Most of today’s exploration and reservoir characterization projects use a limited seismic data workflow – a combination of structural/stratigraphic seismic interpretation activities associated with simple attribute extractions along seismic horizons. These extractions alone are not comprehensive enough to capture the complexities and heterogeneities of geologic facies.
Additionally, the many physical and geometric attributes of seismic data are often too difficult to interpret on their own or incorporate into a composite interpretation that makes use of all available seismic, well bore, and geologic data, extent and properties. Interpreters need to work between horizons with seismic and well log patterns to secure a better facies interpretation that can be used for prospecting, field development and reservoir model determination.
Extend Interpretation Workflows
No single attribute can effectively describe a prospect or reservoir. Determining which combination of attributes provides the most complete picture is a random and time-consuming process. The ideal solution is to integrate certain efficient data reduction algorithms into a routine seismic interpretation workflow that describes the variability of the seismic response over the reservoir or an area of interest and extracts seismic patterns (classes) that can be correlated with geologic facies.
Paradigm™ Stratimagic® combines various trace data attributes that describe the trace “shape” into a unified analysis and classification process, generating a single classification volume that can be used with well data and other supporting attribute volumes to optimize the interpretation process. This dedicated seismic facies classification solution merges structural and stratigraphic interpretation, accurate seismic shape variability analysis, and multi-attribute classification. Only Stratimagic provides easy generation of the seismic facies set and accurate classification of an interval over single or multiple volumes.
Increase Interpretability of Results
The proven Stratimagic methodology enables confidence in the results and dramatically decreases turnaround time. Paradigm designed Stratimagic for those exploration and product geoscientists, interpreters and geologists who are dissatisfied with current workflow limitations for modeling the complexities in seismic data volumes. Stratimagic performs fast, systematic facies classification based on network self-organizing map technology. This structured classification process produces more interpretable results that reveal the distribution of different seismic responses.
