Skilled, Motivated Employees
Terrex seeks to create a workplace environment that is:
a)
Managed at all levels by strong, competent, experienced individuals,
b)
Supportive of all employees’ personal and professional goals,
c)
Promotes a team-oriented approach to working in geographically and climatically challenging environments,
d)
Rewards individuals who display technical, operational and leadership qualities with increased promotion, travel, training and challenges within the Seismic Exploration business.
Client Partnerships
Terrex’ Management Team works in partnership with its Clients to Project Manage their seismic surveys, optimise 3D survey designs and recording parameters, customise seismic crew equipment configurations and crew personnel selections to maximize the “Value for Money” of the seismic data acquired.
Terrex considers each seismic dataset to be an “Exploration Asset” for the life of the local resource, to be integrated by our Client with all other geophysical, geological, petrophysical and engineering data acquired throughout the exploration and development program.
“State of the Art” Seismic Technology and Innovation
Terrex Seismic and Terrex Contracting currently provide “state of the art” Seismic Recording Systems, Seismic Vibrators and Control Electronics, Bulldozers, Graders, Camps, Support Vehicles and Telecommunications Systems in Australia.
Terrex’ aim is to progressively pioneer the use in Australia of:
a)
High Resolution 3D Acquisition (Point Source – Point Receiver methodology),
b)
Source Driven Acquisition for 2D and 3D,
c)
Point Source Acquisition using Hi-Force Seismic Vibrators,
d)
Heli-assisted Vibrator and Dynamite Source 2D and 3D,
e)
Multi-Component 3D Acquisition,
f)
Cable-less 2D and 3D Seismic Recording Systems,
g)
Improved Real Time Acquisition QC,
h)
Varisweep Sweep Technology,
i)
“Stakeless” real time GPS Surveying.
Terrex Key Performance Indicators
Terrex’ internal KPIs and objectives for each and every seismic program are reviewed at a Monthly Management Meeting and include:
a)
Maximizing HSE Performance (minimizing LTIs, MTIs, 1st Aid Incidents and Vehicle Damage),
b)
Exceeding Seismic Data Quality objectives (continuous improvement in Seismic Data S/N Ratio, Spatial and Temporal resolution),
c)
Providing exceptionally good “Value for Money” for Clients (as measured on a 3D “cost per square kilometre” or 2D “ cost per linear kilometre” basis),
d)
Minimising Terrex’ “Environmental Footprint” (minimizing line clearing requirements, CO2 emissions, production of waste material from field crews),
e)
Maximising ROI and Minimising Crew Downtime (analysis of monthly P&L, Balance Sheet, Weekly Cashflow Forecasts, Downtime Statistics and Breakdown).
The process by which all above objectives are met is through employment of skilled, highly motivated Office and Crew personnel and implementation of new seismic technology to increase operational efficiency (eliminate downtime and increase daily seismic production rates) and then to train and re-deploy personnel into higher skilled positions.
Implementation of new Seismic Technology will increase the capital investment requirement of seismic crews however will reduce daily operational costs (labour costs) and reduce employee HSE exposure hours.
Safety and Environment
Terrex has a Duty of Care to all its employees and contractors to maintain a Safe Workplace Environment.
To facilitate this, Terrex has evolved its HSE Management over the past 5 years to include nine (9) qualified Managers and Supervisors deployed across the six (6) Terrex Seismic and Terrex Contracting crews.
Prior to commencement of each seismic program Terrex Seismic conducts a Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment of the project (usually through an investigative scout of the area) and generates a Site Specific Safety Plan (SSSP) and emergency responce plan (ERP) for inclusion in the Seismic Services Agreement between Terrex Seismic and the Client.
Throughout all seismic projects Terrex’ HSE Supervisors on the crews maintain proactive, vigorous pursuit of potential HSE Hazards and Risks and investigate any HSE Incidents that may occur. The HSE Supervisors also conduct new employee Inductions, issue PPE, conduct all Toolbox and Safety Meetings and monitor the health of seismic crew personnel throughout hot and arduous field conditions.
