SeisRoX

Reservoir-Scale Seismic Simulation

An advanced seismic modeling solution integrating geological properties, rock physics, and survey illumination to simulate prestack depth-migrated seismic images at reservoir scale.

Overview

SeisRoX links reservoir models to seismic response. Geological properties are transformed through rock physics into elastic properties, then combined with survey illumination to simulate prestack depth-migrated images.

This helps teams understand what seismic data can, and cannot, resolve within a reservoir.

Key capabilities

  • Reservoir-scale PSDM image simulation
  • Rock physics transformations
  • Geological-to-seismic property modeling
  • Seismic illumination and resolution analysis
  • Reservoir seismic sensitivity studies
  • Time-lapse and 4D feasibility analysis

Applications

Reservoir characterization: simulate seismic images from geological and rock physics models to support interpretation.

Sensitivity analysis: assess how changes in reservoir properties appear in seismic data, considering illumination and resolution.

4D feasibility: evaluate whether time-lapse seismic is likely to detect expected reservoir changes.

Workflow diagram: interpretation, attributes, external geo-models and well analysis feed a multi-domain geological, elastic and reflectivity model, which with a background model and illumination produces simulated PSDM seismic cubes via SimPLI
