Blueback Avary

Faster, intuitive geophysical insight and analysis.

Less data ops, more data interpretation

Increased effectiveness, speed, and quality for seismic post‑stack processing workflows, developed in collaboration with Aker BP.

When estimating risk factors in trap modeling and petroleum charge, geologists and geophysicists need detailed mapping of reservoir rocks and their properties. These seismic processes typically involve multiple iterations and the handling of large seismic volumes, particularly when calculating attributes derived from AVO theory. This creates workflows that are both data‑intensive and computationally demanding.

Blueback Avary is designed to reduce this operational burden. It enables geoscientists to focus more on data interpretation and evaluation, and less on managing heavy computational operations and transferring large datasets between software applications.

Developed in collaboration with Aker BP, Blueback Avary streamlines and re‑imagines seismic post‑stack processing as an interactive and dynamic workflow within a single application.

Built on Cegal’s next‑generation software architecture, Flows, Blueback Avary supports highly customizable seismic workflows. All workflow components are interlinked, enabling fast iteration and straightforward comparison of results across workflows.

With Blueback Avary, the emphasis shifts from managing numerous computational operations and parameters to interpreting and evaluating seismic data.

What problem does Blueback Avary address in seismic post‑stack workflows?

Seismic post‑stack workflows often require multiple iterations and the handling of large seismic volumes, particularly when working with attributes derived from AVO theory. This makes workflows computationally heavy and time‑consuming, and can reduce the time available for data interpretation and evaluation.

How does Blueback Avary reduce data operations?

Blueback Avary streamlines seismic post‑stack processing into a single, interactive application. By reducing the need for heavy computational operations and data transfer between software applications, it allows geoscientists to spend less time managing workflows and more time working directly with the data.

How does Blueback Avary support faster interpretation cycles?

Built on Cegal’s next‑generation software architecture, Flows, Blueback Avary enables highly customizable and interconnected workflows. This allows quick iteration and easy comparison of results across workflows, supporting a more dynamic and efficient interpretation process.
