History
Geophysical service company SOLITON ltd is a private enterprise formed as a team of professional geophysicists.
SOITON Ltd was established more than 30 years ago in Gelendzhik city of Russia Federation.
The company inherit the electrical prospecting techniques and teams of YMG Ass. and YMGNG Trust.
Since 1993 it became a private enterprise SOLITON Llp.
Soliton Ltd uses the High Resolution Electromagnetic (HREM) Operations which originated in the 1990’s, and was successfully patented in 1989 - 2001.
During last twenty years SOLITON Ltd continues to develop technology components proprietary sources, receivers, acquisition systems and data processing software for HREM.
The main areas of our activity are exploration of hydrocarbons and minerals deposits, water sources and engineering survey in on- shore and off-shore environments.
We offer wide range of integrated geophysical services to petroleum and mining operators and provide complete solutions on the basis of up-to-date techniques and Operationss.
Our advantages are based on an integration of standard industrial technologies and our unique patented developments that could be utilized in complex surface environments such as mountains, deserts, transit zone, shelves, lakes and rivers.
The application of Know-How electromagnetic technologies provides high quality of field data and increases a reliability of prognoses with essential reduction of total cost.
Worldwide experience
Since then, Soliton Ltd has completed over 250 EM surveys in various geographical conditions. Totally more than 35000 km of EM lines were acquired in land and marine environment.
We are serving for more than 30 customers, including the world's leading petroleum companies.
The main result is reducing of exploration risk and increasing of drilling success rates up to 82% in 2011.
