What Seismotech does

Seismotech (ООО «Сейсмотек») is a Russian limited liability company headquartered at the Skolkovo Innovation Center in Moscow that develops and licenses Prime (Прайм), a proprietary software system for interactive interpretation-processing of 2D, 3D, 4D, 3C, and 4C seismic data. Founded by a team with more than 25 years of collaborative experience in geophysical research, software development, and seismic processing, the company has built a 140-tool platform that covers depth-velocity modeling, multiple-wave suppression, Kirchhoff and BI migrations, kinematic-dynamic transformation, adaptive demigration, deconvolution, and integrated interpretation-processing workflows. Prime is registered in Russia's Unified Software Register (Record No.2561) and runs on certified Russian operating systems (Astra Linux, RED OS) over PostgreSQL in C++, giving it preferential positioning in domestic oil and gas procurement under import-substitution rules.

The platform is applied to complex marine and land surveys including heterogeneous near-surface conditions, salt domes, strongly dislocated tectonics, transition zones, and wide- and narrow-azimuth geometries, and is supported by patented technology such as the Method of Multivariant Tomography of seismic survey data. The company has executed more than 100 marine and land projects, with disclosed performance benchmarks such as loading 10 TB of marine data in 24 hours and executing 3D SRMP and 3D SRME within 30 days.

Seismotech operates a sales-led, direct-to-enterprise model that monetizes Prime through non-exclusive perpetual licenses (priced individually by user count, hardware, and modules), recurring technical support subscriptions, project-based seismic data processing services, consulting and supervising, custom R&D, and usage-based access via the Prime Cloud offering on Yandex Cloud. Its customer base is concentrated among major Russian and CIS oil and gas producers and exploration firms (including Rosneft, Gazprom, Gazprom Neft, Lukoil, Surgutneftegas, NOVATEK, Tatneft, Sakhalin Energy, Yamal LNG, and Belarusneft) and geophysical service providers (including Purgeofizika, executed jointly with Yandex Cloud).
