SeisEarth^™

New Feature	Why It Matters
For all new and updated workflows:  Parameters are saved in workflow for easy repeatability and audit trail​.
Workflows for Interpreters​ - updates ​Waveform classification updates (uses an advanced Artificial Intelligence process that excels at pattern recognition) Improved wedge modeling and classification connectivity Rock type classification updates (uses a Democratic Neural Network Association [DNNA] approach to predict facies distribution away from well control) New facies classification along well trajectories New method for neuron QC: Parallel plot	Waveform classification update enables multiple traces to be added to the trace model from multiple wells in one go Rock type classification helps interpreters extract more information from multiple data sources, for geological classifications, predictions and anomaly detections.​
New Workflows for Interpreters​ Attribute clustering A next generation unsupervised classification method Multiple uses Facies analysis Structural delineation from multiple seismic attributes AVO analysis from prestack data and AVO attributes Outlier detection Supports multiple outputs: volumes, maps and wells	Extends Machine Learning beyond facies analysis
New Workflows for Interpreters​ Workflow-guided approach to geobody interpretation and volume sculpting Geobody workflow - seed-based subvolume detection Sculpting workflow - functionality to sculpt or restrict volumes between horizons or constant values to aid stratigraphic interpretation	Extract geobodies directly from the seismic data in Integrated Canvas
New Workflows for Interpreters​ Interval attributes - BaseMap and Stratimagic interval attribute libraries in one application Create map from multiple seismic volumes in one go	Easy access to same workflow from all Integrated Canvas viewers: 3D Canvas, BaseMap and Section A smoother and faster workflow Workflow guided implementation for more and easier maps
Access to web-based Data Sources Interactive, on-the-fly displays of satellite and other imagery sourced directly from GIS systems
Stratigraphic Context Store, share, copy and switch on the fly between: Versions of well data selections, activity, and assignments between different users and Epos Projects Versions of Formation Tables	Embed different versions of geological framework and data selections per user within the same Epos Project Enable users to retrieve previous data selections and assignments with one action

  

Seismic Data Attributes

New Feature	Why It Matters
New Seismic Attributes Relief Highlights high impedance contrasts RMS Amplitude Reveals amplitude anomalies by measuring the magnitude of amplitude variation over a window DHI indicator Sweetness Attribute of the amplitude family used for sweet spot identification (e.g. gas sands) DHI indicator	Relief attribute provides an aid for structural interpretation RMS Amplitude helps identify stratigraphic features such as channels and reefs.
New workflow implementation of Dip Steered Enhancement (dip controlled lateral smoothing filter) New option to output residual volume provides a good indication of noise Smart defaults 3D Canvas integration for previews New workflow implementation of Spectral Decomposition New frequency band table provides information about output bands prior to computation More flexible parameterization + user- defined option	Dip Steered Enhancement: Reduced cycle time with user friendly workflow implementation  Access to previews in 3D Canvas for parameter validation Spectral Decomposition: Workflow-guided implementation improves ease of use  Additional control and more freedom  ​

Quantitative Seismic Interpretation

New Feature	Why It Matters
New seismic operation parameter optimization Run seismic operations on seismic data at the well location, for multiple wells simultaneously Compare output of the seismic operation with synthetic logs from wells Seismic operation parameter optimization: parameter alteration	Enhanced productivity More efficient QC Improved AVO/inversion results due to easier parameter optimization
Enhanced integration between viewer windows to enable interactive comparison of synthetic logs and poststack output from seismic operations	Improved usability and efficiency Improved display of synthetic modeling
Crossplot enhancements Multi-panel crossplot - enables interactive comparison of crossplot from different wells/lithology and/or different logs Display of rock physics overlay	More efficient analysis of well data from multiple wells/lithologies/logs Rock physics overlay enables QC/understanding of recorded logs by comparing them to known models
Miscellaneous enhancements Enhanced usability AVO plot and spectrum tool enhancements Select velocity for offset-to-angle conversion in AVO plot, and depth-to-time conversion in spectrum tool Spectrum tool interacts with spectral decomposition workflow Lithoseismic classification enhancements Stochastic refinement Enhanced interface in SKUA-GOCAD™ + new features Modeling of multiples in synthetic utility	AVO plot and spectrum tool enhancements provide clarity and flexibility, and better visualization and understanding of the data Automatic coloring improves display consistency from log data and lithofacies volumes from lithoseismic classification Stochastic refinement updates enhance usability and functionality for both SKUA-GOCAD and Epos users

StratEarth^™

New Feature	Why It Matters
Production data for the geologist Share production data with all applications Open single storage of time-based production data to all applications. Share time-based production data between Epos™ and StratEarth/SKUA Relative time display of time-based production plots Bubble labels no longer overlap in tight places Enhanced production gridding Input to production mapping can now be constrained by boundaries. The time intervals for gridding can be limited to increase performance and provide only what is needed. Minimum and maximum gridded results provide a more realistic, constrained result.	Loading data once to share across applications increases user efficiency, reduces duplicate data storage needs, and enables easier data management.​ Relative time based production plots allow easy direct comparison of multiple wells’ production history ​Mapping production, including constraints for minimum and maximum range, selecting time ranges for gridding, and utilizing lease or field boundaries increase the quality of maps.
New workspace experience​ Shared workspace UI with other Paradigm applications (including Processing & Imaging and Interpretation windows) Enhanced window management Improved Layout Management New Control Menu to open and manage views and windows Sharable, customizable session templates Enhanced page management Built-in templates to open context-specific pages User-created templates are sharable between users and projects Drag & Drop to un-dock/re-dock/re-order Close/Restore pages	An enhanced user experience for cross-discipline users Optimized use of the workspace with interactive and flexible tiling of 2D and 3D views and built-in layouts Save time by organizing workflows, displays and results using context specific pages
Improved usability of views Introducing View Scenes Save/Restore scenes for any view type Copy/Paste between views using shortcuts New Web views to display HTML content in both standalone window and embedded in 3D Viewer	Easily save scenes and restore them at any time, greatly reducing the need to create multiple redundant views. Interactive copy/paste accelerates the display of data in new views. ​Easier set-up for labeling and printing 2D Views. What you see is what you get
