Challenge:
A European university research group developing new techniques for Minerals Exploration and Carbon Sequestration needed a seismic processing platform that could easily integrate with their proprietary algorithms and experimental workflows. Commercial software options often lacked the openness or flexibility for academic R&D, and licensing costs limited student access.
Solution:
Claritas provided the perfect balance of open architecture and academic accessibility. The research team used the open I/O and scripting capabilities of Claritas to interface with their own real-time QC systems, validating data from field tests of new sensors and imaging techniques. Through the Claritas Academic Site License, every MSc and PhD student in the program gained access to the same professional-grade processing environment used in industry.
Result:
Claritas helped the university accelerate its research pipeline—allowing rapid prototyping of new algorithms—and gave students hands-on experience with real seismic workflows. This strengthened collaboration between academia and industry and positioned the program as a hub for carbon storage innovation.
