Decisions made on multiclient surveys are rarely ideal for specific target intervals. Sharp Reflections high-performance software contains a rich suite of post-migration processing tools that operate on gathers and on stacks, and quickly optimize the reliability of your seismic data—data that will be used throughout the life of the reservoir.

Work interactively with large volumes of high-fidelity data to extract and explore the amplitude evolution on any event throughout the processing workflow, without compromise. Link stacks, full-fold gathers and map viewers, and explore all angles of your data and prospect.

In development and producing fields, calibrate to new well data and remove noise on repeat seismic surveys to track fluid movement with greater precision.

Prestack gathers are needed to QC data and confidently track 3D changes in amplitude versus offset (AVO) for more reliable reservoir characterization. The Sharp Reflections software lets you work interactively with large volumes of high-fidelity data at high speed.

Interpret seismic amplitudes by rapidly tracking horizons, and extracting and mapping prestack and poststack amplitudes. Interpretation and map analysis are reinforced by prestack well ties and 3D parametric modeling and calibration. A broad selection of functionalities provides the user with a flexible interpretation canvas, meaning every stone is turned.

Build and apply automated work processes for consistent analysis.

Clever generation of infill horizons makes it easy to calculate horizon interval attributes. Smart organization of your many horizons and maps makes it easy to interactively scroll through any reservoir attributes, overlay topographic contours, and see on-the-fly differences at any stratigraphic level for any angle, azimuth or vintage.

Calibrate seismic to wells and use interactive cross plots to identify direct hydrocarbon indicators (DHI) to screen prospects and quantify the reservoir size.

Map reservoir surfaces and develop leads to drill-ready prospects.

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.

The platform features 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.

Understanding a complex geological structure, or what is potentially below it, provides better understanding of the risks and economics of a project.

Conventional data processing methods may not adequately address the challenges posed by subsurface complexities. The Sharp Reflections multidimensional data model preserves all azimuths and allows optimal conditioning and azimuth selection to better see and interpret your reservoir.

Interactive data visualization allows you to assess the ideal acquisition orientation and create associated stack and attribute maps in real time. Stack data along any azimuth, any incident angle and analyze huge multidimensional volumes so efficiently that the full-area dataset can be used throughout the workflow.

Track horizons in multiple dimensions for fast and accurate analysis of anisotropy on specific events. Estimate velocity on horizons or in the full volume.

The AZ tool allows you to dig deeper into your azimuth data and exploit anisotropy for fractured reservoirs and sub-salt reservoirs.

Use 4D time-lapse data to extract valuable insight into fluid drainage, injection efficiency and geological changes in the reservoir and the overburden. Prestack data makes it possible to attribute observed differences to specific changes in fluid saturation, pressure, temperature or even seismic acquisition and processing artefacts.

Reservoir teams have limited time for integrating 4D insights into overall reservoir management decisions, so speed and accuracy is vitally important. The Sharp Reflections software shortens the time spent on analysis by reducing and automating repetitive tasks and removing the need for shortcuts and compromises, thereby giving you greater confidence in your results.

The platform makes it possible to reduce analysis cycle time while addressing reservoir details that improve decision making for time-critical well placement decisions in field development. This is key as datasets continue to grow in number, volume and complexity. More information should not result in compromises. The platform maximizes the value of all of your data.

As part of the energy transition, focus will shift to better understanding of CO2 sequestration sites. Monitoring reservoir processes and knowing the extent to which a reservoir is depleted or fully utilized will be increasingly important, and 4D seismic will adjust to these new challenges.
