TESTIMONIES
Enhanced Seismic Resolution and Reservoir Understanding from Legacy Data. Jim Geitgey, President, Terra Nova Energy
“ We recently had Lumina review a 90's vintage 3-D data set as to multiple carbonate targets we were working in SE New Mexico. They undertook a number of their proprietary data optimization and resolution enhancement techniques prior to utilizing several of their analysis algorithms, including inversion. In spite of the initial poor data quality, and constraint of having to work with a post-stack dataset, Lumina was able to obtain improved data quality, log to seismic calibrations, and help us answer questions regarding resolution of porosity development and the feasibility of mapping pay zones." Jim Geitgey, President, Terra Nova Energy
Swift Energy-Tight Gas Sandstone Reservoir
Reveals prospective productive locations that are not apparent on a conventional seismic inversion.
Frank F. Limouze, Geophysical Consultant
Working with the Lumina people was easy as they were thorough and professional answering all our questions and explaining the next steps. I was continually encouraged by the interim results. Everyone we dealt with at Lumina was clearly focused on our objectives and made a great effort to meet our goals, an effort well beyond what I expected.
Subsurface Manager of independent operator, Appalachia
A summary of my experience with Lumina’s product would be: ‘The deliverables that Lumina provided us with were very impactful to us executing successful wells. Lumina’s Post-stack Ultra and FaultDetect volumes enabled us to anticipate potential structural hazards while drilling and planning for them. The volumes and were a major factor in us successfully geosteering laterals of up to 20,000’ in length.
