DILIGENCE. EXPERIENCE. THE ABILITY TO SEE THE BIG PICTURE.
The optimal interpreter of a seismic data volume is a petroleum geologist that is capable of integrating subsurface geologic data, regional stratigraphy, and geophysical interpretation together in a thorough review of an area. Our approach is to utilize our considerable experience in interpretation to efficiently delineate a prospective target, while special geophysical tasks - such as 3D project design and implementation, and AVO work - will be contracted out to a specialist within our network of geophysical consultants.
We load all 2D and 3D projects into our workstations using SMT's 2D 3D Pak software (including VuPak, SynPak, and the Rock Solid Attributes (RSA) Modules), performing all interpretation in-house; we are also cross-disciplined in the use of Landmark's interpretive software. Our new flagship workstation is a 64-bit (Windows 7) Dell T7500 with 24 GB of RAM and 7.5 TB of storage, with an nVidia Quaddro 4800 1.5 GB video card; powerful enough to efficiently load and interpret even the largest 3D mega-survey. In our role as Geophysical Data Manager for Vision's Exploration Program, we exercise special care in the maintenance of our license agreements, field and final tapes/discs, and support data.
We have earned a reputation for accurate seismic interpretation and innovative prospect generation. While we admire, respect and learn from the work of our predecessors, we will not hesitate to challenge any pre-conceived notions that might have caused a potentially lucrative seismic play to have gone unnoticed. Our principal goal is to employ seismic data as a useful tool in the development of a prospect. Key "show wells" - noteworthy for their shows of oil and/or gas in the target reservoir - are also very important. The optimal seismic prospect is one that combines good 3D data with abundant well control and one or several key show wells.
