Headwave v1

Headwave Capabilities

Leaving nothing to imagination or coincidence. Covers all angles and offsets.

Headwave aims to make your processing, interpreting, evaluation or purchase of seismic data as easy and reliable as possible. Our innovative software, based on a unique technology that gives you interactive abilities to view, extract, qualify and quantify information gained from seismic data, even allows you to interact with all your seismic data on a standard work station.

Imagine

	Full access to your prestack data - every line, every cdp, every offset
	Access fast enough that you can interact with all your seismic data, on a standard workstation
	Views of your prestack data juxtaposed with your inlines, crosslines and horizons
	Prestack data projected onto inlines, crosslines and horizons
	Flipping through volumes from different generations of a 4D monitoring project

Benefits

Bringing prestack seismic data into the domain of the E&P geophysicist enables full data availability for:

	QC of geophysical processes
	Better assessment of the validity of interpretation
	Assessment of reliability of data for use in further studies
	Rapid and more detailed workflows in the prestack domain, such as survey wide AVO reconnaissance

Useful Ways to QC and Discover Your Data

Your stack volume is noisy in a particular region

	Pull up the gathers, do they show noisy inner or outer traces? - Identify where you need to re-design the mute
	View high and low amplitudes in a volume rendered 3D probe. Is there evidence of uncorrected move out?
	Identify locations for velocity analysis, and higher order move-out correction
	Switch on the magnifier to see details while preserving the data context

QC of gathers in 3D Duration: 33 seconds

Linking Prestack to Poststack Duration: 2min 14 seconds

Modelling indicates that your prospect should have amplitude support

	You have correlated candidate top and base reservoir and identified potential targets
	Import the horizons to Headwave - or work directly within Petrel
	Pull up the gathers, do you see an AVO effect?
	Pull up inline and/or cross line gather volumes. Is the AVO effect spatially consistent, and consistent with the model?
	Project the offset data onto a horizon and cycle through the offsets in turn. Does the AVO effect conform to structure?

Linking Prestack to Poststack duration: 1 min 56 seconds

You want to view impedance derived porosity and fluid indicator simultaneously

	Define a probe in one view, parallel to the 3D axes or windowed on a layer
	Open a second 3D view with a copy of the probe, drop your second data set into the probe
	Adjust transparency to enhance the sweet spots - Move the probe in one 3D view and all probes move together
