Gather conditioning is a subject that you don’t hear discussed much. All the processing vendors assure us that their gathers are fully “amplitude compliant”. So it’s tempting to assume that gather conditioning is a “solved problem”. When I was hired to Aspect in 2017, we had a different view. They were not achieving “out of the box” calibration of vendor-supplied gathers to well control.
We have experienced QI geoscientists running our own prestack inversions. We are making 10,000 barrels per day of production from oilfields that were discovered with DHI technology. So in terms of gathers, we have a clear view of what “amplitude compliant” means.
Our geoscientists were willing to do their own gather conditioning, but software was the limiting factor. On one extreme, the inversion software package offered some basic gather conditioning tools that are easy to use, but insufficient to deliver AVO-ready gathers. On the other extreme, Aspect was licensing a legacy time processing system with a huge suite of gather conditioning tools, but they found it too complicated to build custom workflows.
I was initially hired to create streamlined in-house solutions to condition gathers. Since 2017, we have used this technology suite to condition hundreds of 3D surveys, both in-house PSDM gathers and vendor-supplied PSTM gathers.
Aspect is releasing our gather conditioning technology to the public, as Aspect Cloud Gather Conditioning, or ACGC.
We believe that we have found the sweet spot between the excess complexity of a full-feature processing system compared to the over-simplified tools found in some inversion packages. ACGC is a 100% cloud-based solution. You don’t need to install any software or hardware in your office. You simply customize a user spreadsheet, then copy and paste commands to an Amazon terminal window.
And if you want us to run ACGC as a service, we can do that as well.
Every user of our cloud PSDM technology, ACPSDM can condition their PSDM gathers using the ACGC tools as part of the service. But what if you just want to condition some PSTM gathers that you have sitting around? ACGC is for you.
