Upload SEG-Y volumes and horizon exports, run SpeQ-AVO on a partial-stack group, and view any converted volume as sections or as a 3D cube. The uploaded volumes and the horizons imported against them are what a SpeQ-AVO or Inversion-AVO run works over, and a finished SpeQ-AVO run appears here as a further volume to view alongside its input.

Upload

Pick the volumes and horizon files to upload and say how each volume is organised.

The Upload section of the app
Upload
Field Purpose Range Default
Stack
  • full
  • partial
Whether the volume is a full stack or one member of a partial-stack group. A partial stack needs a group name and a label per file. Partial stacks
Group name Name of the partial-stack group the volumes belong to. Volumes uploaded under the same group can be inverted together. 1 to 80 characters
SEG-Y volumes The SEG-Y files to upload. Each file is converted to a browsable volume once the upload completes.
Horizon files Horizon exports to upload alongside the volumes. They can be imported onto a volume's grid after it has been converted.
Stack label This file's label within its partial-stack group, such as near, mid or far, or an angle range. Labels must be unique within the group. up to 40 characters lowercase letters and digits, with single hyphens between words near
Vertical axis domain
  • Time (ms)
  • Depth (m)
  • Unknown
Whether the vertical axis of this file is time or depth. Leave it unknown to let the converter read the domain from the file. Unknown

Limits are the API's unless marked app. The app may offer a narrower range.

Partial-stack group run

Run SpeQ-AVO on the converted members of a partial-stack group, windowed around a horizon.

Field Purpose Range Default
stack labels Which stacks of the group take part in the run. Unticking a stack leaves it out of the merged result. up to 40 characters, at least 1 value lowercase letters and digits, with single hyphens between words
horizon id The horizon the run is windowed around. Only samples within the margin of this surface are inverted. at least 1 character
margin ms Half-window either side of the horizon that the run covers. A wider margin includes more of the trace above and below the surface. 1 to 2000 ms

Limits are the API's unless marked app. The app may offer a narrower range.

Viewer

Choose which volume the viewer reads.

Field Purpose Range Default
slice-stack Which stack of a group SpeQ-AVO result to display. Shown only when the store holds more than one stack. up to 40 characters lowercase letters and digits, with single hyphens between words
array
  • amplitude
  • coeff_positive
  • coeff_negative
  • coeff_zero
Which sparse-spike coefficient volume of a SpeQ-AVO result to display: positive, negative or zero coefficients.

Limits are the API's unless marked app. The app may offer a narrower range.

Sections

Step through the volume one inline or crossline at a time.

The Sections section of the app
Sections
Field Purpose Range Default
Slice dimension
  • Inline
  • Crossline
  • horizontal
  • horizon
Whether the section is cut along an inline or a crossline. Inline
Inline 1720 (1/269) Position of the section along the chosen axis. Release the slider to load that section. 0 to 268app digits only 0

Limits are the API's unless marked app. The app may offer a narrower range.

3D volume

Three planes through the volume, with an optional horizon surface, drawn as a cube.

The 3D volume section of the app
3D volume
Field Purpose Range Default
inline 1720 … Position of the inline plane through the cube. Release the slider to load that plane. 0 to 268app digits only 0
crossline 898 … Position of the crossline plane through the cube. Release the slider to load that plane. 0 to 560app digits only 0
time 1000 Position of the horizontal plane through the cube, by sample along the vertical axis. Release the slider to load that plane. 0 to 1000app digits only 500
Show
  • inline
  • crossline
  • time
Shows or hides one of the three planes. Hiding a plane reveals what sits behind it. inline, crossline, time
show-horizon Shows or hides the selected horizon surface. Hiding it exposes the reflectors it is meant to be checked against.
show-inset Shows or hides the inset plotting the amplitude distribution along the horizon.
Vertical exaggeration Stretches or squashes the vertical axis of the cube relative to the bin spacing. Higher values make gentle structure easier to see. -2 to 2app -1

Limits are the API's unless marked app. The app may offer a narrower range.

Display

Gain, clipping and overlay controls for the section image.

The Display section of the app
Display
Field Purpose Range Default
Gain
  • None
  • tpow (t^p)
  • AGC
  • Per-trace norm (pbal)
  • Scale
  • Bias
How trace amplitudes are balanced before display: none, a time-power gain, automatic gain control, per-trace normalisation, a fixed scale or a bias. None
p Exponent of the time-power gain. Higher values boost late arrivals more strongly. 0 to 5app 2
win Length of the automatic gain control window in seconds. Shorter windows equalise amplitudes more aggressively. 0.01 to 2 sapp 0.5 s
Gain Factor every amplitude is multiplied by before display. 2
Gain Constant added to every amplitude before display, shifting the image towards positive or negative. 0
Max Amplitude Amplitude at which the colour scale saturates. Lower values bring out weak reflectors; higher values preserve the strongest events.
Clip Percentile of the amplitude distribution used to set the clip. Lower percentiles clip more of the strongest samples. 90 to 100 %app 99 %
coefficient-reveal Drag the handle across the section to reveal the SpeQ-AVO coefficient overlay on top of the amplitude image.

Limits are the API's unless marked app. The app may offer a narrower range.

Horizon import

Turn an uploaded horizon export into a horizon on this volume's grid.

Field Purpose Range Default
source path The uploaded horizon export to import. at least 1 character a horizon file uploaded on the Upload tab
name Display name of the horizon. It is seeded from the file name and can be edited. 1 to 100 characters
