly adjust positions, rotate inline orientations, and fine-tune your geometry to optimize coverage and operational efficiency.

All it takes is a click to generate a complete survey design—instantly establishing the foundation for planning, modeling, and execution. With Tracecount™, you spend less time configuring and more time delivering results.

Interactive Fold Exploration

Hover over the fold plot and click any bin cell to instantly view the shot–receiver pairs contributing to that specific CMP location. This interactive visualization makes it easy to inspect coverage quality, understand geometry behavior, and identify potential issues—right down to the individual traces.

With immediate access to detailed bin-level information, you gain deeper insight and greater confidence in your survey design decisions.

Seamless Integration with Industry-Standard Data Formats

Tracecount™ supports widely used Shapefile and GeoPackage formats as input for modeling, ensuring compatibility with your existing GIS workflows. Simply place your files in a designated folder and point Tracecount™ to the location—there’s no complicated setup or conversions required.

Once loaded, all available polygons are automatically detected and presented in a clear, easy-to-use drop-down menu, allowing you to quickly select boundaries, zones, or areas of interest. This streamlined process saves time, reduces manual steps, and helps you move efficiently from data import to survey design.

Setup fast. Analyze instantly. Decide with confidence.
