Quantitative interpretation, made practical The Blueback Seismic Reservoir Characterization (SRC) suite provides geophysicists with a structured set of tools for quantitative evaluation of seismic data. It supports consistent workflows from data conditioning through interpretation and analysis.   With the SRC suite, you can: - Condition partial angle stacks - Perform amplitude versus offset (AVO) analysis - Generate color‑inverted seismic volumes - Identify optimal Chi‑angle projections to create Extended Elastic Impedance (EEI) cubes - Estimate and correct for tuning effects in thinly bedded reservoirs The tools are designed to support transparent interpretation and reproducible results across seismic datasets.     **Integrated analysis and downstream workflows** The SRC suite can be combined with [Blueback Investigator](https://www.cegal.com/en/software/geoscience/blueback-investigator)  for additional data analysis and quality control. Outputs generated in the suite can be used directly as input to [Blueback ODiSI](https://www.cegal.com/en/software/geoscience/blueback-odisi), supporting continuity across the Blueback workflow.     ## Blueback SRC Key features Seismic data conditioning The Blueback Seismic Reservoir Characterization suite uses the new automated implementation of the Seismic Net Pay workflow for sophisticated conditioning. - Based on Connolly 2007 - Fast and interactive workflow - Fully integrated with Petrel* E&P software platform AVO seismic classification The high-end geophysics tool supports intercept-gradient plots to significantly improve spotting of any amplitude versus offset (AVO) anomalies. - Build dynamic AVO classifications - Highlight and detect anomalies - Substantial information for field development Extended elastic impedance (EEI) analysis The Blueback Seismic Reservoir Characterization suite includes interactive EEI analysis of wells and seismic data to estimate the best CHI-angle projections and volume. - EEI Angle Analysis - EEI Volume - Validate analysis with well log data Colored inversion Benefit from this feature as a first approximation when inverting data and to visualize the effects using a virtual attribute. - Fast and transparent inversion - Interactive design - Full control of the process *Petrel * is a mark of SLB* Seismic Net Pay Dynamic AVO Analysis Interactive EEI Analysis Colored Inversion ![Blueback_seismic_reservoir_characterization_Seismic_net_pay](https://www.cegal.com/hubfs/Slider/Blueback%20Seismic%20Reservoir%20Characterization/Blueback_seismic_reservoir_characterization_Seismic_net_pay.jpg) Use the new automated implementation of the Seismic Net Pay workflow for sophisticated conditioning. ![Blueback_seismic_reservoir_characterization_Dynamic_AVO_analysis](https://www.cegal.com/hubfs/Slider/Blueback%20Seismic%20Reservoir%20Characterization/Blueback_seismic_reservoir_characterization_Dynamic_AVO_analysis.jpg) Blueback Seismic Reservoir Characterization supports intercept-gradient plots to significantly improve spotting of any amplitude versus offset (AVO) anomalies. ![Blueback_seismic_reservoir_characterization_Interactive_EEI_analysis](https://www.cegal.com/hubfs/Slider/Blueback%20Seismic%20Reservoir%20Characterization/Blueback_seismic_reservoir_characterization_Interactive_EEI_analysis.jpg) Interactive EEI analysis of wells and seismic data to estimate the best CHI-angle projections and volume. ![Blueback_seismic_reservoir_characterization_Colored_inversion](https://www.cegal.com/hubfs/Slider/Blueback%20Seismic%20Reservoir%20Characterization/Blueback_seismic_reservoir_characterization_Colored_inversion.jpg) Benefit from colored inversion as a first approximation when inverting data and to visualize the effects using a virtual attribute. ## Frequently asked questions Below you’ll find the most common questions gathered to make it easy for you to find what you’re looking for. Click a question to read more. What is the Blueback Seismic Reservoir Characterization (SRC) suite? The Blueback SRC suite is a collection of tools for quantitative seismic interpretation. It supports geophysicists in evaluating seismic data, including amplitudes, angle‑dependent responses, and elastic properties used in reservoir characterization. What types of analysis can be performed with Blueback SRC? Blueback SRC enables users to condition partial angle stacks, perform amplitude‑versus‑offset (AVO) analysis, generate color‑inverted seismic, calculate Chi‑angle projections for Extended Elastic Impedance (EEI), and estimate and correct tuning effects in thinly bedded reservoirs. How does Blueback SRC fit into the Blueback workflow? Results from Blueback SRC can be combined with Blueback Investigator for further data analysis and quality control. Outputs from the SRC suite can also be used directly as input to Blueback ODiSI, supporting consistent workflows across the Blueback platform.
