Moveout Data, a UK-based specialist in seismic data services, recently announced the launch of Metaseis, its proprietary data transformation software, to the global seismic data market. The platform extends access to the same proven technology that has supported the company’s growth and client delivery since 2014, enabling organisations to efficiently prepare, manage, and optimise seismic data at scale.

Metaseis is a customisable, platform-agnostic solution designed to address the increasing complexity of seismic data management. Built on Java architecture, the software operates seamlessly across Linux and Windows environments, allowing users to integrate it easily into existing workflows while minimising setup time and operational overhead.

“From the outset, we made a strategic decision to develop our own software, and that investment has paid off,” says Darren McDonald, Managing Director at Moveout Data. “Metaseis has enabled us to respond quickly to client needs and evolve continuously through processing petabytes of real-world data. By bringing it to the global market, we are giving clients access to the same competitive advantage that has underpinned our success.”

Metaseis supports a full suite of capabilities including tape transcription, reformatting, data sorting, organisation, quality control, validation, and metadata extraction. These features help transform previously inaccessible or unstructured datasets into usable, compliant, and analytics-ready assets. The platform has already demonstrated its value in large-scale industry initiatives, including its role in supporting the UK National Data Repository, where it streamlined regulatory compliance and enabled enhanced data accessibility.

“Metaseis has been built by seismic data geophysicists, not a software house,” McDonald continues. “It’s shaped by real-world challenges and designed with usability in mind. Users can be up and running within hours, avoiding the need for extensive training while still benefiting from powerful, enterprise-grade functionality.”

With increasing demand for cloud readiness and AI-driven workflows, Metaseis will enable organisations to standardise and prepare seismic data for advanced analytics and machine learning applications. “By streamlining data preparation processes, the platform improves efficiency, accelerates time to insight and can ultimately eliminate physical storage costs” says Steve Callan, Sales Director at Moveout Data.”

“The launch of Metaseis to a broader audience is a natural next step in our mission to maximise the value of seismic data,” Callan added. “We are effectively democratising high-quality data preparation—putting intuitive, powerful tools directly into users’ hands, supported by a responsive and experienced team.”

Moveout Data is offering trial licenses of Metaseis to organisations interested in evaluating the platform’s capabilities.
