Inversion toolkit

Inversion toolkit

The Sharp Reflections software hosts a comprehensive kit of tools that work together to fix data quality problems ahead of inversion, and provide conditioned angle stacks that greatly improve prestack inversion results. Accessing the full toolkit lets you extend seismic quality assessment all the way to inversion.

Fine-tune your seismic data conditioning, interpretation and explore inversion constraints—acquire the most geologically meaningful results and manage risk

The Sharp Reflections INV toolkit features two modern inversion technologies giving the user flexibility to support various interpretation tasks. CRAVA1, a model based prestack Bayesian inversion that provides all elastic properties, and PCube+1, a one-step probabilistic inversion that provides probabilities for geological properties such as lithofacies and fluid classes, as well as elastic property cubes. Both technologies are recognized as the best in the marketplace.

Geological features such as compaction trends and lithological features are set up as input to the inversion. Uncertainty is considered at each step of the integrated inversion process, delivering robust lithology-fluid probability and allowing calculation of risk volumetrics. This uncertainty can be extended to interpretation, as the inversion technology allows the structural model to be automatically updated during the process.
