Multi-3D and -2D survey data and interpretation within SeisEarth 3D Canvas enables a better understanding of basin evolution. |
The Paradigm SeisEarth seismic, multi-survey system provides geoscientists multi-2D and -3D tools for creating seamless interpretation and analyzing seismic data from prospect scale to basin scale.
Basin Perspective
Visualizing data from multiple surveys in 3D space enables interpreters to gain new insights into the seals, sources, migration paths and reservoirs for hydrocarbons over all or part of a basin. In fact, the ability to assemble well, seismic and interpretation data into a 3D view for a basin-sized area can change the nature of an interpreter’s questions. Instead of asking, for example, “Where are the hydrocarbons in this prospect?” the question can be elevated to “Where are the prospects in this basin?” Or, “Why isn’t there a producing field here?”
Prospect Perspective
A prospect interpretation is far easier when its setting is understood from viewing the basin data. Rather than imagining the processes for a basin based on the prospect details, the interpreter can discover new relationships for seals or lack of seals when the producing wells are viewed in 3D, together with the seismic and interpretation data for the larger area. All of this added insight can lead to new plays or help to avoid nonprospective areas.
SeisEarth enables viewing of 2D and 3D seismic data in true 3D so that structures, faults, stratigraphic features and fluid contacts can be correlated across lines and between surveys, and then understood in the same fashion as for single 3D seismic surveys. Its suite of applications provides productivity tools for computer assisted horizon and fault picking, as well as fault outline generation for both 2D and 3D seismic data to further empower seismic interpreters.
