value from multicomponent seismic data through visualization of hydraulic fracturing measurements. This new product suite comprises TerraView, TerraFusion and TerraMorph, each product being targeted at specific gaps in current E&P software offerings. All these products have begun shipping to an initial base that includes independents, majors, contractors and national government agencies.

TerraView provides multidiscipline E&P visualization — spanning prospect identification through well completions. This software was designed to give E&P companies and contractors the option to incorporate modern visualization technology for internal use or as a services component. In March 2006 Pinnacle Technologies was announced as the first TerraView customer as part of a multiyear technology cooperation to create the industry’s first microseismic and tiltmeter viewer for reservoir and hydraulic fracture monitoring. PTXplorer, the product of this software cooperation, has begun shipping to initial customers as part of Pinnacle’s microseismic monitoring service.

TerraFusion supports multidomain interpretation of geophysical, geological and engineering data. In a world of competing technologies, Transform has designed an application to enhance the capabilities of existing interpretation software. By focusing on data import, shared data access through OpenSpirit, streamlined seismic processing and attribute extraction for concurrent time/depth interpretation, TerraFusion fills major deficiencies in current E&P workflows.

TerraFusion Interpretation is being used for 3-D visualization, data quality control, multivolume equalization, seismic attribute creation, velocity model building, time/depth and depth/time conversion, and other value-added tasks, alongside traditional interpretation tools. As the TerraFusion software evolves, customers will be able to upgrade to TerraFusion Reservoir for reservoir modeling, inversion, geostatistics and other workflow enhancers.

TerraMorph is described as the industry’s only automated multicomponent seismic registration system. Transform has automated the tedious and error-prone task of registering mode-converted to traditional seismic data. Using interactive “stretch-and-squeeze” operations with visual metrics, interpreters are able to rapidly identify major event correlations.

Automated registration technology then establishes the spatial matching along time surfaces, interpreted horizons or throughout a full seismic volume.
