Interpretation
Paradigm 15.5 offers our
seismic interpretation and
seismic reservoir characterization users new functionality to improve the efficiency of their workflows and the quality of their interpretations.
SeisEarth®
| New Feature |
Why It Matters |
|
|
- Greatly enhances capabilities for stratigraphic and QSI interpretation workflows
- Better support for regional interpretation workflows
|
- Memory-efficient, multi-volume, multi-horizon, multi-survey flattening in 3D Canvas
- Extends flattening functionality to multi-volume, and to flattening-from-disk
- Create strata-sliced displays on many volumes for rapid reconnaissance of seismic data, to identify stratigraphic features between interpreted horizons
|
- Significantly improves stratigraphic interpretation capabilities in SeisEarth
|
- Horizon-fault contacts calculated and editable on-the-fly as interpreters pick horizon and faults in SeisEarth
|
- Enables users to generate and update fault-horizon contacts as they interpret and propagate
|
- Seismic Propagator QC attributes: Heredity, correlation and amplitude attributes are generated on-the-fly as propagation is performed in 3D Canvas
|
- Provides a QC and audit trail for propagated horizons
|
- Enhanced orthogonal line interpretation workflows
|
- Creates new panels in Section Window for line selections made in BaseMap, Section and 3D Canvas
- Improves support for “traditional” line-based interpretation workflows and eases migration from legacy interpretation platforms
|
- Time-stamped production data loading and animated display in Basemap and 3D Canvas
|
- Improved workflows for integration of seismic and reservoir production data
|
Explorer™
| New Feature |
Why It Matters |
- Global Velocity Model Builder
- Use well marker data directly
- Advanced formula calculator: Include any empirical function as a velocity source
- Multi-2D velocity section creation
- Batch creation of velocity/residual sections
- On-the-fly transformation of vertical velocity sources
- Vertical function extraction from volume/section
- Easy selection of multiple files and multiple attributes for extraction
- Easy comparison between different volumes and original functions (extract at displayed CMP location)
- Easy comparison between seismic and well velocity functions (extraction at well location)

Quantitative Seismic Interpretation
| New Feature |
Why It Matters |
- New Wedge Modeling tool, for Quantitative Seismic Interpretation (QSI)
- Analyzes the effect of bed thickness on seismic amplitude, based on:
- Thickness variation
- Water saturation perturbation
- Porosity perturbation
- Enables users to generate synthetic traces of thinning events
|
- Gives users the option to play the “what if” game (structure, fluid and porosity), and accurately assess their prospect
|
VoxelGeo®
| New Feature |
Why It Matters |
- Improved multi-volume loading in VoxelGeo
- Improved support for read/write of Epos interpretation objects
|
|
Seismic Data Attributes
| New Feature |
Why It Matters |
- Coherence Cube is included in the Seismic Attributes interface
- For many attributes: Option to calculate on-the-fly on the active block and update as the user moves the block
- Time slice option to calculate on-the-fly and display in a time slice block in 3D Canvas
- Dip-steered enhancement: Automatic calculations of dip and azimuth input volumes
- More attributes can run on GPU
|
- Evaluate/use attributes with no need to compute the full volume
- Significantly faster compute times
|
StratEarth®
| New Feature |
Why It Matters |
- New Well Header editor
- Easily populate with well data from the Epos repository
- New Well Zone Calculator
- Quickly create reservoir property maps from log cutoffs within user-defined zones, then save to Epos for gridding in BaseMap
|
- Vastly improves usability and enables more users to build custom headers
- Better integration between StratEarth/SKUA-GOCAD™ and Epos
