Landmark releases ProMAGIC server

Integration software connects ProMAX and GeoProbe for Rapid
Prospect Generation
Landmark Graphics Corporation, a wholly owned business unit of Halliburton,
released ProMAGIC(TM) Server, an integration software product that
creates a revolutionary interpretive 3-D seismic processing environment.
ProMAGIC Server connects the visualization speed and precision
of the GeoProbe(TM) volume interpretation system with the proven
processing power of the ProMAX 3D(TM) seismic processing system.
The software was developed in collaboration with BP, a leader in
innovative processing and 3-D visualization workflows. ProMAGIC
Server enables ProMAX 3D seismic processors to leverage the volume
visualization environment of GeoProbe to achieve greater analysis
speed, more accurate parameter selection, and more rapid quality
control for large data sets than is possible with traditional processing
methods.
"Given the size of today's 3-D seismic surveys, the complexity
of current exploration plays and reservoir settings, and the drive
for reduced project cycle-time, geoscientists need to be more productive,"
said Andy Lane, president and CEO, Landmark. "Collaboration
between processors and interpreters through a common 3-D visualization
environment assures higher fidelity seismic data output, greater
confidence in seismic interpretations and more rapid prospect generation."
Processing in the ProMAGIC environment offers integration with
well information and data derived from other Landmark applications
through OpenWorks(TM). Processing parameter selection and quality
control in the context of all relevant geological and geophysical
data leads to a more accurate seismic data volume. Processors must
use the same tools and displays as the end users of the seismic
data, otherwise interpreters see detail which is not seen by the
processor.
Advanced horizon picking capabilities, similar to those developed
for interpreters, increases accuracy and reduces cycle time for
historically time consuming and tedious tasks. Picking first-arrival
energy for refraction statics analysis or defining an accurate velocity
field can be done very quickly.
"The seismic response to complex reservoirs is better understood
when large amounts of pre-stack data can be viewed and quickly scanned,"
said Murray Roth, executive vice president, Systems and Marketing,
Landmark. "ProMAGIC enables a geoscientist to scan through
large amounts of data and benefit from viewing multiple 3-D data
volumes simultaneously increasing processing analysis speed and
accuracy."
