FREQUENSOL

3D Topography Modeling

High-precision topography data is often available, but is underutilized due to the limitations of conventional modeling solutions. FrequenSolve enables high-order accurate modeling of topography that can inform acquisition design and reduce the need for extensive static correction and multi-stage processing during inversion.

Schulte Wave Modeling

Ocean sediments support slow shear waves that encode high-resolution information about sediment properties, but can be difficult to model and thus leverage in imaging workflows. FrequenSolve enables modeling these waves with unprecedented accuracy and efficiency by aligning the mesh to the fluid-sediment interface, coupling acoustic-viscoelastic physics across the interface, and localizing slow sediments with adaptivity.

Seismic Speckle

Near-surface layers often contain slow weathered zones with fine-scale heterogeneities that scatter and distort seismic signals. FrequenSolve's adaptive meshing localizes slow layers, enabling accurate and efficient modeling of challenging near-surface conditions, and providing key insights into acquisition design and processing methods in these environments.

3D Borehole / Fracture Modeling

Modeling the interaction of seismic sources with fluid-filled boreholes and fractures is extremely challenging as these features are much smaller than the seismic wavelengths, but interact strongly with the waves, forming tube and Krauklis waves, respectively. FrequenSolve’s finite element setting allows these intricate features to be accurately modeled, and the frequency-domain setting circumvents the stability conditions that make modeling such fine-scale detail prohibitive for conventional approaches.
