BRIDGE EM Data Integrator

Home

Bridge is an electromagnetics plug-in for Petrel^TM, one of the industry’s leading geological and geophysical integration platforms. The launch of Bridge brought long awaited electromagnetics functionality to the standard Petrel^TMworkflow.

Interpretation of Electromagnetic Data

Interpretation of EM data is usually not a straightforward task, and requires proper software tools and robust interpretation methodology. Bridge provides both - through superior functionality and sophisticated workflows.

Since EM is not a standalone tool, integration with seismic and other subsurface data is needed to extract the full value from EM data in an exploration workflow. Bridge users benefit from the geological and geophysical integration platform of Petrel^TM.

We argue that combined data- and model driven integrated interpretation is the best approach when interpreting EM data. Interpretation of EM data should therefore be based on both attribute analysis, forward modeling and inversion.

Bridge EM Data Integrator is a Petrel^TM plug-in product

The Bridge EM Data Integrator uses the familiar Petrel^TM user interface and provides functionality to organize, visualize, analyze, model and interpret electromagnetic data. Access to EM technology and EM data in Petrel^TM enables new and improved workflows. Bridge EM Data Integrator brings the EM technology out to the masses!

Key features in Bridge EM Data Integrator

Anisotropic plane layer forward modeling
Interactive survey planning tools
Dedicated EM window for display, editing and QC of EM data
Superior functionality for creating multiple
EM attributes in various formats
State-of-the-art 2D and 3D visualization of EM data
Integration of EM data with seismic and other subsurface data
Multiple reference options for data normalization, including use of synthetic reference surveys from 2.5D or 3D modeling

Benefits with Bridge EM Data Integrator

All data types (seismic, well logs, EM data) on one platform
Allows the user to quickly start interpreting the EM data
Both data- and model driven interpretation approach (Bridge EM Interpretation loop)
EM attributes are essential for obtaining a good understanding of the data before more advanced processing is done, and to guide the update of the subsurface model in forward modeling studies
Supports data (measured and modeled) from several service providers
SEG-Y resistivity sections/volumes from inversion can be imported directly into Bridge

Future Development of Bridge EM Data Integrator

Our goal is to release two new versions of Bridge every year. These will include upgrades based on customer feedback – in addition to new functionality and new integration workflows.

Since modeling is very important in understanding and integrating EM data, we are planning to include both inversion and more advanced forward modeling tools in future versions of Bridge.
