SBIR Phase II: Internet Based Remote Seismic Depth Imaging

这个小型企业创新研究(SBIR)第二阶段项目将开发一种地震处理系统，使其能够通过互联网和内部网提供尖端的地震服务。基于互联网的地震处理(INSP)使勘探公司能够直接控制他们的关键地震成像项目，而不需要购买和维护昂贵的硬件和软件。INSP是一个完整的处理系统，包括一个基于客户端的Java图形用户界面，以及基于服务器的处理和数据库模块。计算密集型模块在共享内存的并行计算机和Linux集群上运行。第一阶段实现了有用产品的基本功能，论证了概念的可行性，并为第二阶段项目奠定了基础。第二阶段将为该产品增加功能，并实施互联网部署所需的所有安全和数据管理方面。INSP开启了上游石油和天然气行业的范式转变。商业潜力很大，因为INSP使希望将其非核心能力外包给应用服务提供商，同时保持对项目的控制的大型客户群能够获得数字信息和计算密集型技术。INSP大大增加了客户和承包商之间的互动，从而提高了最终地震图像的质量，并降低了勘探和开发成本。

This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project will develop a seismic processing system that enables the delivery of leading-edge seismic services over the Internet and Intranets. Internet-based seismic processing (INSP) enables exploration companies to directly control their critical seismic imaging projects, without the need of purchasing and maintaining expensive hardware and software. INSP is a complete processing system that includes a client-based Java GUI, and server-based processing and database modules. The computationally intensive modules run on shared-memory parallel computers and Linux clusters. Phase I implemented the essential functionalities for a useful product, demonstrated concept feasibility, and laid the groundwork for the Phase II project. Phase II will add functionality to the product, and implement all security and data management aspects necessary for Internet deployment. INSP ushers in a paradigm shift for the upstream oil and gas industry. Commercial potential is significant because INSP makes digital information and compute-intensive technology accessible to a large client base that wishes to outsource its non-core competencies to an application service provider, while maintaining control of projects. INSP greatly increases interaction between the client and contractor, thereby increasing the quality of the final seismic image, and reducing exploration and development cost.
