25 years of software built by surveyors, for surveyors. When a day of vessel time costs more than most annual software budgets, you need tools built by someone who has been on the back deck.
A single positioning error cascades through the entire processing chain. The tools you use are not a line item — they are risk management.
Vessel time runs at hundreds of thousands of dollars per day. A navigation error discovered late means downtime, reprocessing, and in the worst case — remobilisation. Every hour of delay burns budget that cannot be recovered.
Regulatory bodies and E&P clients demand audit-ready positioning records. Generic tools adapted from hydrographic workflows introduce gaps in traceability. FGPS produces comprehensive, defensible QC reports built for seismic deliverable standards.
Traditional QC is backward-looking — you find problems after the vessel has moved on. Without real-time quality monitoring, you are relying on hope rather than data. SeisCloudNAV puts live navigation quality in your browser, minutes after acquisition.
From raw P2 acquisition data to final P1 deliverables — FGPS covers every step with dedicated tools, not adapted ones.
The complete P2-to-P1 processing engine for all marine seismic survey types. Handles the most demanding datasets with proprietary algorithms.

Traditional QC is backwards-looking. By the time you receive the report, the damage is done and the vessel has moved on. SeisCloudNAV puts live navigation data quality in front of you — minutes after acquisition, not weeks.
Our proprietary compression algorithm enables fast field upload with zero loss of fidelity. E&P companies, consultancies, and contractors all monitor the same survey simultaneously with unlimited user logins.
FGPS software is used by the world's leading seismic contractors, major E&P companies, and specialist consultancies operating on every ocean.
"FGPS software has been developed in the field and office using real data acquired by all the major geophysical contractors, under a multitude of configurations and conditions."
"The software equips surveyors with the means to perform in-depth technical analysis — held in high regard by users who need to do more than just produce a result."
Every algorithm, every interface, every workflow — designed for the specific challenges of seismic navigation. Not adapted from something else.
Founded in 2000 by Paul Dowd, with more than 45 years in the seismic industry. The software was written from a surveyor's perspective — because it was written by one.
Proprietary algorithms designed for seismic accuracy standards. We do not repurpose hydrographic workflows. We do not bolt navigation onto broader platforms. Precision is the only metric that matters.
Every product tested against real survey data from every major contractor under every condition. If it fails in the field, the field hears about it and we fix it. That loop of feedback makes better software.
Used worldwide, but small enough that you will know your support team by name. Software available in 6 languages. Independent — not owned by a contractor or conglomerate. Our loyalty is to our users.
Whether you need processing software for your fleet, independent QC for your next survey, or cloud-based monitoring for your operations — we will show you why the industry's best surveyors choose FGPS.
