“1DFM is an all-in-one package on the workstation that integrates AVO analysis and interpretation into KINGDOM, making it easier for us to analyze pre-stack data.”
– Steven Rutherford, Director of Direct Detection Technologies, Seismic Ventures
Background
Seismic Ventures, a privately owned Texas corporation, helps reduce exploration risk by providing advanced seismic services to the global oil and gas industry including seismic data processing solutions, AVO and direct hydrocarbon analysis and modeling, as well as frequency and amplitude-based attributes.
Seismic Ventures is known for its innovative seismic data processing technologies that help clients reduce the risk of exploration and drill smarter. The company believes it is critical to utilize the most advanced risk reduction technologies available – particularly in today’s market of low oil and gas prices. Aligned with this strategy, Seismic Ventures became the first to acquire SMT’s KINGDOM 1D Forward Modeling (1DFM). 1DFM interactively models lithologic and reservoir fluid properties to show the effect on seismic traces and tie geology and seismic.
The Challenge
While seismic modeling has been around for years, the existing commercial products are stand alone programs that required importing and exporting of the other important data elements into the program – this process not only disrupted the interpretation workflow but it also took a significant amount of time.
The SMT Solution
1D Forward Modeling, fully integrated with KINGDOM, is the first major offering to provide easy to use AVO Modeling and Fluid Workshop capabilities in one place.
1DFM is an all-in-one package that seamlessly integrates AVO analysis and interpretation within KINGDOM, one of the most widely used and effective interpretation platforms in the industry. Easy to use 1DFM enables customers to get more insight into stacked and pre-stack seismic data for better interpretation and modeling.
THE SMT ADVANTAGE
1DFM is unique in that AVO analysis can be done within the same interpretation platform without having to transfer data, logs, and models between software systems.
With 1DFM, Seismic Ventures gains the ability to further enhance its modeling services and provide clients a comparison of real and synthetic seismic data. Interpreters can now explore "what if" strategies and interpretation alternatives, interactively in real time, which enables interpreters to better understand the reflection response of their exploration targets and how that response might change with depth, pressure and pore fluid content.
