Rock Solid Images Chooses INT Toolkits to Build iMOSS, a State-of-the-Art Rock-Physics and Seismic Modeling System

 

The Challenge
Rock Solid Images processes hundreds of wells per year through a sophisticated and complex workflow comprising Geophysical Well Log Analysis, rock-physics diagnostics, seismic modeling, attribute generation, analysis and display. The workflows are implemented using a variety of in-house and third-party software applications

To increase the throughput and reliability of this process, Rock Solid Images desired to replace its existing software tools with a single, state-of-the-art platform for advanced rock-physics and seismic modeling.

The INT Solution
Rock Solid Images began a commercial and technical partnership with INT in March of 2004 to develop the iMOSS application; an advanced set of specifications had previously been developed by Rock Solid Images. The development project was a true joint venture between INT and Rock Solid Images with both companies supplying software engineering personnel. In addition, INT contributed toolkits and expertise in the areas of integration and graphics, whilst Rock Solid Images provided application programmers and advanced scientific algorithms..

The iMOSS application reached beta-test phase in record time, and was successfully demonstrated to potential customers at the SEG convention in Denver during October of 2004.

The Results
The iMOSS application is already in use within the Rock Solid Images service organization; Rock Solid Images estimates that use of iMOSS will result in a 30% improvement in efficiency for the entire process, with a commensurate increase in reliability and robustness of solution.

In partnership with INT, Rock Solid Images plans continuous development of iMOSS throughout 2005 resulting in a complete platform for commercial well-based rock-physics and seismic modeling as well as an optimum environment for ongoing research and development.
