Experience Your Data in 4D: Unlocking the Dynamic Subsurface with Time-Lapse Seismic Data Visualization

In the Energy industry, understanding how reservoirs change over time is crucial for maximizing production and optimizing recovery strategies. 4D seismic, or time-lapse seismic, provides valuable insights into these dynamic changes, but effectively managing, visualizing, and analyzing multi-vintage seismic data can be a challenge.

Most companies that acquire and process seismic data may have multiple copies of data stored in different locations or visualized in different systems, making it difficult to find, visualize, compare, and trust the data cleanly and easily.

That’s where IVAAP comes in.

IVAAP: Empowering 4D Seismic Visualization

IVAAP makes 4D seismic visualization incredibly intuitive. It streamlines 4D seismic workflows by enabling geoscientists and engineers to combine their seismic data in one platform. You can select and navigate between seismic datasets using a time slider, quickly visualizing changes in those datasets over time. With this easy-to-use interface, engineers and geoscientists can:

  • Visualize reservoir changes: Easily compare and analyze seismic data acquired at different times, revealing changes in fluid movement, pressure, and saturation.
  • Identify bypassed hydrocarbons: Pinpoint areas of untapped potential by visualizing unswept zones and bypassed hydrocarbons.
  • Optimize production strategies: Make better informed decisions about well placement, injection strategies, and enhanced oil recovery (EOR) techniques based on 4D seismic insights.
  • Collaborate effectively: Share interactive visualizations and interpretations with colleagues, fostering a deeper understanding of reservoir dynamics.

INT Supports OpenZGY and OpenVDS to Enhance Workflows and Data Collaboration

In the world of geospatial analytics and subsurface interpretation, streamlined access to vast seismic datasets is crucial. The rise of the Open Subsurface Data Universe™ (OSDU™) has propelled the development of innovative formats like OpenZGY and OpenVDS, designed to optimize seismic data storage and retrieval. As an active member of OSDU™, INT is committed to empowering our users with cutting-edge tools, which is why we’ve seamlessly integrated support for these essential OSDU formats within our platform.

The Limitations of Traditional Seismic Data Formats

As we explore deeper and more complex geological structures, the amount of seismic data collected continues to skyrocket. Unfortunately, traditional seismic data formats, such as SEG-Y, often struggle to handle this ever-growing volume effectively. These formats typically store data in a linear fashion, leading to several limitations: slow access times, limited scalability, and interoperability issues.

The OpenZGY and OpenVDS Revolution

OpenVDS and OpenZGY represent a revolutionary approach to seismic data storage and retrieval, addressing the limitations of traditional formats. Here’s how they transform data handling:

  • Superior Performance: These formats organize data into “bricks” and further into “micro-bricks,” enabling lightning-fast access in all directions (inline, crossline, and Z-slice). Projects utilizing OpenZGY and OpenVDS benefit from unparalleled responsiveness.
  • Enhanced Collaboration: As OSDU-compliant formats, OpenVDS and OpenZGY foster easy data exchange and knowledge transfer among teams and organizations. This breakdown of data silos leads to more informed decision-making.
  • Cloud Compatibility: OpenZGY and OpenVDS pave the way for seamless cloud integration. Geospatial professionals can leverage scalable cloud storage and processing for large-scale projects.

INT’s Commitment to Open Data Standards

At INT, we are strong advocates of open data standards in the geoscience realm. Our work with and early adoption of the OSDU Data Platform and our integration of OpenVDS and OpenZGY formats exemplify this dedication. Here’s how this benefits our users:

  • Streamlined Workflows: With the superior performance of OpenVDS and OpenZGY, INT users experience accelerated interpretation cycles. Complex analyses and visualization become significantly faster.
  • Data Interoperability: Projects involving various software tools become more effortless. Data can move freely between INT and other OSDU-compliant applications.
  • Future-Proofing: As the industry continues to embrace OSDU, INT ensures our users are well-positioned to take advantage of the evolving data landscape.

Leveraging INT with OpenZGY and OpenVDS

INT’s powerful visualization platform — IVAAP — offers numerous use cases for datasets stored in OpenVDS and OpenZGY formats:

  • Rapid Survey Evaluation: Quickly visualize and assess seismic surveys for quality control and planning purposes.
  • Efficient Attribute Generation: Accelerate attribute calculation and analysis on these optimized data structures.
