Blueback Rocks Velocity

Efficient and versatile velocity modeling.

Blueback suite for velocity modeling

Transparent and easy velocity model building workflows for interpreters.

Faster and more accurate results

Time to depth conversion represents one of the most intimidating workflows in reservoir characterization. A major key aspect is the ability to analyze data reliably.

Blueback Rocks Velocity extracts velocity parameters and seismic out of both well and seismic data, which allows the interpreter to build high-quality velocity models.

Fully integrated, the suite of tools lets you visualize and understand velocity trends in a clear and transparent way while building an accurate velocity model for full confidence in the data used for domain conversion. The technology has been developed following specifications given by a major operator in the North Sea.

Seismic velocity calibration

Define several velocity functions

Detrending seismic velocities

Dynamic velocity model building

Rocks_velocity_Seismic_velocity_calibration

Blueback Rocks Velocity allows interpreters to choose between several methods to calibrate seismic velocities against well velocities.

Rocks_velocity_Define_several_velocity_functions

Define the most appropriate velocity function for each layer, visualizing interval velocity maps as you change parameters.

Rocks_velocity_Detrending_seismic_velocities

Produce detrended and scaled interval velocity maps using seismic interval velocities as input.

The depth optimization step lets the user analyze depth residuals and define a strategy to adjust velocities to minimize residual values.

Blueback Rocks Velocity features computing of horizon consistent interval velocities from root-mean-square velocities (Vrms).

Rocks_velocity_Dynamic_velocity_model_building

Enhance the creation of velocity cubes to depth convert 3D seismic , interpretation faults, surfaces, points and polygons.
