Exploring Processes   Quick Tip!

Processes in Insight range from band-pass filtering to model building and all the way to spectral decomposition. The output volumes are generated on the fly and changes to their settings take place immediately. Furthermore, only the data required to update the display is calculated. This makes it really fast to explore and play around with the results!

Automatic Mistie Correction   How-To Video

Don’t spend hours tweaking amplitudes when DUG Insight can do it for you! Whether you are working with 2D lines or 3D volumes, DUG Insight’s automatic mistie correction tool takes the hard work out of calculating and applying time, phase and amplitude corrections. Watch DUG Insight automatically bring balance to your seismic!

Quick Mistie Adjustments   Quick Tip!

It’s common for 2D seismic data to require a bit of adjustment to tie all the lines correctly. DUG Insight has a great Automatic Mistie Correction tool that applies corrections to all 2D lines or 3D volumes. Sometimes only one or two lines require changes; that’s where manual mistie corrections really shine.

Amplitude Extraction & Horizon Attributes   How-To Video

Amplitude extractions are fantastic for resolving geologic features and gaining understanding. Extend your interpretation using our easy to use, on-the-fly horizon properties. Whether depth converting, calculating horizon shape with dip and curvature, or extracting attributes from volumes, DUG Insight takes horizons to another level.

Spectral Analysis   How-To Video

The frequency spectrum of your data can play a big part in deeper understanding. Whether working with wavelets, stacks or pre-stack gathers, our spectral analysis tool makes it easy to get deeper Insight!

Crossplotting 3D Data   How-To Video

Interested in investigating relationships between different datasets? Crosspotting is a fantastic tool. In this example, we use DUG Insights crossplots to compare intercept and gradient volumes. We use a section polygon to find points in the crossplot domain, then highlight the section based on polygons in the crossplot. Finding Class III AVO anomalies has never been so easy!

Working with Synthetics and Gathers   Quick Tip!

When tying synthetics, it’s important to see the full picture. Near stacks can be complicated with multiples, and full stacks can mask the impact of AVO. DUG Insight’s synthetics tool calculates synthetic seismic at any angle, and by incorporating gathers, we gain a better understanding of the well tie.

Multi-attribute Geobodies   Workflow

Understanding multiple attributes is essential when evaluating prospects, but it’s easy to be overwhelmed with an endless array of maps and sections. Indicator volumes and geobodies are are great way to reduce complexity and quickly highlight potential areas of interest.

Multi-Well Crossplots   How-To Video

Correlate wells and identify common lithology using DUG-Insight’s cross-plotting and well correlation tools. Isolate target intervals for the crossplot using horizons and markers, then highlight areas in the crossplot back onto the wells. It’s the perfect tool to extend your correlation through new or historical wells.

Radians to Degrees   How-To Video

In the “real world” we use degrees, but so often math functions expect radians. Using DUG-Insight’s Volume Maths built in functions we can easily work with either. We show how to apply them in these two handy examples. Whether your formula comes from a geoscientist or a mathematician, Insight has your back.

Polygon Operation   How-To Video

New feature time! Convert licence boundaries to polygons and use these in volumetrics, clipping data, or building stunning fault polygons!  Discover how DUG-Insight’s new flexible Polygon Operations feature can help you.

Apply a horizon-varying trace shift   Workflow

In this workflow, we’ll use a combination of DUG-Insight processes to apply a horizon-varying trace shift.  Begin by calculating the difference between an initial and a target horizon and save in a trace header.  The next stage applies this difference to the output volume, shifting the traces.  It can be used to match traces along a particular horizon, such as tying the water bottom.
