ABOUT GEOSEISMOS

(BY GEOPROCESADOS)

BACKGROUNDAND HISTORY

Geoprocesados was founded in 1999 in Mexi-co, and has worked non-stop with Pemex since then. In 2010 Geoprocesados concluded an agreement to purchase the Geophysical Services Division of Paradigm™ Latin America. The agreement transferred the staff and resources, that had been providing Geophysical services in the region for more than 15 years.

Geoseismos is now Geoprocesados’ division for the United States and it continues using Para-digm™ technology and methodologies to deliver quality services and continuous innovation.

SERVICES

Seismic modeling plays an important role in seismic acquisition geometries design and in the simulation of the seismic response that would occur if the target objectives are met.

Our seismic modeling and survey design ser-vices provide technical solutions to assure that your investment in seismic acquisition will re-solve reservoir imaging challenges and reduce drilling risks.

We model and evaluate different acquisition scenarios for ideal cost-benefit target coverage using advanced software for ray tracing and fi-nite difference modeling.

SURVEY DESIGN / FEASIBILITY STUDIES

Geoseismos brings together human resources, hardware and technology to build custom work-flows based in the needs of our clients. Geoseis-mos offers the following advanced methodologies:

1) Pre-processing and Data Conditioning

This is the cornerstone of any imaging or reser-voir characterization project. Geoseismos work-flows include advanced technologies for static correction, deconvolution and wavelet shaping, demultiple (2D and 3D SRME), trace interpola-tion, dip moveout, noise suppression and signal enhancement.

2) Prestack time migration ( PSTM )

Geoseismos offers a fast and reliable Kirchhoff PSTM that combines improved structural im-aging with amplitude preservation of pre stack data that could be used for AVO, inversion and subsequent reservoir characterization.

4) Kirchhoff Migration

The Kirchhoff Migration is the most commonly used migration for depth processing. It is par-ticularly attractive due to its speed and target-oriented capability, which enables efficient ve-locity model building and updating.

In addition, the Kirchhoff migration offers adapt-ability to irregular acquisition geometries, and flexibility in handling anisotropic and converted wave velocity models and surface topography.

5) CRAM

CRAM is an anisotropic multi-arrival solution that uses the entire wavefield, making it ideal for solving complex imaging objectives. CRAM performs imaging in the local angle domain to achieve uniform illumination from all angles and all azimuths, producing amplitude-preserved, and angle-dependent reflectivity gathers.

These outputs are ideally suited for velocity model determination and amplitude analysis. CRAM can be utilized to provide fast, target-oriented solutions for local analysis, and can also be used for imaging on a regional scale.

For reservoir characterization purposes CRAM generates conventional reflection angle gath-ers without azimuth dependency. These gathers can be used in standard interpretation systems for accurate velocity model building and amplitude inversion (AVA).

3) Advanced imaging in depth domain

Depth Imaging is the preferred seismic imag-ing tool for today’s most challenging explora-tion & reservoir-delineation projects. In areas of structural or seismic velocity model complexity, many of the assumptions underpinning tradi-tional time-domain processing are invalid and can produce misleading results.

Geoseismos offers different solutions for depth imaging as Kirchhoff Migration, Common Re-flection Angle Migration (CRAM), Reverse Time Migration (RTM) and Full Azimuth Imag-ing (ES360) based in Paradigm’s ES 360.

All of our workflows include advanced veloc-ity tools (Geodepth and Gocad/SKUA) with full support for anisotropic velocity model deter-minations, including both vertical axis of sym-metry (VTI) and tilted axis of symmetry (TTI). Anisotropic multi-azimuth tomography is also used for Full azimuth imaging projects.

FOR COMPLEX SALT PROJECTS, WE ALSO OFFER A UNIQUE INTEGRATION OF NON-SEISMIC DATA (GRAVITY, MAGNETIC, MAGNETOTELLURICS) IN THE CYCLE OF ITERATIVE DEPTH MIGRATION.

7) Full azimuth imaging – ES 360®*

Imagine being able to lower a camera into the subsurface of the earth and record a continuous animation that captures the surroundings in all directions and all angles. Paradigm’s new full-azimuth angle domain imaging and analysis system, EarthStudy 360®, is able to emulate this capability by combining a rich bottom-up ray tracing procedure with the fully recorded seismic wavefield.

EarthStudy 360 is designed to deliver to both depth imaging processing experts and inter-pretation specialists a complete set of data that enables them to obtain accurate subsurface velocity models, structural attributes, medium properties, and reservoir characteristics. The system extracts unprecedented value from all modern and legacy seismic data acquisitions, especially those with wide and rich azimuth and long offset, in both marine and land environ-ments, including unconventional shale plays.

EarthStudy 360 is a brand new invention de-signed to image, characterize, visualize and in-terpret the total seismic wavefield, and provide previously unattainable levels of subsurface knowledge.

It has successfully undergone full-scale studies and field trials in a number of geological and structural environments. The rich information from all angles and azimuths significantly re-duces uncertainty and ensures more reliable analysis. It is a major step towards a full seismic data analysis system with rich deliverables and extremely high levels of user interaction and QC at any state in the workflow.

EarthStudy 360 maximizes the information that can be extracted from recorded seismic data. The system creates a wealth of seismic image data, decomposed into full-azimuth angle-de-pendent reflectivities and directional (dip and azimuth) data components that can be selec-tively sampled, creatively combined, dynamically visualized, and further processed to secure images of the subsurface. These images can reveal the information needed for velocity model determination, and provide details regarding the presence of micro-fractures, the orientation of faults and fractures, the influence of anisotropy, the directions of contributing illumination, the elastic properties of target reservoirs, and the boundaries of those reservoirs

6) RTM

Reverse time migration belongs to the class of two-wave full wave migration solutions. Rather than performing imaging by extrapolating the data in depth, as in traditional one-way full wave solutions, the method solves the wave equation forward in time for the source model-ing field and backwards in time for the recorded receiver field for that specific shot.

Reverse Time Migration (RTM) is a preferred so-lution for imaging seismic data in areas of com-plex wave phenomena. It is able to handle the most severe combinations of structural dip with high velocity contrast, conditions common in salt basins and other geologic basins with complex structures and velocity distributions.

RESERVOIR SERVICES

Geoseismos offers a wide range of services in the reservoir services division. The main ser-vices offered include:

1) Pore pressure prediction

Pore Pressure Prediction procedures that use seismic velocity information have had a huge impact on drilling safety, drilling design eco-nomics and well construction. Our PPP is a multi-disciplinary procedure and it is more ef-fectively carried out with a technology base and common infrastructure that include seismic data processing, velocity model building, high reso-lution tomography and depth imaging.

2) Seismic Interpretation & Modeling

Our interpretation services offer solutions to gain enough understanding of structure and stratigraphy to develop a virtual earth model of the subsurface. Our structural interpretation and modeling workflows help the interpreter iden-tify the compartments, faults, fault sealing and trapping mechanisms that hold hydrocarbons, and understand the depositional history of the environment in the shortest time possible. These factors help determine the best drilling locations and ultimately the project scope and cost.
