| | Geokinetics and dGB have launched an industry sponsored consortium to develop a commercial system for pre-stack depth migration (PSDM) and velocity model building (VMB) in dGB’s OpendTect environment. This system is designed to overcome many of the shortcomings of the current commercially available imaging/velocity model building packages. It is expected to provide the processors and interpreters with a state of the art, easy to use, accurate and efficient interactive system that is based on 3D visualization-style representation of the seismic data. |
The consortium began September 1 and will finish in one year. The deliverables will be a pre-stack enabled system, with a number of commercial plugins for VMB, Kirchhoff PSDM, and tomographic inversion. The entire system will be fully integrated, allowing the user to perform all the necessary operations within the OpendTect environment. The modular architecture and Open Source aspect of OpendTect will allow additional migration algorithms, such as wave-equation based ones, to be easily added. Modern interpretational tools, such as automatic horizon and fault tracking, salt body detection, and lithofacies and sequence stratigraphic analysis will also be available. Included with the sponsorship are licenses to dGB’s commercial plugins for dip-steering and neural network analysis, as well as a proprietary case study to fully illustrate the use of the system. Current sponsors include OMV and Gaz de France. The consortium will be open for new sponsors through first quarter of 2007. A proto-type with many of the functionalities is currently available for those who may be interested to join. For details on benefits of sponsorship and more information contact
