3D chrono-stratigraphic seismic slice

Dual view of a seismic stratigraphic slice

In today’s exploration field, interpreters and modelers work independent of one another. On the same project the interpreter and the modeler often perform their work using different software applications. Even when they share the same software environment, their processes and outcomes occur independently. This disconnect can lead to faulty assumptions and poor modeling results. Paradigm™ SKUA® Stratigraphic Interpretation Modeling puts everyone on the same page by transparently merging seismic structural and 3D chrono-stratigraphic interpretation with structural, stratigraphic and reservoir modeling. By doing so, it significantly improves interpretation quality and reduces cycle time and uncertainty in prospect definitions.

Creates an interpretation and a model

Only SKUA Stratigraphic Interpretation Modeling provides a system that concurrently creates both an interpretation and a model - without loss of information and without introducing complexity in the interpretation process. SKUA Stratigraphic Interpretation Modeling brings together seismic interpretation and SKUA UVT-based modeling to enable better interpretation. Designed to be user-friendly, interpreters can continually validate their interpretation as the 3D model builds and updates automatically. At the end of the interpretation the user has a structurally consistent prospect map and a stratigraphic model. This iterative, tracked process allows for better-informed decisions, repeatability for improved quality control and faster results.

Easy to work with, Easy to Achieve greater results

Easy to learn and to work with, SKUA Stratigraphic Interpretation Modeling provides a straightforward integration of the interpretation and modeling tools. This new solution performs horizon modeling and 3D seismic paleo-transformation and produces a structural model that is both the geologic and the reservoir model. Unlike traditional interpretation systems that can’t enable structurally complex models, SKUA Stratigraphic Interpretation Modeling enforces structural and stratigraphic integrity of both the interpretation and the model and allows users to create water-tight structural models for velocity and reservoir modeling that minimize cycle times.
