dGB Earth Sciences announced the launch of its new SynthRock plugin. SynthRock is a software module that combines forward modeling, rock physics and inversion into one package and will play a key role in lowering exploration risk and quantifying reserves.

The new plugin, which will form part of the latest version of dGB’s seismic interpretation software OpendTect 4.6, is a new and powerful toolkit for creating and using forward models in qualitative and quantitative seismic interpretation studies.

SynthRock will enable users to utilize simple wedge models and cross-sections created from interpolated (pseudo-) wells to build workflows and create ‘what if’ scenarios. The wedge models will help interpreters understand the seismic response of the interval of interest and more complex stochastic simulations can open the way to advanced reservoir characterization workflows via cross-plots, Probability Density Functions or a unique inversion approach called the HitCube.
