Seismic Interpretation

Petrosys shakes up the direct visualization of seismic, surfaces and faults from 3rd party data sources.

Seismic information provides the primary shapes for most petroleum subsurface modeling. In Petrosys v16.8+ major enhancements are available for directly working with seismic interpretation data sources including the ability to directly display surfaces, horizon interpretation and the associated faults. The new function also includes significant steps forward for simplicity of use, by providing unified and more functional visualization controls.

Directly accessing this information, with improved controls will save time, reduce data duplication, prevent data transfer errors and increase the confidence in results by allowing your geoscientists to access the most relevant information - quickly and easily from multiple projects and multiple data sources.

Directly display seismic surfaces from SMT, SeisWorks and SeisWare.

Petrosys interactive mapping and 3D viewer now supports the direct display of 3D seismic surfaces from SMT, SeisWorks and SeisWare. Colorfill, Values, Highs & Lows and Sun shaded display styles are supported. This builds on our existing support for directly displaying 3D seismic surfaces from IESX and Petrel.

Increase efficiency & reduce data duplication. Directly display seismic horizon data from your interpretation projects.

Seismic horizon data is now able to be displayed directly from third-party packages using a number of visualization methods previously only available for Petrosys SDF display. The ability to directly display this knowledge alleviates the need for data transfer and duplication. The new features enable unique visualization options such as ribbon maps and posted data values. Direct display of seismic horizon data is now supported for the following data sources through the Display/2D Seismic option:

1. Petrosys SDF
2. Petrosys dbMap
3. GeoFrame IESX
4. Petrel
5. Kingdom SMT
6. SeisWorks
7. SeisWare

Horizon data read from external sources is cached locally and only re-read from the source when required - this provides users with high performance visualization.

2D Seismic display - a single improved display option, regardless of the data source.

Previous versions of Petrosys supported direct display of 2D seismic coordinate data from third-party data sources through a range of display options (one per data type). These separate display options have been merged into the Display/2D Seismic option, providing a single location from which seismic data from any source can be displayed. A very wide range of 2D seismic data sources are supported.

In addition, the direct display of seismic from OpenWorks now displays the full navigation data for 2D seismic lines, as opposed to just a straight line between the first and last shotpoint locations. Posting of raw shotpoint locations is now possible via the SP Posting Mode field in line style files. The display of raw values is available for all supported 2D seismic datasources.

Petrosys SDF display merged into single option

The Petrosys SDF display options have been merged into a single display option, which provides a variety of ways to communicate the valuable seismic knowledge encapsulated in SDFs, including line styles, posted data values, ribbon maps, etc. The new option includes all the functionality users know and love and has been simplified by arranging like functions into a series of tabs. A number of benefits result from this merge including:

• a single map layer can be used to display seismic data in a variety of styles that previously would have required multiple layers;
• all seismic layers can be picked and tracked; and
• an apply button is available to preview display style changes immediately.

Now you can directly display faults from your interpretation projects.

The Display/Faults option has been enhanced to allow the direct display of fault data from third-party packages - previously fault data from these sources had to be imported into a Petrosys fault file to be able to be displayed.

When fault data displayed on a map is picked, the Export Spatial option from the popup right mouse button menu allows easy export to Petrosys fault file format or other GIS formats for cases where additional manipulation or editing of data is required. Quickly and easily communicate your fault interpretation from the following sources:

1. Petrosys fault file
2. Petrel
3. SMT
4. Shapefile
5. SeisWorks
6. SeisWare
7. IESX
8. ArcSDE
