Oil Patch Bits: CGG enhances portfolio with TerraSpark’s software

CGG has enhanced its software portfolio with the addition of TerraSpark’s Insight Earth, advanced 3D visualization and interpretation software. Insight Earth greatly enhances seismic interpretation systems and provides the interpreter with guided tools that can automate the fault extraction process, precisely define salt bodies, deliver fast depictions of paleo-depositional environments and enable the visualization of discrete fracture networks in unconventional plays. Insight Earth brings the most complicated structures into clear definition and delivers superior results.

With Insight Earth joining its Hampson-Russell and Jason software, CGG offers a full and complementary suite of tools to provide its worldwide clients with best-in-class reservoir characterization technology. These include advanced seismic interpretation, petrophysical analysis, well-to-seismic ties, inversion, reservoir property determination and geomodeling.

“Insight Earth and its industry-renowned visualization and interpretation capabilities strongly complements our reservoir characterization software to address the most difficult subsurface challenges, enabling our clients to reduce the risks and costs associated with the discovery and production of hydrocarbons,” said Sophie Zurquiyah, senior executive vice president of CGG’s geology, geophysics & reservoir division.
