Velit, the brainchild of London-based Equipoise Software is the industry-standard in depth conversion – making the arduous and painstaking task of velocity modelling quite simple – and a task suitable for even a beginner geoscientist.
To think that Velit is a program which is strictly intended for beginners is incorrect. The beauty of the Velit software is that it incorporates an extensive library of methods and means in order to perform depth conversions for a wide range of circumstances – but Velit is also something which is more than suitable for a more advanced hand.
Velit is quite unique among the slew of depth conversion software programs due to the fact that it has so very much data for depth conversion algorithms to pick through and to compare to the data from your project.
No other software package has the amount of information that Velit has, and it is for this reason that the results of your depth conversion using Velit will be among some of the most accurate obtainable.
How Does Velit Have Access to Comprehensive Algo Libraries?
Velit is a program which was born of Equipoise Software’s link to ERCe – an employee owned oil and gas reservoir Evaluation Company which has been in operations since 1982. ERCe are also the team which have oversaw Expert Witness activities in the North Sea for the past 6 years, as well as performing Expert and clientside activities alongside them.
Equipoise Software is a company which have benefitted in a big way from the relationship they share with ERCe via the development of Velit and InSeis – and both programs have been built with access to ERCe’s vast findings throughout their years of operation.
For Depth Conversion and Velocity Modelling, Velit is industry standard, and following the update in late September 2016, Velit is truly going from strength to strength and rising even further from its competition.
To say it’s head and shoulders above is no exaggeration, and Velit has a variety of tools to make even the most complicated array of data be transformed into a real, working and best case model without any frustration or over complication- with Velit bearing the strain, rather than you.
Key Features of Velit
Velit stands apart from its competition by its ability to create “pseudo” wells which can be created from user definable locations in a manual manner, or even automatically via amalgamation of harnessed process velocity data which is then compared to existing well log data.
With Velit, you can see where the velocities are showing—either whether they exist within trends or whether or not they don’t. Conditioning and overlaying your process velocity data with well data is a tried and tested proven way to reveal trends, and with Velit, it really couldn’t be easier. The industry agrees—over the years increasing reliance has been placed upon processing velocity to provide depth solutions as well as imaging solutions.
Within this line of work, it’s often considered that one must keep up with technology as it advances, and to not do so is remiss. Geology, Geoscience and Geophysics are constantly changing, and Velit is a very good way for all of your team to stay up to date and harness innovation in order to produce excellent result.
How Can I Get Velit and InSeis?
Velit and InSeis two programs which offer huge functionality boosts to IHS Kingdom and Petrel, and therefore are available as modules and plug-ins respectively.
