Generate Synthetic

The Generate Synthetic application allows you to generate synthetics and save them to the database from it's own module. You can also generate synthetics interactively within the Seismic Viewer and in the Log Editor.

General Information


Well List

Select a well to generate the synthetic. Left click to select a well, or click on the well symbol on the Basemap or in the Seismic Viewer.  To help you make your well selection, you can sort any column by left clicking on the column header, you can apply a filter (), or you can type a search string into the search bar to limit the list using UWI, Name, or Owner information.

For additional selection and navigation options right click on the Well List to access the shortcut menu.

Output Options

Synthetic Name: This is the name the synthetic will have when written to the database.

Sample Rate: The sample rate, in milliseconds, for the output synthetic.

Output RMS: Specifies an output RMS value for the generated synthetic. This allows you to balance the data with the existing seismic in your project.

Amplitude:Adjust the slider to increase or decrease the amplitude of the data relative to the seismic.

Curve Inputs

The Sonic and Density fields will populate if there is an available curve.

Sonic: Use the default sonic curve, or select a curve from the drop down list. Curves in the list can be sorted by clicking on the column headers, and limited by typing a search string into the search bar.

Density: Use the default density curve, or select a curve from the drop down list. Curves in the list can be sorted by clicking on the column headers, and limited by typing a search string into the search bar. If the well has no density curve density values will be calculated using Gardner's equation. To remove the density curve select Clear Selected Items from the drop down list.

Wavelet Options

Select your wavelet and adjust the parameters. Available wavelets are:
