Why GLOBE Claritas?

Designed By Experienced Processors

Draw on 29 Years of Experience

Feedback, research, suggestions, ideas

Experienced Processing Team User Stories

• We’ve processed surveys from small scale high resolution to regional scale 2D and 3D • We’ve worked in start-ups, major contractors, oil companies and in research. • We design workflows to solve your challenges, not just algorithms • Goal of streamlining production workflows without compromise on quality • New features expressed as “user stories” based on your goals and needs

Designed By Experienced Processors

• Faster communication of ideas and concepts • Clear focus on what the user needs to do the job • We work with you to remove processing bottlenecks • Continually refine new techniques and approaches • A support team that understands the “sharp end”

Outcomes

GLOBE Claritas is designed to be as efficient as possible while retaining accuracy, flexibility and quality

Implemented by Engineers : SCRUM

•Daily 10 minute “health check” – resolve “impediments”

•Demonstrate completed stories, feedback loop

•Identify how much can be done in a Sprint

•Discuss and “size” the User Stories

Backlog Grooming Start-Up

Stand-Up Closedown

• Scrum Project Management • Based on “Agile” methods • Designed for “rapid prototyping” • Works well with “unknowns” • Short, fixed time sprints • Estimate completed work • Demonstrate outcomes • Avoids “big design up front” • Allows scope to change • Retains “user focus” • Avoids “drift”

Implemented by Engineers : TDD Write a test for

the function

Test fails : No Code!

Right code to satisfy test

Test run automatically

Move to the next function

Test Driven Development : new code is “self-testing”

Integration Tests : automated processing flows

Continuous Integration : all tests run automatically

Continuous Deployment : new version available for testing

V5.6 : 663 automatic tests V6.0 : 1769 automated tests

“Traffic Light” radiator display monitors code across all operating systems at all times

“Red, Green, Refactor”

Continuous improvement of engineering quality – refactor to improve speed, reduce complexity

Outcomes

• GLOBE Claritas will continue to evolve efficiently • Development-to-release cycle greatly reduced • Optimisation and extension of algorithms simplified • “Key Developer” risk is eliminated

GLOBE Claritas is continuously improved to be a faster, more durable product, that you can invest in with

confidence.

Open Standards : Data

SEGY HDF5 ASCII

Processing Flows

Display Tools (SV)

Third Party Tools

(matlab etc)

Analysis Tools (CVA)

• Built on an Open Standard framework • SEGY : 1975(!) serial format • HDF5 : modern Tbytes scale parallel format • ASCII format support data

Hugely simplifies connectivity and access across multiple applications; easy to integrate into your workflows and has a low installation footprint.

Open Standards : Coding

Unlock your own geophysical algorithm IP and use it in parallel

Call a C or FORTRAN routine directly from the TRFUDGE module, or just add a few lines in FORTRAN.

Call a PYTHON script, using the power of NumPy or SciPy directly from a GLOBE Claritas flow

Add your own modules using standardised templates, or even modify the modules we provide using the supplied source code

We can provide training and support in algorithm development, as well as a commercialisation pathway via our modular licence keys

Outcomes

• Works with other tools directly – for example MatLab • Easy integration with in-house packages or tools • No additional “software development kit” • Develop a unique capability, tailored to your needs

GLOBE Claritas uses open standards for integration, allowing cost-effective flexibility with the convenience of a

small installation footprint

Scalable Solution : Hardware

• Scales from laptops to supercomputers

• Designed for parallel processing

• Tested on the Cloud, to 4000 cores

• Format designed for Tbyte scale

• Powerful “batch” mode for production

• Cloud Claritas solution available

• Scales with your business as you grow

Outcomes

• Tools you can trust to scale up to large project sizes • One platform that meets your variable needs • Training materials to help your team grow • Experienced senior processors in support

GLOBE Claritas is a platform that can scale with your business needs, allowing you low-risk growth

Streamline Decision Making : XVIEW Interactive gain controls for amplitude level

Panels can be labelled by user for clear displays

Display data as variable density, wiggle and/or variable area plots

Scroll-ridge allows for easy navigation around large-scale plots

Overlay seismic and attribute data, in this case interval velocities showing a high-velocity limestone layer

Panels let you toggle between different versions of the same dataset, comparing results

Click to toggle through colour schemes, with easy to use palette system for customisation

Basic on-the-fly processing : AGC, balance, filter, statics, NMO etc. with on/off toggle

Create digitised horizons to act as constraints for processing or velocity analysis

Interactive analysis windows include frequency, amplitude, FK, radon, Tau-P, text headers, and zoom windows

Rapid comparison of data results and parameter choices

Semblance (and stacks) automatically updated as the stretched mute is picked

Activate mute picking; mute can be automatically applied (default) or not

%age stretch mute is displayed in purple, picked mute in blue Blue triangle on stack shows picked mute locations

Toggle between picked and %age stretch mutes

Live interval velocity display, with options to show previous and next functions

Pick on a fixed increment and add locations where the geology dictates, new functions interpolated automatically

Rapid recalculation of the fan and VVG/VVS panels means you never miss the trend

Choose to pick on additional VVS/VVG or CVS/CVG displays, side-by-side or with animated panel overlays.

Many more features and options gives faster, more accurate analysis

Streamline Decision Making : Velocities

Outcomes

• Displays that allow you to efficiently compare information • Tools that let you focus in detail where the geology demands • Workflows designed to trap typical problems and errors • Focus on the geophysics, not the software

GLOBE Claritas lets you test, compare and check results efficiently, increasing productivity and reducing risk
