Processing Solutions
Processing the Planet
Did you know that Vector has processed seismic data from over 75 different countries, and counting? We are always looking toward the horizon for new challenges and opportunities.
Our processing expertise spans the globe from New Zealand to Russia, from Greenland to Argentina. We've worked in the rugged mountains of Chile to the complex structures of the China Sea.
We've processed data all over the world. However, our expertise has been heavily focused within the Gulf Coast region and structurally complex regimes.
AVO Processing
3D Kirchhoff PSTM
A Superior Solution for Complex Imaging and AVO
This robust implementation of the Kirchhoff Method provides excellent solutions for imaging complex faults, intrusives and overthrusts. The enhanced imaging and ability to produce preserved amplitude offset-dependent data for AVO plays a significant role in improving exploration success.
- 90° Dip Imaging
- 3D Ray Trace Modeling
- Turning Wave Implementation
- Full Azimuth Migration Solution
- Enhanced Anti-Aliasing Operator
- Integrated Migration Velocity Analysis
- Multi-Thread (CPU) Parallel Computing
- Integrated 3D Interpolation and Flex Binning
- Full Volume, Gather, or Prospect Specific Output
Radon DMO
- Full output of gathers for AVO analysis (most DMO's stack on the fly)
- True 3D Noise and Multiple Elimination (performed in azimuthal space)
- Improves signal to noise for AVO
- Solution for imprints and aliasing due to 3D geometries and design
- Reduces noise artifact that spreads in migration
Silencer - 3D Source Noise Elimination (irregular Tau-p method)
- Removes source generated noise that corrupts wavelet estimation and AVO analysis
- Reduces high amplitude noise that causes migration artifact
Hampson Russell AVO package
- Intercept, angle gathers, gradient stacks, angle migrations, subtraction stacks, offset migrations
- Parabolic noise / multiple elimination via Radon Transform
The AVO program helps interpreting geophysicists estimate the lithology and fluid content of reservoir rocks using the technique of amplitude versus offset analysis (AVO). The program includes numerous tools to perform this analysis, ranging from gradient/intercept stacks through modeling to full inversion. AVO is written for UNIX workstations, and uses an intuitive "Motif" graphical user interface. PRO3D, the 3D analysis module, will also run under Window95 and NT.

3D Design and Planning
The OMNI Software Suite (SIS)
OMNI is a multi-platform package which runs on PC's under Windows 3.1, 3.11, Windows 95, Windows NT or on UNIX platforms - SUN and IBM RS6000 under SOLARIS or AIX.
The OMNI software suite provides a complete solution from the original concept, through theoretical modeling and layout to actual field positioning and analysis. OMNI is a modular 3D seismic survey design package which will take you all the way from your original concept and costing through theoretical modeling and layout to actual field positioning and analysis. It is your 3D survey database through geologic modeling, analysis of the 3D geometry, acquisition of the seismic and survey data, to the delivery at the processing house. These tightly integrated modules offer effective diagnostic information before, during and after your 3D survey.
