Case Studies
S-Cube's XWI's latest achievements and case studies with out partner companies
Sharper Imaging in the Mahanadi Basin
Working with ONGC in India’s complex Mahanadi Basin, our multi-stage FWI workflow produced a high-resolution velocity model that corrects structural distortions and clearly identifies gas-charged reservoirs, significantly de-risking exploration.
XWI Onshore: Uplifting Vintage Data
S-Cube’s XWI transforms challenging legacy land data, turning a 25-year-old Gulf Coast survey once deemed unsuitable for inversion into a high-resolution RTM image that unlocks new exploration opportunities.
Elastic AWI and RWI in the Santos Basin
Partnering with Petrobras, we applied advanced elastic and acoustic FWI to ocean-bottom node data in Brazil’s Santos Basin, delivering high-resolution velocity models and sub-salt images.
FWI Imaging Through Basalts
In the Norwegian Sea, our three-stage FWI workflow successfully imaged beneath challenging basalt layers using conventional seismic data, delivering detailed velocity models without prior information.
Semi-Global Multi Parameter FWI
With Woodside Energy, we demonstrated that semi-global multi-parameter FWI can be efficiently deployed at hyperscale on the public cloud, achieving anisotropic velocity modeling over 3200 km² in hours.
XWI & DevitoPRO: Limitless Possibilities
S-Cube’s XWI now integrates with DevitoPRO for unprecedented flexibility in seismic modeling, delivering up to 70% performance gains for elastic wave inversion and enabling complex onshore imaging.
