Paradigm™ confirmed that Fugro Seismic Imaging has adopted Paradigm SKUA® for modeling of salt bodies and velocity fields. Fugro will use the SKUA technology to build detailed velocity models in the GoM and elsewhere, including models with complex salt structures.
According to Paradigm, Fugro will be able to optimize the integrity and complexity of the salt structures in the seismic image, providing a fast and seamless workflow to update a salt model and secure more accurate and reliable velocity models for seismic imaging.
“With SKUA, we can build detailed velocity models more quickly in areas such as the GoM, while providing details that were not achievable with prior technologies,” said Steve Cole, chief geophysicist for Fugro Seismic Imaging. “Accurate depth mapping below salt is one example of the benefits of SKUA and is vital for the assessment of potential oil and gas prospects.”
