What We Do Best

We are seismic scanning, vectorizing and trace tracking specialists. Combining our considerable experience with unique proprietary software, we produce a digital output which is true to the original seismic data.

Specialists In

Seismic Vectorizing

Seismic vectorizing quality varies widely across the industry. Although some vectorized SEG-Y files may initially appear acceptable, they will often be missing much of the underlying data. Followave’s SEG-Y output derives from newly developed vectorizing software with several new techniques.

Z

We use image editing software specifically designed for large images and can consolidate multiple seismic images into one section.

Z

Image markings or hand-drawn interpretation are edited out before capturing the underlying seismic.

Z

Shot-point and CMP data is recorded.

Z

Extra EBCDIC information is typed from the label (if it exists).

Z

Our software predicts the invisible positive overlap of the peaks and also tracks the negative trough wiggle lines.

Z

Each trace is bandpass filtered (outside the original frequency range) and amplitude balanced across the whole trace.

Z

The final output is presented as a 32 Bit IBM Floating Point SEG-Y file.

Z

A comprehensive report spreadsheet is included.

Z

Navigation information can be added to the SEG-Y files for easier loading.

Seismic Displays

Variable density or colour

Seismic Vectorising Services - Followave Ltd

Most colour sections can be accurately digitized to SEG-Y. Common examples of this display type include greyscale, black-red and blue-red.

Followave offers high quality seismic reconstruction to SEG-Y from most image sources: photographs, desktop A4 scanned images, computer screen-captured images, data room images, CGM, JPEG, PNG image files etc., all the way up to high resolution large scale seismic hardcopy or plots. Seismic type displays such as Vertical Seismic Profiles (VSPs), EPC and ocean bottom surveys can also be digitized.

Interpretation Removal

Our new seismic ‘Fill Interpolation Filter’ at work.

Interpretation normally persists in screenshot image capture, but with Fill Interpolation we are able to remove it from the SEGY.

Variable area with wiggle

This is the most common display type for 2D seismic and well synthetics and has the positive ‘peak’ samples of each trace filled in black, and the negative ‘trough’ samples shown as a thin line. Followave can directly track each seismic trace within this display type and then intelligently interpolate any gaps to complete the full waveform.

Variable area without wiggle

This is similar to the above seismic data display, but has no negative thin line shown and only the positive ‘peak’ samples of each trace are filled in black. To maximise quality, Followave intelligently predicts the positive peak amplitude values and a natural amplitude for each negative trough sample is then calculated.

Image Recovery

Seismic Image Reconstruction work - Followave Ltd

Most clean-up work is included within the seismic vectorization process. However, in some cases seismic sections may be extensively marked or have significant drawing interpretation over them. If that is the case, extra time may be required to clean these images before digitizing.

The final seismic reconstruction is promptly returned inside oil and gas industry standard SEG-Y format files, accompanied with a comprehensive report spreadsheet.
