Blueback Reservoir AS and Earthworks E&R announce the release of the Earthworks Seismic Inversion Petrel™ plug-in software
At the EAGE 2010, Blueback Reservoir AS and Earthworks Environment & Resources Ltd signed an agreement to jointly develop Earthworks Seismic Inversion Technology as an Ocean plug-in for Petrel**. The joint agreement brings together two leading technology companies. Earthworks provides state of the art pre- and post-stack deterministic and stochastic inversion technology and Blueback Reservoir provides world class expertise in Petrel Ocean development.
The Earthworks Seismic Inversion plug-in for Petrel (ESI) is an ultra-fast full featured seismic inversion software enabling effective use of impedance data in the reservoir modeling workflow. The plug-in is fully integrated with Petrel using Petrel native data objects, and makes advanced seismic inversion accessible and useable to the Petrel user community.
The new Petrel plug-in product is commercially available and is ready for download from the Schlumberger Ocean** Store.
A free trial version is available for a limited time period. Contact Blueback Reservoir for more information around installation, training and testing of this new Petrel plug-in product.
Ashley Francis, Managing Director of Earthworks said “Using the expertise of Blueback Reservoir our groundbreaking seismic inversion technology will now be available as a plug-in to Petrel, the leading reservoir modeling platform. The Earthworks seismic inversion has been used successfully on many projects for our clients over the last five years. With the development of the Earthworks Seismic Inversion plug-in for Petrel, this technology will be available directly within the reservoir modelling environment.”
Paul Hovdenak, Software Portfolio Manager of Blueback Reservoir said “The seismic inversion technology has matured over the last few years, and by developing an easy-to-use solution on the Petrel platform, the technology and benefits from the improved reservoir characterization will reach out to many more geoscientists in the industry.”
