Seismic Interpretation QA Review

AI-powered seismic data analysis platform for duplicate-free seismic storage, streaming interpretation, automated fault and horizon picking, multi-attribute geological feature detection, analogue screening, and subsurface-informed exploration capital allocation.

The Problem

“SeisSight modernizes seismic interpretation, analogue screening, and exploration capital allocation on a duplicate-free seismic data foundation”

Organizations face these key challenges:

1

Duplicated seismic datasets increase storage cost and governance complexity

2

Large seismic volumes are slow to access and difficult to share across teams

3

Manual fault and horizon interpretation is labor-intensive and interpreter-dependent

4

Regional offshore interpretation programs take too long to support exploration timelines

Impact When Solved

Reduce duplicated seismic storage across archives, applications, and workstationsEnable workstation-free streaming access to large seismic volumesCut manual effort for fault picking and 3D horizon trackingImprove consistency of regional offshore seismic interpretation

The Shift

Before AI~85% Manual

Human Does

  • •Copy seismic datasets between archives, applications, and local workstations for project access
  • •Manually interpret faults, horizons, and stratal slices across regional seismic programs
  • •Run analogue studies using user-selected criteria and spreadsheet comparisons
  • •Combine technical assessments with economics in workshops to prioritize exploration and development projects

Automation

  • •No material AI support in seismic interpretation workflows
  • •No automated duplicate detection or centralized seismic access management
  • •No systematic analogue ranking across full geological and production attributes
  • •No integrated scoring of subsurface and commercial inputs for capital allocation
With AI~75% Automated

Human Does

  • •Approve data access, governance rules, and priority seismic programs for analysis
  • •Review, edit, and validate AI-proposed faults, horizons, and geological feature interpretations
  • •Set analogue screening constraints and assess whether ranked matches are decision-relevant

AI Handles

  • •Centralize seismic content into duplicate-free streaming access with indexed metadata and lineage tracking
  • •Analyze 2D and 3D seismic volumes to propose faults, horizons, and multi-attribute geological features
  • •Rank analogue fields using full-attribute similarity and explain relevance across reservoir and development factors
  • •Combine subsurface, operational, and commercial signals into scenario-based project scores and prioritized recommendations

Operating Intelligence

How Seismic Interpretation QA Review runs once it is live

AI runs the first three steps autonomously.

Humans own every decision.
