ffA, a 3D seismic analysis Software and Services company, has released a new technology for frequency decomposition that reveals information from seismic data right up to the limits of the seismic resolution. Using a proprietary adaptive technology, HD Frequency Decomposition targets signal information at any frequency and achieves the best possible resolution at every point in the trace. The enhanced vertical resolution this gives results in a better match with well data and gives the precise vertical position of even the most subtle geological features.

With HD Frequency Decomposition, ffA claims E & P companies will have access to a technology that reveals previously inaccessible information on many aspects of the imaged geology, e.g. pinch outs, thinly bedded reservoir units etc, that are critical to the technical and economic success of projects.

Agnes Campan, global sales and marketing director to ffA said: "We are very excited by the value that our new HD Frequency Decomposition technology can bring to our customers. With HD Frequency Decomposition, geoscientists can accurately isolate and reveal geological features that were hidden in the data, which means that they are able to make much more effective use of their expensively acquired seismic data resulting in improvements in the entire workflow."

She continued, "ffA's reputation is based on working closely with the global oil and gas industry to introduce cutting edge software and services that solve the problems faced by geoscientists. HD Frequency Decomposition adds to our track record of success in geoscience innovation where we are constantly striving to deliver technologies that improve interpretative decision making."

Steve Purves, technical director for ffA commented: "We have invested 5 years of development into the HD Frequency Decomposition technology so that we could step beyond the resolution limitations of conventional frequency decomposition techniques. As a result we have taken a big step forward in the amount of information that can obtained be efficiently from seismic data to give our customers a much clearer view of the geology they are working with."
