AAPG ACE '15: CGG GeoSoftware releases new Hampson-Russell software suite

DENVER, Colorado -- CGG GeoSoftware has released HRS 10.0, a major release of its industry-leading Hampson-Russell seismic interpretation and reservoir characterization software suite.

The enhanced capabilities of HRS 10.0 reflect a commitment to continually improve reservoir characterization technologies for geoscientists. With these features, users can expand depth-based processes, analyze anisotropy to map fractures, connect rock properties and seismic properties, and increase the resolution of the results through stochastic seismic inversion.

HRS 10.0 unveils two completely new products. RockSI is an interactive tool for exploring the link between rock properties and seismic data through petro-elastic models. GeoSI introduces pre and post-stack stochastic inversion to generate an unlimited number of detailed realizations, allowing uncertainty analysis. GeoSI can also deliver high-resolution lithology or other rock property volumes.

The new release also includes updates and enhancements to existing applications, such as depth-log to depth-seismic correlation, which addresses the increasing need of geoscientists to work with depth volumes. ProAZ for azimuthal AVO now provides synthetic azimuthal modeling from well logs.

For ease of project start-up, HRS 10.0 expands the range of connections to industry-standard interpretation and data storage systems. New functionality for existing applications is automatically provided to clients on maintenance.

Kamal Al-Yahya, senior V.P., GeoSoftware, said, “HRS 10.0 represents the next advance as we continue to increase the range of sophisticated geoscience technologies we deliver within an interactive and intuitive software environment. These provide geophysicists with highly cost-effective tools to support them in their drive for successful prediction of drilling results.”
