Paradigm™ EarthStudy 360®

Overview
Faced with declining production in many mature oil and gas fields, upstream energy companies are being forced to concentrate exploration efforts in areas of increasing operational and technical complexity. To conduct successful seismic programs in these conditions, substantial investments must be made to acquire wide and rich azimuth seismic data. While advances in seismic imaging and interpretation continue at a rapid pace, these solutions do not fully contemplate or handle the complexities and intricacies of seismic azimuth, leaving operators with a limited return on investment for their seismic programs.

Access More Accurate, Comprehensive Analysis
Paradigm™ EarthStudy 360® is a new service for imaging, characterizing, visualizing and interpreting a total seismic wavefield. Engineered as the industry’s first full azimuth and full wavefield exploration and development solution, EarthStudy 360 uses the complete recorded wavefield for a more accurate and detailed description of the subsurface.

The EarthStudy 360 innovative seismic analysis components include:

• EarthStudy 360 Imager transforms recorded seismic data to full azimuth reflection and directional data at each subsurface image point
• EarthStudy 360 Tomography updates velocity models using full azimuth residual moveout measurements and a full azimuth tomography solution
• EarthStudy 360 Processor creates many different subsurface attributes from the full azimuth directional and reflection angle gathers
• EarthStudy 360 Visualizer provides innovative 3D solutions to visualize and analyze directional and reflection gathers
• EarthStudy 360 Amplitude versus Angle (AVA) provides full azimuth solutions to determine subsurface elastic properties via the AVA method

Expert Paradigm geophysicists utilize the full suite of technologies to extract value from the newly available full azimuth prestack gathers. Associated solutions include full azimuth illumination analysis, full azimuth target-oriented imaging, full azimuth tomography / velocity modeling, AVAZ analysis, and full azimuth fracture detection/stress analysis.

Add Investment Value with Innovative Imaging
The Paradigm EarthStudy 360 service is for oil and gas companies seeking a higher return on investment from their seismic programs for their more valuable and visible exploration and development assets. By dealing with the azimuth component of seismic data in a continuous, accurate and comprehensive manner, the EarthStudy 360 service goes far beyond seismic imaging to deliver the industry’s only 360-degree, full-angle solution for rich and wide azimuth seismic acquisitions.

Increase Subsurface Analysis Accuracy
The Paradigm EarthStudy 360 service delivers improved imaging of potential reservoirs beneath complex geologic structures with full azimuth illumination. Paradigm EarthStudy 360 experts will:

• Use the full seismic wavefield to construct accurate kinematic and dynamic subsurface images from recorded surface seismic data
• Define in detail structural features such as faults and small vertical displacements
• Detect angle-dependent azimuthal anisotropy to determine orientation and spatial characteristics of heterogeneously distributed, sub-seismic, fine fractures
• Apply specular weighting and generate diffraction images to better delineate subsalt reflectors

Reduce Drilling Uncertainty and Risk
Using the EarthStudy 360 system, our service providers can apply new advanced methodologies to minimize the risk of expensive drilling in challenging environments with Paradigm EarthStudy 360.

• Increase outcome certainty with better seismic images, wave propagation models and subsurface velocity models
• Assess permeability or reservoir performance with diagnostic images of reservoir orientation and density
• Perform a full AVA analysis to determine reflectivity information from azimuth angle gathers
• Determine principle stress directions to complement well bore stability and pore pressure assessments with continuous azimuthal subsurface sampling
