... to seismic data, enabling interactivity between the neural network and the geoscientists, therefore putting geoscientists in complete control. Our methodology eliminates the burden of data preparation methodologies, because it does not require prior randomization of the seismic data like older technologies...

... and geoscientists who are interested in what has been done, and what may be done, in the use of seismic permanent reservoir monitoring, or oilfield surveillance. The PRM market appears to be on an upswing, but it remains to be seen if that upswing continues. There are several reasons that have tempered...

... in the context of the geological and geophysical background or geomechanical model of the formation and a workflow to optimize stimulation performance. These steps bring together geoscientists and fracture engineers so that they can make decisions collaboratively and improve the return on stimulation investment...

.... With the complications of these various elements and their inter-relationships in the systems, complexity has become the enemy of innovation. Too many engineers, geoscientists, field operators, accountants, and managers (not to mention IT specialists, and others) spend too much time dealing with the complexity...

... of delivering the geoscientists and engineers that the oil business has required in the past. Other opportunities, particularly in the environmental arena, have aggravated the situation for petroleum by enticing future reservoir engineers, geologists, etc. to pursue non-petroleum careers. An offset...

... available well log data is discussed. The fast and effective workflow allows an geoscientist to produce depth-converted maps of large project areas quickly and easily. Some aspects of understanding a compromise between accuracy and computational costs using various depth conversion methods are discussed...

... Abstract Voxel technology has recently become widely available to geoscientists in the form of advanced 3D seismic interpretation software. This paper discusses the power of this relatively new technology which potentially allows a step change in the speed with which 3D seismic data can...

... and process large data volumes that will result into a realistic representation of the sub-surface. It is becoming more common for geoscientists to visualize datasets that are a gigabyte in size while some companies are now requesting for methods to process and selectively visualize terabyte size data sets...

... with different experience, expertise and viewpoint; Regional understanding of the basin geology coupled with a detailed understanding of salt tectonics; Integrated teams of engineers, geoscientists, and other specialists to handle new drilling problems; Proper application of new seismic imaging...

... of all the objects is based on NURBS (Non-Uniform Rational B-splines) math which allows each graphic element to be represented by the same basic mathematical expression. Solid and surface models created using these software techniques provide the geoscientist the capability to use Boolean logic to find...
