Oil Patch Bits: CGGVertias owned Hampson-Russell redesigns software

Seismic reservoir characterization company Hampson-Russell, owned by CGGVeritas, said March 15 that it has launched a redesigned suite of reservoir characterization software, called HRS-9.

Available as a single application, rather than a suite of separate programs, the software has a new functionality, and all modules have a common interface and data management system. The software can use multithreaded 64 bit computing, allowing for managed use of multiple CPU cores, batch processing for optimum resource scheduling, and the ability to chain processes together that require the output from one process as the input for another and can be used for AVO analysis and inversion, and 4-D and multicomponent interpretation.

“Our focus was to significantly improve our software in our new HRS-9 release. Geoscientists are now able to perform deeper evaluations with more data and generate better results with less effort, fewer steps and a far gentler learning curve,” said Dan Hampson and Brian Russell, founders of Hampson-Russell software.
