Probe is a state-of-the art AVO system that combines high-end science with the latest software technologies, for the performance of 2D/3D AVO inversion, analysis, and modeling. The collective integration of data, knowledge, and technology, including amplitude preserving preprocessing, seismic-to-well calibration, AVO inversion, elastic modeling, petrophysics and 3D interpretation, is provided in one unique system.

Probe's key features include:

  • Real-time access to prestack data, AVO synthetics, AVO attribute volumes, and 3D geobodies in a highly interactive setting
  • Angle or offset gather input
  • On-the-fly gather generation from angle stacks
  • On-the-fly AVO preprocessing, including amplitude balancing, wavelet equalization, residual moveouts and fourth-order moveouts
  • Advanced QC feasibility analysis tools for analyzing acquisition geometry and the effects of structure on AVO analysis
  • Model-based AVO inversion
  • Full functionality in both time and depth domain
  • Pre-and poststack AVO data visualization and interpretation
  • Comprehensive AVO crossplotting, including crossplot-to-VoxelGeo connectivity for direct geobody detection
  • AVO along horizons
  • Direct links to interpretation and well log data stores
  • Advanced well log data management
  • Elastic AVO modeling, including fluid substitutions
  • S-wave estimation
  • Seismic to well calibration and wavelet extraction
  • Unique 3D model-based AVO modeling away from the well bore
