Azimuthal Analysis and Processing

In fractured rocks, velocity varies as a function of Azimuth. Global's analysis software performs Prestack Azimuthal Imaging for a range of velocity azimuths and magnitudes. Dozens of images are created for each surface location. At each location, the image with maximum coherency is picked to create a volume of velocity directions and magnitudes.



I have been telling you about bonds that have a short term maturity. When I say short term, I am talking about 4 years or less from purchase to maturity of the bond. Global Geophysical Services Moody’s rating is Caa1 and its Standard and Poor’s Rating is B+. The bond gives $105 per year and sold recently for $919.50 each. The recent yield was 13.19%. The CUSIP No. is 37946SAB3.

If this bond is purchased with 3 years and 6 months to go to maturity, the bond holder would get $367.50 in interest plus at the purchase price of $919.50, the bond holder would get $80.50 at maturity. So on a $919.50 investment, the bond holder would make $ 448.00 for a total return of 48.722%.

Global Geophysical (NYSE: GGS) recent stock price is $4.11.
