GX Technology Partners with Scott Pickford to Produce Geologically Calibrated Depth Images

GX Technology (GXT) and Scott Pickford, the Reservoir Management Division of Core Laboratories, recently formed a preferred partnership that brings together best-in-class providers to produce geologically calibrated, high fidelity depth images and subsurface description.

The two companies work together, each sharing its technology and expertise to produce joint solutions. In a typical workflow, the companies first use GXT's prestack Kirchhoff or wave equation depth migration technology to produce high fidelity, amplitude-preserved depth images. Scott Pickford's technologies, including advanced AVO, Coherence Cube™ processing, attribute analysis and core-to-seismic calibration, are then applied to the depth seismic data. The result is a geologically calibrated seismic depth volume and subsurface description, including lithology, fluid and fracture prediction. The integrated geophysical and geological description of the subsurface is used by oil company clients to significantly reduce the risk and cost of finding and producing petroleum.

Chris Cottam, VP of Reservoir Management for Core, sa id, "We believe this partnership creates a unique offering to the industry. Together, Scott Pickford and GXT will help our clients extract more value from their seismic, geologic and engineering data. This will enable them to reduce significantly E&P risk and ultimately increase hydrocarbon production from their reservoirs."
