 SSB


Seismic Spectral Blueing
(built using Qt®)

Shapes spectra of seismic data to be consistent with the Earth's reflectivity.

Provides a globally optimised spectral shaping of 2D/3D seismic data to be consistent with observed Earth's reflectivity.
Seamlessly integrated with existing seismic interpretation systems and allows Interpretation Geophysicists to gain access to blueing techniques.
Rapid, robust, inexpensive and eliminates the need for expert users.
Normalisation allows the relative amplitude changes observed in the blued volumes to be interpreted quantitatively.
SSB can assist in the interpretation of small scale faulting not seen on original seismic.
Available as an OpendTect pluginOpendTect plugin
Soon to be available as a Petrel plugin via the Ocean development framework.

Product Description

Observed behaviour of reflectivity data obtained from wells shows that in a global sense the higher the frequencies the higher the amplitude. We refer to this as the spectrum being blue. During the processing of seismic data the amplitudes are often whitened. Spectral shaping of seismic data using SSB can enhance resolution without boosting noise to an unacceptable level.


Benefits of SSB
SSB sections are usually easier to interpret and reveal more information about the subsurface. Small scale faulting, not seen on the original section, is often observed. Such additional information can be useful during well planning. SSB is rapid, easy to use, inexpensive, robust and does not require expert users. SSB seamlessly connects with third party seismic and well data repositories (including SeisWorks, OpenWorks and GeoFrame) using our client/server technology. SSB is also available as an OpendTect plugin and can be downloaded from the OpendTect downloads center.  This allows SSB analysis, operator design and processing to be performed without separately importing or exporting data.

Application Support and Maintenance
With a support and maintenance contract from ARK CLS Limited, clients can download software updates in the form of new releases and patches.

Online documentation is available for SsbQt standalone and for SsbQt plugin
