Rock Solid Images today announced a successful start to the Lithology and Fluid Prediction Project, Phase 2 (LFP2). With commitments from over a dozen major exploration and production companies for this three year project, the LFP2 project was initiated today with open enrollment concluding in April. As with the preceding LFP project, Rock Solid Images will continue to develop new algorithms, processes, best practices, workflows, and software that can be rapidly integrated into our sponsor’s E&D programs.


“Our overall goal is to develop systems and procedures that allow us to explain 3-D seismic data in terms of rock and fluid properties,” stated Dr. Joel Walls, senior vice president of Research and Development, “LFP2 represents our continued commitment to providing our customers with access to the best available technology for transforming seismic data into 3-D images of reservoir properties. Rock physics is the key to understanding seismic response and provides the foundation for this technology.”


Keeping with tradition of developing leading edge technology to derive rock properties from seismic data, the major development topics of LFP2 are:



  • Rock physics applications with an emphasis on carbonates

  • Seismic modeling

  • Well-seismic integration, calibration, and inversion



Membership in the LFP2 project is still open to new sponsors and a full proposal is available at www.rocksolidimages.com
