Blueback Seismic Reservoir Characterization

High-end geophysics tools for reservoir characterization

Blueback suite for reservoir characterization

A focused suite of tools for quantitative seismic interpretation and reservoir characterization.

Quantitative interpretation, made practical

The Blueback Seismic Reservoir Characterization (SRC) suite provides geophysicists with a structured set of tools for quantitative evaluation of seismic data. It supports consistent workflows from data conditioning through interpretation and analysis.

With the SRC suite, you can:

Condition partial angle stacks
Perform amplitude versus offset (AVO) analysis
Generate color‑inverted seismic volumes
Identify optimal Chi‑angle projections to create Extended Elastic Impedance (EEI) cubes
Estimate and correct for tuning effects in thinly bedded reservoirs

The tools are designed to support transparent interpretation and reproducible results across seismic datasets.

Integrated analysis and downstream workflows

The SRC suite can be combined with Blueback Investigator for additional data analysis and quality control. Outputs generated in the suite can be used directly as input to Blueback ODiSI, supporting continuity across the Blueback workflow.

Seismic data conditioning

The Blueback Seismic Reservoir Characterization suite uses the new automated implementation of the Seismic Net Pay workflow for sophisticated conditioning.

Based on Connolly 2007
Fast and interactive workflow
Fully integrated with Petrel* E&P software platform

AVO seismic classification

The high-end geophysics tool supports intercept-gradient plots to significantly improve spotting of any amplitude versus offset (AVO) anomalies.

Build dynamic AVO classifications
Highlight and detect anomalies
Substantial information for field development

Extended elastic impedance (EEI) analysis

The Blueback Seismic Reservoir Characterization suite includes interactive EEI analysis of wells and seismic data to estimate the best CHI-angle projections and volume.

What is the Blueback Seismic Reservoir Characterization (SRC) suite?

The Blueback SRC suite is a collection of tools for quantitative seismic interpretation. It supports geophysicists in evaluating seismic data, including amplitudes, angle‑dependent responses, and elastic properties used in reservoir characterization.

What types of analysis can be performed with Blueback SRC?

Blueback SRC enables users to condition partial angle stacks, perform amplitude‑versus‑offset (AVO) analysis, generate color‑inverted seismic, calculate Chi‑angle projections for Extended Elastic Impedance (EEI), and estimate and correct tuning effects in thinly bedded reservoirs.

How does Blueback SRC fit into the Blueback workflow?

Results from Blueback SRC can be combined with Blueback Investigator for further data analysis and quality control. Outputs from the SRC suite can also be used directly as input to Blueback ODiSI, supporting consistent workflows across the Blueback platform.
