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.
