Seismic Workflow Optimization

Seismic Workflow Optimization solution

The Seismic Workflow Optimization solution standardizes how seismic data is stored in the OSDU OpenVDS format, allowing for the removal of all physical storage duplication; OpenVDS makes seismic data streamable removing the data copying down to the individual workstations. The solution enables new, innovative ways to optimize the seismic data workflow:

  • Consolidation of all seismic data into an Amazon S3 tiered and redundant storage architecture, addressing the needs of archiving as well as high-performance, and can also be integrated with an OSDU Data Platform.
  • Improved ROI through optimized utilization of existing applications and removal of data copy, conversion and duplication, leveraging in-flight format transcoding.

Additionally, the Seismic Workflow Optimization solution delivers the following capabilities:

  • OpenVDS can be directly consumed by AI/ML engines like Tensorflow, removing the costly data preparation.
  • AI/ML can be applied interactively, enabling the powerful synergy between expert geoscientist and computational AI, with drastic acceleration of the workflow while maintaining QC and validation requirements.
  • Seismic data can be conditioned in flight, with mathematical algorithms applied to seismic data instantly, leveraging the compute elasticity of the cloud.
