15 - SeisX Wish List

Performance

  1. Two Gig plus file handling
  2. Improved handling of large 2D and 3D projects
  3. Pre Rasterize Seismic Display
  4. Data compression on the fly. Some of the off shore data sets are as large as 30 gig and further compression from eight bit would be desirable.
  5. On NT machine have different color pallets for each screen
  6. Single button press to save tops
  7. Port SeisX to Linux

Data Management

  1. Project list items can be displayed and edited. This enables a project to be copied and all seismic line name pointers easily updated
  2. Need a search string option in the delete well window (for wells in exactly the same position)(Hillar)
  3. Need an export grid to ASCII format option (Hillar)
  4. Provide the ability to edit the EBCDIC seismic line header
  5. Append information to the File description string. This will preserve some of the previous steps. Increase the length of this field to say 240 bytes.
  6. Save process seismic data flow to be used again
  7. Allow for a list of criteria expresions so that a number of them can be chosen at any one time - ie. a check list. (Hillar)
  8. Add the ability to specify the file name when loading 2D from disk (Hillar)
  9. Add ability to set an automatic clip value as a percent when loading. (Hillar)
  10. Add a search by UWI option on the Tdmodule window (Hillar)
  11. Add the ability to change the process version number when loading (Hillar)
  12. Need a search string option in all of the well attributes windows (Hillar)
  13. For map based well selection need an option to choose from list of wells when more than one well lies in the same geographical position. (Hillar)
  14. For loading from disk need the option to specify output line name and path (Hillar)
  15. An enhancement for the horizon computations box would be to allow for scientific notation so that typing long decimals can be avoided ie. allow 945e-9 rather than .000000945.(Hillar)
  16. In the processing-process seismic data, be able to select a line version number and see the processing flow applied -again to better keep track of the work flows: let's get rid of paper notes!!(Cap)
  17. Include the list of displayed horizons for each saved session (Norm)
  18. Colour table to be loaded automatically according to data type displayed for both seismic and maps
  19. Horizon files can be shared between multiple users
  20. External routine to convert Lat Long to different X,Y projection systems
  21. Provide well projections for crooked lines
  22. Provide a window option as a processing step

Interpretation

  1. Provide the option to display a grid surface as a horizon display on all seismic profiles.
  2. VSP -- Project Datum and replacement velocity. VSP's and tops cannot be shifted in time. All seismic tied to VSP's (Leon)
  3. Well log cross section display program. Ability to display cross section as an overlay on top of seismic display (Eric)
  4. Multi Attribute Display (Eric)
    • Ability to combine two displays into one. This will enable the user to display both the near and far offset AVO sections.
    • Cross plot a user selected window (avo anomaly) interactively
    • 2 dimensional color palette so the user can combine a near and far offset stack
  5. Multi Attribute Extract at Well Locations. This will permit the cross plotting of a specific seismic attribute against a well parameter (eg porosity) (Eric)
  6. Display Well log curves as an overlay on top of the seismic display (Karin)
  7. Display Dip meter Data as an overlay along the well deviation profile (Eric)
  8. In mistie analysis needs the ability to apply the computed static shifts without processing the lines. (Hillar)
  9. In the horizons-stratigraphic amplitude analysis section, save last flow parameters so when after mapping, being able to make little adjustments to previous flow -this would reduce waste of time writing down parameters over and over again when just refining parameters needed(Cap)
  10. Allow interpreter to select an horizon in 'horizon output' and to see the flow parameters as well as the line versions selected to create such horizon -this would allow us to better keep track of previous work and avoid redundancy (Cap)
  11. Depth conversion of a seismic line profile according to the Time Depth functions on a line. This would give the Geologist the ability to have a seismic back drop to a cross section in depth
  12. Paint brush functions for 3D interpretation
  13. Cross Sections
  14. Permit a "fake" 3D to be created to control where seismic picks are made and for proper depth conversion
  15. Network Drainage analysis
  16. Ability to flip display from an inline, crossline right to inline, crossline left
  17. Displayed horizons can be dashed or dotted as another display attribute
  18. Transparent color fill can be specified between horizons

Mapping -- Hardcopy

  1. Provide opacity controls to the color scale. This facility would be useful for transparent color filled grids. Interpreted horizons could be seen beneath color filled grids.
  2. Ability to plot Seismic lines navigation as different cultures layer without loading the data.
  3. Utility to convert Latitude Longitude into various X,Y projections
  4. Better controls on culture line editing: Need clearer difference between adding and moving points (Hillar)
  5. Add controls for adjusting SP labeling size and increment on hardcopy output of seismic sections. (Hillar)
  6. Need more contouring controls in Time-Depth, don't like the extrapolation (Hillar)
  7. Permit the user to specify an order to build up the Base Map, this is especially important for the control of Polygons
  8. Permit polygons to be either transparent or opaque. User can select order of polygons
  9. User control for the number of decimal points and for the font thickness
  10. User specified 2D line display order. This option would permit the user to be able to use the slider bar to advance through a sequence of seismic lines. This would be particularily useful for data sets on a regular grid (offshore)
  11. Ability to plot horizon amplitudes on lines with displayed synthetic or merged lines.

Un-Official Bug Reports

  1. SeisX will not update the navigation correctly from a separate SEGP file when a seismic line is defined by only two points. Problem due to be fixed in release 3.5 (August 9, 1999)

Un-Official Work Arounds

  1. Increase the number of points to define a seismic line
