The goal for the interpreter is to identify the compartments, faults, fault sealing, and trapping mechanisms that hold hydrocarbons, and to understand the depositional history of the environment. These factors help determine drilling locations, and ultimately, exploration and development project scope and cost. Understanding the structure is a prerequisite for other advanced processes that require structural knowledge.
Paradigm solutions advance the interpretation process by enabling linking of the interpreter and modeler by tightly merging seismic structural and 3D chrono-stratigraphic interpretation with structural, stratigraphic and reservoir modeling. This improves interpretation quality and reduces cycle time and uncertainty in prospect definitions.
We offer the innovative tools you need to improve interpretation productivity and accuracy for better exploration and development success. Using Paradigm solutions, geoscientists can fully understand the structure and stratigraphy to develop a virtual earth model of the subsurface. Our applications provide the interactivity and automation that enables users to minimize the time required to interpret and accurately model complex structures and then, by integrating the two processes, to identify important stratigraphic features.
