Ikon - Version RokDoc -Fast, Flexible, & Powerful Rock Physics Modeling Module Software

Quickly build a powerful rock physics modeling framework for your assets and prospects. Understand the link between the geological and petrophysical properties and the observed seismic response. Gain insight into what is actually driving the seismic responses observed between wells.

Robustly link the well-based models and understanding to the seismic response, interpret seismic amplitudes with increased confidence, capture and realize the value of broadband seismic datasets in the quantitative interpretation workflow.

Add an extra dimension to your modeling. Investigate the impact of geometry and lateral variation in rock properties on seismic amplitudes, explore the impact of tuning on amplitudes and reflector geometry, model hydrocarbon contacts and directly compare 2D synthetic models to seismic lines.

CASE STUDY Define interpretation strategy in a variety of geological provinces and plays

Challenge: Interpreting seismic responses is a difficult task, as amplitudes vary enormously depending on depositional environment, burial history and current day environmental conditions. This results in great potential for mistakes to be made and opportunities to be missed due to a lack of understanding about what is driving the seismic responses.

Solution: A robust framework for linking geological processes and properties to seismic response, that allows an understanding of the key geological factors driving seismic responses in each basin, coupled with a method of capturing and understanding geological uncertainty and its impact on risk.

Results: Reduced risk in interpreting seismic amplitudes and an understanding of interpretation uncertainty. The identification of both false positives and negatives when interpreting seismic responses, a reduction in interpretation cycle time, screening and validation of high CoS prospects, improved communication between geology and geophysics.
