The data enhancement toolkit includes a range of advanced tools and techniques for improving the quality, accuracy, completeness, and usefulness of data. Some common examples of advanced data enhancement tools include

• Demultiple
• Random noise reduction
• Gather flattening
• AVO-compliant scaling and wavelet harmonization across offset or angle
• Q compensation and spectral shaping
• Time-depth conversion
• Conversion of offset gathers to angle gathers and vice versa

Sharp Reflections software makes it easy to generate workflows in batches of unlimited volume size. It provides a powerful and intuitive tool for processing and analyzing large datasets. After interactively testing conditioning processes, our software provides a user-friendly interface and intuitive workflow generation tool that allows users to create and manage complex processing workflows.

In addition, the software includes built-in optimization features and scalable architecture, allowing it to handle large volumes of data efficiently and effectively.

Parallel, in-memory architecture is particularly well-suited to interactive testing and QC processes. In-memory systems store data in RAM (random access memory), rather than on a disk or other slower storage media. By storing data in RAM, in-memory systems provide fast access to data, allowing for near-instantaneous processing and analysis of large datasets.

As a result, you are able to

• test volumes rather than linkes
• test and validate data quickly and efficiently to ensure its accuracy and completeness
• perform real-time analytics and other time-sensitive tasks
• rapidly create iterations and test new data models and algorithms.

All the algorithms have been extended to azimuthal (wide azimuth datasets), time-lapse data, onshore and offshore, providing you with a smooth experience.

The processing tools are adapted to handle directional data, including common offset vector and common offset/common azimuth data. These datasets may be used to map the orientation and properties of subsurface geological features, such as fractures and faults.

The processing toolkits are also adapted to multivintage datasets, giving access to extra features to ensure full time-lapse conditioning, which can then be used to monitor changes in subsurface properties, such as fluid pressure, temperature or seismic activity over time.

Improving your QI or inversion attributes from angle stacks is also possible with the Sharp Reflections PRO toolkit. For example, noise reduction and stack alignment algorithms can be used to improve your final attribute quality. You can use the flexibility and the interactivity of the software to get the best of your input data whatever it is, from offset gathers to stacks.

“Health checks” are an important aspect of seismic data processing. They help to ensure that the data being analyzed is of sufficient quality and accuracy to support reliable interpretation and decision making. To assess the seismic data quality on the full area, health checks can be performed at various stages of the processing workflow.

Some key health checks that may be performed include the following.

• Noise and distortion analysis—to assess the level of noise in the seismic data, which can impact the accuracy and reliability of subsequent interpretations or QI studies.
• Data consistency and completeness—to assess the consistency and completeness of the seismic data, ensuring the AVO fidelity.
• Quality control of seismic attributes—to assess the quality of such attributes as amplitude, frequency and phase, to ensure that they are consistent and reliable across the full area.

Thanks to its in-memory architecture, Sharp Reflections software allows you to do interactive and extensive QCs. The QC maps can be linked to prestack data viewers to better assess the data quality and to better define the conditioning sequence.

The PRO toolkit can be used to get a better and a more reliable interpretation. It offers advanced noise reduction algorithms to attenuate random and coherent noises and help remove unwanted artifacts, resulting in higher quality seismic data.

The stack response can be enhanced by using time and spatially variant mutes, as well as weighted stack techniques to use only the data with the best S:N ratio.

The PRO toolkit streamlines the integration of the conditioning with QAI and inversion workflows. It allows you to assess in real time the effect of the conditioning on final products. The high-performance speed of Sharp Reflections software means you can assess the effect of individual processes on the attributes used for interpretation.
