Can Data Analytics Help Reduce Seismic Processing Turnaround

Seismic data volumes are increasing and pressure is growing to accelerate the turnaround time of seismic processing projects. Testing, validation and production administration are time consuming components of a project. Testing is performed to optimize the parameters for each step in the processing sequence. It can be both computer and human resource intensive, as many testing phases require numerous repeat runs and significant interaction with the data. A Proof-of-Concept (POC) example illustrates that parameter testing can be helped by mining for parameters from a database.
