PetroTrace has many years of experience in processing and interpreting seismic data, which allows it to create its own developments that accelerate the work and improve the quality of seismic images. Today the company has its own software development department with high-class programmers, who in tandem with geophysicists and geologists create domestic solutions.
The iNSTA-Geo© software package is a domestic development and serves as an effective tool for constructing a top section model of the environment. The software package is based on the approach of interactive correction of static corrections based on the analysis of sections obtained on the spatially fixed summation bases (sfp – surface fixed patterns). This technique can be used for all types of data. In comparison with traditional approaches, such as building the upper section model with first-breaks tomography, the interactive correction of static corrections does not depend on the quality of first-breaks data. In addition, the insta-geo software package has a wide range of procedures for processing seismic data, including first-breaks modeling of the upper section, velocity analysis, refining the long-period trend from horizontal spectra, working with maps and data, and functionality for simultaneous work with 2d and 3d data.

The iNSTA-Geo software software package implements an interactive approach to static corrections. The concept consists in the formation of static corrections as a time-shift model adequately reflecting the heterogeneities of upper part of the section, including the following steps:
– separation of heterogeneities zones along the profile (area)
– determination of the wave travel time increments on the heterogeneities boundaries and the preliminary estimation of the static anomaly
– an additional automatic correction of the different components of the static corrections
An important component of the methodology is how to extract the information about heterogeneities from the processed seismic data. To identify zones of heterogeneities and to estimate the level of time delays within them, we use
– various trace summation schemes (obtaining full and partial – in different ranges of distances, including with fixed position of summation bases – CDP, CSP,CRP summations)
– separate gathers (with kinematic corrections), on which the in-phase axes are detected sufficiently confidently
– travel time curves of the first breaks or acquisition of traces of equal offsets for the initial part of the record
– horizontal velocity spectra V^CDP both on the full spread and on its half
– summation results (CDP, CSP,CRP) with introduction of different variants of time delays as static corrections.
Creating a refractor model in Time Offset Scatter.
The use of first breaks information is the basis for building a model of the upper part of the section. The iNSTA-GEO software package implements the ability to trace first breaks and build a layered model to calculate static corrections. The program implements a convenient functionality that allows setting the initial model of the medium in a few minutes using semi-automatic tools. The resulting velocity models can be smoothed and transformed from depth to time domain. Using a combination of the upper section part model building tools and interactive static corrections in iNSTA-GEO software, it is possible to take into account the influence of a variety of near-surface heterogeneities.
software product also has a unique functionality to control the quality of shooting surveys for 4D processing and interpretation. It is based on the evaluation of the positioning of receiver-source pairs and the subsequent calculation of NRMS attributes, which clearly demonstrate the deviation of the surveys from each other.

The iNSTA-Geo software package is a state-of-the-art software product that includes all the necessary tools to build a top section model and perform quality control of previously obtained static corrections libraries. The wide functionality and devkit allows extending and introducing the world’s best practices of working with seismic data into the software package and automating routine tasks of geophysicists. Petrotrace has a certificate of state registration of insta-geo – interactive near-surface technologies application and owns the intellectual rights to the product.
Petrotrace performs digital data processing in both domestic and foreign systems. As part of developing and improving the quality of its services, the specialists of the technology department, working closely with the company’s project geophysicists and geologists, are developing additional modules for Emerson ECHOS software. The modules incorporate our years of experience and best practices in seismic data processing, as well as sophisticated modern algorithms and job flows, which are the intellectual property of the company. The use of these modules will improve the quality of seismic data processing.
The software module package includes the following procedures:
AFA – Footprint suppressionANEL – noise reduction
AVOREG – regularization
FK3D – slope filter for cubes
GFLAT – phase correction
MSHYP – high resolution transformation
Radon – for suppression of multiples with hyperbolic approximation of multiple waves
MSPAR – high resolution transform
Radon – for suppression of multiples with parabolic approximation of multiple waves
PSP2G – adding post-processing results to gathers
RFSC – amplitude-frequency smoothing
SGFKP – linear slant noise suppression
SLS – special dip suppression on gathers with introduced kinematics

HEE3d – performs noise reduction in super-samples of 3d cmp gathers (kinematics should not be entered in the input gathers) based on the extraction of events corresponding to different positions of reflectors and diffractors in space. In addition, event stack traces are appended to the output gathers, in which each event is summarized with its own kinematics, not kinematics.

The complex includes the following modules:
VOLREG – eliminates both incoherent and coherent noise in the summarized data, while preserving discontinuities. The procedure algorithm is based on the self-consistent oblique summation of the extracted regular component (instead of the oblique summation of the input data), taking into account the automatically estimated coherence
ADDLF – spectrum broadening towards low frequencies
SW – spectrum broadening

The software complexes of PetroTrace have been tested and used in real projects for the last 5 years. During this time, the images of the environment obtained during re-processing of the same data became more resolved and reliable. The software development department at PetroTrace has been improving the modules based on feedback from geophysicists to keep the programs up to date. PetroTrace’s software packages are an excellent extension of your seismic data processing toolkit.
