Training

Troika International provides software and specialist services for transcription and pro-active Data Management procedures and processes.

The Troika team have worked in transcription and Data Management for many years and have developed training courses to hand this knowledge over.

Training Courses

Within the industry, knowledge is often lost due to retirement and career progress. Troika’s training will assist in providing expert knowledge in the field of seismic data formats and media.

Troika’s tailored training courses can be provided either in group sessions or on a one-to-one basis. The training can be held at our training facilities in Tunbridge Wells or Houston, at your preferred location or remotely via virtual services. The courses can be offered in bitesize chunks or in-depth sessions, working around your schedule and specific requirements.

Troika's understanding of seismic data is second to none

The Troika team has been involved with the SEG Technical Standards Committee since 1999. Members including Bob Firth, Jill Lewis and Victor Ancira have been driving the development, review and ratification processes of modern industry standards such as SEG-Y 1, SEG-Y 2, SEG-D 2.1, SEG-D 3 and SEG-D 3.1. The result is we understand seismic data recording formats better than any other company.
