Software Update: Best-in-Class 4D Seismic Analysis
Sharp Reflections Release 2024
Release 2024.1 rounds out the 4D module and firmly establishes Sharp Reflections as the premier seismic 4D analysis platform, whether you are starting from multi-vintage prestack gathers or stacks.
Sharp Reflections 2024.1 delivers powerful updates to help you thrive in a time where precision, speed, and adaptability are needed now more than ever.
Here are the new features:
Relative PCube+
Fast, Streamlined Pre-Stack Inversion for Interpreters
Designed for interpreters and geophysicists alike as an alternative to both traditional colored inversion techniques and full-blown prestack inversion, this fast, easy-to-use inversion computes elastic properties across multiple seismic vintages or azimuths in one go and can be used for robust differencing that can correlate with pressure/fluid/azimuthal changes in the reservoir. Whether delivering early-stage interpretations or QCing post-migration workflows, Relative PCube+ democratizes prestack inversion, ensuring you’re always a step ahead, without requiring specialist expertise.
Automatically estimate wavelet, SNR, and scalars from multi-vintage input angle stacks
Quickly produce multi-vintage relative inverted elastic property volumes. Optionally, QC against available log data.
Enhanced Co-Visualization of 4D Seismic and Well Data
Context Meets Clarity
Seamlessly place 4D seismic data in geological and operational contexts. Correlate attributes with lithology, porosity, and well completion data while customizing/filtering well displays to zones and/or times (via drill and vintage date synchronization) of interest, including along laterals. Perfect for teams striving to bridge geology, geophysics, and operations, these features ensure you see the whole picture as it develops over time.
Display log overlays on both sides, and along lateral portions, of well paths. Optionally apply on-the-fly log filtering to QC at seismic bandwidth.
Well log overlays now supported in Map Viewer
Add operational context with well completions displays in viewers.
More good ideas
You asked, we listened. Release 2024.1 offers the following additional capabilities, developed in collaboration with you, for you.
Quality-of-Life Enhancements
Click to expand sections:
New Data Pool & Well Manager
Organize and Optimize Like Never Before
Experience better data management with sortable and filterable tables, custom folders, and bulk metadata editing and bulk volume/map export (SEG-Y/ASCII format). Keeping track of seismic and well data is now easier than ever – spend more time analyzing and less time searching for your data.
Revamped, table-style Data Pool. Sort, filter, group, bulk rename/save, and more!
New Well Manager — custom sets for organization and visualization, bulk editing functionality.
Automated Image Generation
Spend More Time Analyzing, Less Time Screenshotting
Time saved is insight earned. Streamline your reporting with bulk image exports and auto-generated HTML reports directly from Section (Stack, Gather) and Map Viewers. Configure annotations and loop over offset, angle, vintage, azimuth, or even multiple datasets to capture professional, report-ready images of both primary and difference volumes and maps.
Effortlessly create a series of screenshots for efficient, professional reporting.
Improved Session Handling
Pick Up Where You Left Off
Save your work-in-progress viewers exactly as you see them and pick up analysis tasks exactly where you left off with seamless session restoration, including newly added support for the Crossplotter. Don’t waste today’s time on recreating yesterday’s results – dive back in without missing a beat!
Extensions to PRO & QAI modules
Developed in collaboration with a major operator and longtime client, we are committed to continually providing the right tools for the job, whether you’re a processing geophysicist, QI specialist, or a reservoir interpreter.
Adaptive Amplitude Scaling
Effectively address lateral/vertical amplitude inconsistencies with a multidimensional (up to 5 dimensions) adaptive amplitude analysis and scaling, especially useful for (i) balancing amplitudes in onshore datasets and/or (ii) performing fluid-line scaling between near and far partial angle stacks, prior to AVO anomaly screening. Depending on the amplitude challenges you’re attempting to address, there are two operating modes: Adaptive Amplitude Compensation Scaling (AACS) & Adaptive Offset Dependent Scaling (AODS).
HiFives (Hi-Fidelity Inverse Estimate of AVO Slope)
Rapidly produce a suite of AVA attributes for quick anomaly screening using sparse spike deconvolution of near and far partial angle stacks and logical conditions that produce results that are semi-independent of input sampling, wavelet, NMO stretch and frequency dispersion effects, thereby reducing ‘false positive’ nomalies.
