1 Power to Decide PSPRO AZIMUTHAL Big Data Software for Interactive Analysis and Interpretation of Full-Azimuth Seismic Gathers Full-Azi Horizon Tracking Dynamic Sectoring COV/COCA Data Input Interactive Stacking Pre-Stack Pro is the first Big Data software for processing and interpreting 3D seismic gather datasets. Use the new Azimuthal module to process, analyse, and interpret 100% of the gather data you collect from wide and full-azimuth surveys. Get your data out of the archive and on to your desk. Velocity and Amplitude Anisotropy Analysis Input to Fracture and Stress Prediction Improved Imaging in Complex Structures Powerful and Easy to Use

2 Smart Software for a Full Azimuthal Workflow LOAD VIEW CLEAN SECTOR STACK ANALYSE Feature Highlights Load HUGE volumes (TBs) of 5D data and retain gathers throughout the analysis. View multi-dimensional gathers anywhere with a single mouse click, for easy interactive data review. Stack data interactively - any azimuth, any incident angle. Condition 5D gathers in Cartesian or polar domains and retain full resolution for azimuthal analysis. Track horizons in 5D for fast and accurate analysis of anisotropy on specific events. Estimate velocity and amplitude anisotropy on horizons or full volumes Flexible, Interactive Workflows Use all available data Flexible options to suit your problem Modify conditioning parameters and quickly update all analytical results Drill down to the source data to increase confidence in the results Pre-Stack Pro gives you time to do more *Common-Offset, Common-Azimuth (COCA), Common Offset Vectors (COV)

3 C o mm o n - O f f s e t, C o mm o n - A z i mu t h ( C O C A ) S e c t o r i ng Create sectored gathers on-the-fly, with full control over density of azimuth and offset bins. Optional 5D trace interpolation can be switched on and off to fill all sector bins and give a more complete understanding. Intuitive data density plots to guide choice of parameters and show population of COV traces for any sector selection. Mu lt i D i m e n s i o n al G at h e r Vi e w s Display options include COCA or CICA gathers showing all traces sorted by offset, incidence angle, or azimuth. Select locations from any stack or map location, and display cartesian or sectored gathers along inlines, crosslines, or arbitrary paths. Easily display any COV or COCA volume in stack or gather viewers. Display all azimuths, offsets, or angles for a single CDP location in a single plot.

4 Gather Conditioning All gather conditioning algorithms have been extended for COCA gathers, to reduce noise, sharpen images, and improve quantitative interpretation results. Many processing routines, including gather flattening, can also be applied directly to COV gathers. This ensures accurate 5D interpolation when sectoring. Improvements to the longer offset data will carry into the azimuthal analysis and increase confidence in the amplitude-versus-azimuth and velocity-versus-azimuth results. COCA - NO Conditioning COCA - Pre-Sectored Conditioning Azimuthal Velocity Estimation The RMO (residual moveout) analysis tool now automatically loops over all azimuths and outputs a velocity ellipse containing Vfast, Vslow, and direction of Vfast. Results can be fed directly to the velocity-versus-azimuth (VVAZ) analysis modules.

5 Int e r a c t iv e S t a c k i ng * Interactively stack COV/COCA/CICA Gathers by selecting any set of gather traces. Default is equal weighting of all stacked traces. Customize weighted stacks, and compare to weighting factors applied by seismic contractors. 5 D Ho r i z o n Tr a c k i ng Amplitude map of Top Reservoir Angle = 20, Azimuth=60 5D Horizon Model Horizon Autotrack 3D horizons on any partial stack, and quickly extend picks to the 5D gathers. Use the results to characterize travel time and amplitude variations with offset, angle, and azimuth. Display any choice of offset, angle, and azimuth in the map viewers.

6 ANI SOT ROP Y & 3 D FR AC T U RE ANALYSIS Formations with natural fractures often exhibit both amplitude (AVAZ) and velocity (VVAZ) anisotropy. New analysis modules calculate these properties directly from the 5D gathers. Ty p i c al workf low Gather conditioning, including event flattening Map offsets (COCA) to angles (CICA) using isotropic velocity Extract 5D amplitudes and fit using AVAZ model Map directions and magnitudes of amplitude anisotropy QC and assess confidence with misfit analysis Amp l it u d e v s A z i mut h ( AVA Z ) Extract amplitudes at all angles and azimuths, Compute azimuthallydependent and azimuthallyaveraged AVO attributes, Display maps of intercept, averaged gradient, azimuth gradient, and anisotropic direction, Interrogate and assess confidence with misfit analysis.
