Paper Summary
As we finalise this TechLink, PGS has been named as the recipient of the E&P Meritorious Award for Engineering Innovation in Exploration Technology for its development of PGS hyperBeam, a fully integrated real-time model building and depth imaging workflow environment. Depth imaging workflows can take days to complete with time spent not only running the various applications, but also with data and system management. PGS hyperBeam allows for real-time analysis and interaction with velocity models and seismic depth images and gathers. It provides scenario testing and real-time data analysis of all steps in the depth imaging workflow. The seamless integration with 3D visualization makes the tool ideal for collaborative work on depth image projects for exploration and well planning. The impact of model updates and changes can be analyzed Realtime, in a setting that is familiar to such crossdisciplinarity teams.
