New insights into coherence 1996-2016 What gives rise to the stair-step artifacts? What is the effect of bandpass filtering the input data? How can we combine multiple coherence images into one? Since Nov. 18, 2016, I’ve expanded this short overview at our meeting into a separate presentation containing more details

Quantitative Interpretation – Barnett Shale Bob Hardesty Algorithm Development - Gaussian Mixture Models Andrew Peery Quantitative Interpretation – Red Fork Channels Jake Elders Quantitative Interpretation – Cleveland Channels These folks are graduating during a time of depressed oil prices. Take a look at them!

Commercialization with Geophysical Insights (and potentially others) Most university software requires an internal software group (i.e. research group) to make it work – e.g. SEP, Madagascar, KAUST, MSORP,… Some consortia who have commercialized their research products: GoCad (Université de Nancy) Beicip (Institut français du petrôle) Paradigm (Geoff Dorn work before Terraspark)

Commercialization Geophysical Insights will provide a subset of the AASPI software as an “attribute calculator” (similar to Kingdom Suite’s arrangement with Rock Solid Images) Front end and GUIs will be Paradise Maintenance and help desk will be from Geophysical Insights Computational algorithms will be AASPI algorithms University Restrictions Commercial contract is an “add-on” to the AASPI contract Commercialization contract must be the same for all interested parties All commercialization contracts must be the same If successful, their membership fee would be double

AASPI Welcome 2012 Commercialization (AASPI consortia membership vs. the Paradise AASPI calculator) AASPI members obtain: Unlimited number of licenses for $28000/year (vs a limited number of AASPI attribute calculators in Paradise package) Many developments may not have commercial value for Geophysical Insights New developments (e.g. aberrancy and skeletonization) are exclusive to sponsors for one year Access to source code Code runs on Windows PCs, Linux clusters, and supercomputers (the later using PBS, SLURM, and LSF) Access to us!
