Abstract

Systems and methods include a computer-implemented method includes concurrently outputting, by a computing device to a display of the computing device, a graphical time-domain interpretation of seismic data, a graphical velocity model related to the seismic data, and a graphical depth-domain interpretation of the seismic data. The method may further include identifying, by the computing device, a first alteration to one of the time-domain interpretation, the velocity model, and the depth-domain interpretation. The method may further include identifying, by the computing device based on the first alteration, a second alteration to another of the time-domain interpretation, the velocity model, and the depth-domain interpretation. The method may further include updating, by the computing device based on the first alteration and the second alteration, at least two of the graphical time-domain interpretation, the graphical velocity model, and the graphical depth-domain interpretation. Other embodiments may be described or claimed.

Claims (46)

1. A method comprising:

concurrently outputting, by a computing device to a display of the computing device, a graphical time-domain interpretation of seismic data, a graphical velocity model related to the seismic data, and a graphical depth-domain interpretation of the seismic data;

identifying, by the computing device, a first alteration to one of the graphical time-domain interpretation, the graphical velocity model, and the graphical depth-domain interpretation;

identifying, by the computing device based on the first alteration, a second alteration to another of the graphical time-domain interpretation, the graphical velocity model, and the graphical depth-domain interpretation; and

updating, by the computing device based on the first alteration and the second alteration, at least two of the graphical time-domain interpretation, the graphical velocity model, and the graphical depth-domain interpretation.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the graphical time-domain interpretation is to be displayed in a first portion of the display, the graphical velocity model is to be displayed in a second portion of the display, and the graphical depth-domain interpretation is to be displayed in a third portion of the display.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising outputting, by the computing device concurrently with the graphical time-domain interpretation, the graphical velocity model, the graphical depth-domain interpretation, and a graphical structural validation model related to the graphical depth-domain interpretation.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first alteration is an alteration to the graphical velocity model.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first alteration is an alteration to the graphical depth-domain interpretation.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first alteration is an alteration to the graphical time-domain interpretation.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the graphical depth-domain interpretation is based on the graphical velocity model and the graphical time-domain interpretation of the seismic data.

8. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media comprising instructions that, upon execution of the instructions by one or more processors of an electronic device, are to cause the electronic device to:

identify, in a display of an electronic device:

a graphical display based on a time-domain interpretation of seismic data;

a graphical display based on a velocity model related to the seismic data;

a graphical display based on a depth-domain interpretation of the seismic data; and

a graphical display based on a structural validation model related to the depth-domain interpretation of the seismic data;

identify an alteration to one of the time-domain interpretation, the velocity model, the depth-domain interpretation, and the structural validation model; and

update, based on the alteration, the graphical display of at least two of the time-domain interpretation, the velocity model, the depth-domain interpretation, and the structural validation model.

9. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 8 , wherein:

the graphical display based on the time-domain interpretation of seismic data is in a first portion of the display of the electronic device;

the graphical display based on the velocity model related to the seismic data is in a second portion of the display of the electronic device;

the graphical display based on the depth-domain interpretation of the seismic data is in a third portion of the display of the electronic device; and

the graphical display based on the structural validation model related to the seismic data is in a fourth portion of the display of the electronic device.

10. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 8 , wherein the alteration is an alteration to the velocity model.

11. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 8 , wherein the alteration is an alteration to the depth-domain interpretation.

12. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 8 , wherein the alteration is an alteration to the time-domain interpretation.

13. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 8 , wherein the alteration is an alteration to the structural validation model.

14. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 8 , wherein the instructions are further to:

identify, in the display of the electronic device, a graphical display related to a map, wherein the map is to identify a location at which the seismic data was measured; and

update, based on the alteration, the graphical display related to the map.

15. An electronic device comprising:

a display to display:

a graphical display based on a time-domain interpretation of seismic data;

a graphical display based on a velocity model related to the seismic data; and

a graphical display based on a depth-domain interpretation of the seismic data; and

one or more processors communicatively coupled with the display, wherein the one or more processors are to:

identify an alteration to one of the time-domain interpretation, the velocity model, and the depth-domain interpretation; and

update, based on the alteration, the graphical display of at least two of the time-domain interpretation, the velocity model, and the depth-domain interpretation.

16. The electronic device of claim 15 , wherein:
