Best Geology and Seismic Software

Dominick Duda
DD
Researched and written by Dominick Duda

Geology and seismic software is used by oil and gas companies to assess the seismic hazard of their fields and deposits. Drilling activities can trigger seismic activity, which is why geology and seismic software is critical for determining the safety of extraction projects before they are implemented. This type of software can also be used to monitor seismic risk during extraction, and to prevent accidents or disruption of activities.

Integration with oil and gas simulation and modeling software is usually provided to create simulations of oil and gas reserves. While some solutions deliver advanced features for 2D and 3D visualizations, others offer integration with this type of software.

To qualify for inclusion in the Geology and Seismic category, a product must:

Provide features to capture seismic data and convert it to 2D or 3D models
Contain geological information for different types of rock formations
Estimate seismic risks for different types of extractions (onshore, offshore, fracking, etc.)
Deliver data and reports needed to obtain licenses and to prepare compliance reports
Create geologic maps to visually represent reserves and their quality
Manage rock samples from different locations, deposits, or wells
