Data Conditioning

Tue, 21 Feb 2012 20:56:10 GMT

Data conditioning is strongly suggested as a first step in the overall interpretation workflow. It makes it easier to identify subtle but potentially important structural and stratigraphic features, understand event continuity and delineate faults and micro-fractures.

Video - Coordinate Conversion

Fri, 10 Feb 2012 20:13:27 GMT

Insight Earth 1.5 sets a new industry standard for Data accuracy with the addition of Coordinate Conversion.

Coordinate Conversion allows you to convert geographic coordinates among a wide variety of coordinate systems, map projections, grids, and datums.

Domain Transformation

Wed, 04 Jan 2012 15:40:55 GMT

TerraSpark's Domain Transformation technology unlocks the door to separating stratigraphy and structure and is unique in the industry. In other interpretation systems, depositional systems are imaged on stratal slices that can be created near interpreted horizons by flattening the volume on a single interpreted horizon. The limitation of this approach is that it is only accurate near the interpreted horizon. Insight Earth's Domain Transformation removes all 3D structural effects from a volume, creating an entire output volume in which every horizontal slice is a stratal slice - a paleodepositional surface. The transform properly handles differential sedimentation, differential compaction, unconformities (including angular), salt bodies, canyons, carbonate platforms, and can remove 3D fault displacements. The resulting stratal volume is ideal for imaging all of the depositional systems in the volume. The boundaries of the depositional systems are...

Interpretation and Consulting Services

Mon, 19 Dec 2011 15:38:14 GMT

Using our own breakthrough software, Insight Earth®, the TerraSpark Interpretation and Consulting team offers both onsite and offsite seismic interpretation consulting services, including structural and stratigraphic interpretation, velocity model building and well path planning.

Our interpreters assist clients in solving problems in shale resource plays:

Mapping the major structural elements with unparalleled accuracy and clarity
Finding and mapping micro-fractures
Illuminating the specific acreage positions and best reservoir conditions to focus your early drilling efforts for maximum production, maximum reserves
Delineating the shale facies change – the “sweet spot”
Performing the well path planning to avoid major faulting and plan the geosteering needed to remain in zone

With our Salt Velocity Modeling Toolkit, we help customers:

Rapidly capture of the entire salt sediment interface using Surface Wrapping™ and Surface Draping™
Accurately define salt overhangs and complex salt sediment interfaces using multi-z capability
Rapidly create a “mask” of the captured Salt body and insert salt velocity, then merge it with the sediment velocity model (outside the salt) to provide a complete velocity model for input to depth migration

Where there are poorly imaged salt geo-bodies, we can also:

Use multiple seismic attributes to provide a stopping condition when the salt sediment velocities are approximately equal and therefore do not generate a good reflection in the amplitude data. This stopping condition then provides an excellent, rapid, and detailed shape of the salt geo-body.
Create sub-volumes in the time and depth domain to employ different attributes as salt sediment interfaces reflections change character with depth, the capture the salt bodies in these different sub-volumes
Mask these different levels of the salt geo-body and then merge them all together for one complete model of the entire salt geo-body

The advanced fault imaging workflow highlights linear features in an edge stacked volume, and produces an attribute volume where high (bright) voxel values correspond to a high likelihood that a fault exists at that point in the dataset.

The fault enhanced probability volume provides the best fault imaging and allows for maximum use of automated tools in the next workflow step - fault interpretation.
