StructureSolver Minimizes Interpretation Cycle Time and Eliminates Errors
- StructureSolver is an invaluable tool for interpreters who are working on complex 3D interpretation projects
- Many 3D interpretations in complex structural regimes are begun and even completed without understanding the structural kinematic framework. Consequently, errors in fault shape and cross-fault correlation are often propagated through the interpretation. These errors are either expensively corrected at later stages, or if not corrected, may adversely impact exploration and development success.
- Using a combination of StructureSolver modeling and restoration, an interpreter can rapidly validate the overall structural kinematic framework at the beginning of an interpretation and refine the framework throughout the process. This approach dramatically shortens the interpretation cycle and reduces the need for rework.
- Because StructureSolver can easily import and calibrate screen images, this type of analysis can be done on a PC independently of the core interpretation software that the interpreter is using. It often takes less than 15 minutes to complete a StructureSolver analysis starting with a simple screen capture from a seismic interpretation system. This investment will pay off many times over.
