Seismic Interpretation Expertise and Technology

FOCUSED ON RESULTS


Subsurface Clarity is a seismic data interpretation company specifically designed to generate integrated products aimed at the 3-dimensional nature and distribution of your reservoir targets; and at reducing your project cycle time.

In today’s data-rich and increasingly highly-specialized technical environment, we provide interpretation expertise and leading-edge technology to companies of any size.

Advanced software suites allow us to produce integrated interpretation products based on either 2D or 3D seismic data, and wells.

Data, Environments & Targeted Workflows

Visualization


We use 3D visualization, not only for scrolling through very large seismic data volumes and viewing final products, but as an integral part of our interpretation process. For instance, visualization is an important step in our multi-attribute seismic facies analysis, well and seismic data cross plots, color blending, volume rendering and geobody workflows.

Through a careful blend of expertise and technology, we integrate complex data sets to produce data-consistent interpretations.

for your environments…

Uniquely applied


3D seismic data volumes can be quite variable in terms of vintage, frequency content, and data quality. Our interpretation workflows therefore start with noise cancellation and frequency enhancement steps where appropriate. These steps are followed by the creation and editing of a 3D grid where every peak, trough, and zero crossing are used to generate a 3D model grid. This level of detail allows us to move quickly to sequence analysis and to focus our attention, very early on, to the depositional styles present within your target intervals, i.e., whether non-marine, shallow-marine, and/or deep-marine.

Sequence Analysis


The ability to include sequence analysis very early in our work allows us to identify major unconformities and minor erosional surfaces, basinward and landward shifts in deposition, and potential sites for bypass. We also use color -blended edge-detection volumes together with other structural attributes, e.g., dip, azimuth, curvature, to quickly visualize and map major structural trends. In addition, sequences based on Wheeler diagrams are generated from a continuous geologic time model.

Targeting conventional and unconventional reservoirs…

Focused Approach


Our workflows are applicable to both conventional and unconventional targets although each have unique needs.

Also, since our work is volume-based rather than horizon-based, we are able to observe vertical and lateral changes in structural styles and depositional patterns throughout the entire volume.
