Ikon Science has announced the release of the first commercial version of its Modeling While Picking rock physics plug-in to Petrel seismic-to-simulation software.
The plug-in has been written to take full advantage of the Ocean framework and provides seismic interpreters with a fast and easy way to develop interpretational insight by incorporating rock physics methods into the standard interpretation workflow.
Using the Modeling While Picking plug-in, interpreters can now
- easily create and check the wavelet and phase of the seismic data,
- generate full stack and offset synthetics to visualise rock physics-based predictions of seismic signature and anomalies, and
- correct event picking and assess prestack data, inversion and attributes.
Models can be saved, depth-converted and used to validate interpretations as part of a full Quantitative Interpretation (QI) workflow, ensuring greater confidence in well locations for both exploration and development projects.
Martyn Millwood Hargrave, managing director of Ikon Science, said, “The beauty of this new advance is that it provides interpreters the full power of the industry standard RokDoc package inside the Petrel environment without the need to learn a new software package. Interpreters can model to create insights, reduce risks, check the validity of their picking decisions and decide what workflows are optimum for their play, prospect or field.”
“Based on input from several key clients, this new development adds significant value for geoscience professionals. The speed and ease with which Ikon has developed this plug-in reinforces the power of the Ocean framework and our openness strategy to accelerate the delivery of innovation to the industry,” added Justin Rounce, vice president software Schlumberger Information Solutions.
Presentations of this groundbreaking technology have already taken place to industry acclaim at events in
Live demonstrations of the Modeling While Picking plug-in can be seen on the Ikon Science booth (# 730) at the EAGE Annual Conference in
