(Calgary, Alberta – November 30, 2007) -
"Our volume curvature desktop module draws attention to Geomodeling’s capability to innovate," says Murray Christie, Geomodeling’s Chief Operating Officer. "Volume curvature provides superior results to surface curvature measures and with Geomodeling’s new scientific approach, the speed at which each geoscientist can get to their results is remarkable." With Geomodeling’s volume curvature module, users can calculate the following curvature attributes directly from a 3-D seismic volume without picking horizons.
• contour curvature
• curvedness curvature
• dip angle
• dip curvature
• strike curvature
• azimuth
• Gaussian curvature
• Lambertian reflectance
• maximum curvature
• mean curvature
• minimum curvature
• most negative curvature
• most positive curvature
• shape index
Geomodeling has also included the Geobody paintbrush in VisualVoxAt 6.2. Previously, geobodies were not widely used as an interpretation tool because the results had few uses – they were not interactive, and users were slow to adopt new technology. With the geobody paintbrush, users can paint stratigraphic sequences, paint play concepts and geomorphology on time and strata slices, and interpret complex geology. Users can feed volumes of interpreted data into cross-plots, neural networks, and correlations.
Using geobody analysis, it is easy to export the geobody to geological and reservoir modeling packages. Geoscientists can use connectivity analysis; perform volumetric calculations; capture the geometry of geological facies; use background facies trends for property distribution; and find fault, fracture, and permeability barriers. VisualVoxAt 6.2 has other new features and enhancements including:
• 3-D visualization of strata-grids with large data sets
• increased strata-grid functionality that includes exporting strata-grid attributes to SEG Y in the depth domain when a velocity is present
• generating facies maps or volumes by using existing strata-grid attributes and facies volumes
• generating facies maps or volumes based on multiple polygons in cross-plot
• an improved deviated well display function
• improved plotting function
• load interpretation data from Irap RMS directly from VisualVoxAt project
