Fusion Petroleum
Technologies Inc. has developed a
revolutionary broadband spectral
inversion technique that produces
ultra-high-resolution seismic data
that enhances mapping and further
analysis. This new technique, called
ThinMAN™,
removes the deleterious effects of
the seismic wavelet that cause
degraded resolution.
ThinMAN™
can be performed without well
calibration, and requires no a
priori model, no interpreted
horizons, and no assumed
reflectivity spectra.
ThinMAN™
is now being offered exclusively by
Fusion and can be used in a broad
range of applications.
ThinMAN™
now has years of internal use
for clients around the world and now
the software is available for
purchase.
ThinMAN™ provides
superior resolution over
conventional inversion
methods
that can be applied to a
broad range of
geophysical problems.
ThinMAN™
inversion results for a
seismic line in the
onshore United States.
Note the prograding
lithologic units in the
inversion section
(bottom) that are not
clearly imaging in the
original data (top).

inversion results from
the onshore Gulf of
Mexico showing prograding sand bodies
that were not imaged
clearly by the original
seismic data shown by
the arrows.

States showing the

and impedance inversion
(right). The Caddo to
Mississippian carbonate
section starts at the
strong yellow horizon at
0.770 seconds on the
left side of the
section. The Barnett
shale (blue) and
Mississippian carbonates
occur at 0.890 seconds
on the left side of the
section. Note the local
variations in the
thickness of the Barnett
shale on the
ThinMAN™ section
that are not obvious in
the original section.
