Business concept
NORSAR Innovation AS has been given a legal right to commercially
exploit the intellectual property of its mother company, the independent
research foundation NORSAR.
Encouraging the use of NORSAR seismic modelling in the petroleum
industry under the slogan “insight through modelling” is an important
promotional task for NORSAR Innovation AS. The goal is to spread the use
of NORSAR seismic modelling not only in the high-tech and demanding
research units of the client companies, but also in the routine work of
geoscientists within the whole seismic exploration value chain ranging from
survey planning to processing and imaging, interpretation, and seismic
reservoir characterization.
NORSAR’s software product portfolio consists of NORSAR-2D® and
NORSAR-3D® for 2D and 3D seismic modelling respectively, and VelRock®
for petrophysical (rock physics) modelling.
NORSAR-3D is the most advanced Ray Tracing package available.
Used by the Major Oil companies and Service companies alike, it provides
answers to key acquisition and processing questions, including feasibility
studies, survey planning and travel time calculation. Among the advanced
features making NORSAR-3D the market leader are; Anisotropy in layered
models, rapid assessment of offset and azimuth infl uence on AOI illumination
and the Simulation of Migration Amplitudes for informed interpretation
decisions.
NORSAR-2D is a powerful tool to better understand your seismic data
using advanced ray tracing technology. You can evaluate your model
by comparing synthetic results with the actual seismic data or with your
interpretations. Complicated tectonic structures and lateral or vertical velocity
changes are easily modelled. NORSAR-2D has easy data import and export,
through an OpenSpirit link allowing communication with interpretation
stations and mapping software, as well as with processing packages.
A special version of NORSAR-2D tightly integrated with Nucleus is also
available.
A new and innovative software system for rock physics and seismic
reservoir characterization is currently being prepared for introduction to
the market. The new software will be marketed under the brand name
SeisRoX®.
SeisRoX is a new software suite developed by NORSAR that can be
used to model the seismic response and corresponding seismic attributes
at detailed reservoir scale. Each module can be used to provide innovative
solutions to the problems faced by the E&P scientist. However, the true
benefi t of SeisRoX is realized when the modules are integrated to provide
the user with a robust, effi cient and fl exible workfl ow. In this format, the
software guides the user from the generation of the rock physics model
through to the simulation and analysis of the 3D PSDM seismic image. This
approach is particularly useful for investigating the seismic sensitivity to
geological properties, seismic properties and reservoir geometry.
NORSAR Innovation AS will continue to highlight NORSAR software in the
petroleum market by regularly attending the major geophysical exhibitions
and selected smaller events as well as by advertising in key industry
journals.
