BEIJING -- Paradigm has launched the Common Reflection Angle Migration (CRAM) software, which is designed to improve the quality of information obtained from seismic data processing. The product is now available for worldwide customer licensing, as well as use by Paradigm's Strategic Consulting group.
Based on a new procedure that maps recorded seismic surface data to subsurface image points, the software is specifically designed to help resolve difficult subsurface illumination problems and to facilitate and qualify the extraction of direct hydrocarbon indicators from seismic data. The application maintains flexibility of traditional ray-based solutions, while inheriting the desirable properties of full-waveform solutions.
"The Common Reflection Angle Migration was specifically designed to supplement the current set of imaging tools available to geophysicists who are frequently challenged by matching imaging algorithm and methodology to the exploration objective," says Zvi Koren, chief geophysicist and seismic imaging product manager for Paradigm. "By formulating the imaging in the local angle domain, we are able to secure a different perspective on the subsurface."
