INTViewer

Geoscience Analysis and QC, Simplified

INTViewer is a platform and application that allows you to view your seismic data, check for errors, confirm geospatial integrity, perform light processing, and analyze your dataset. INTViewer is specifically designed to quickly access large datasets—prestack, stack, and 2D—from a laptop in the field to a desktop or remotely via the cloud. As a platform, INTViewer makes it easy to add or implement proprietary features on your own to meet the specific needs of your project, and with a simple Python script, you can automate your analysis. Or you can use INTViewer right out of the box as a complete application to work with your data instantly.

INTViewer Features

QC Your Seismic Data

Whether you are working with legacy data or acquiring seismic data in the field, INTViewer makes it easy to inspect and verify your raw data quickly, with built-in Python automation to open and check hundreds of files at virtually the same time.

Perform Light Processing

As a lightweight application, INTViewer can perform pre-processing using your custom algorithms. And the platform is flexible, offering multiple configurations for accessing your data—in the cloud, on your local server, or on our server.

Analyze Your Data

Add your own processing library, proprietary workflows, and trace processors. Perform spectrum and FK/FT/FX analysis, calculate signal-to-noise ratios, export histogram outliers, playback microseismic acquisition, and more.

Present Your Findings

Create portable datasets for presentations on your desktop or laptop with slideshow and lattice decimation plugins. Take screenshots, export your views, playback real-time acquisition measurements, or record your steps as you navigate your data.

Customize Your Workflows

Add your custom algorithm, create custom workflows, connect to external databases like Landmark DecisionSpace, and develop third-party standalone commercial applications, all while keeping your proprietary science completely confidential.

Automate Your Steps

Built-in Python scripting helps you automate your workflows, normalization, conversions, processing, and analysis to increase your productivity and reduce errors. Save and execute your script directly from the application.
