The SeisTiles Consortium

SeisTiles is an R&D consortium that started in 2024, hosted by Norsk Regnesentral and sponsored by Equinor, Aker BP and Wintershall Dea.

The goal of the consortium is to simplify automatic interpretation and analysis of seismic data by using the Seismic Tiles concept, which has been developed by Equinor. Seismic Tiles represent seismic data as tables of piecewise planar reflector segments (“tiles”), rather than as images. The geological and geophysical knowledge of human operators can be translated to queries and algorithms that operate on this data structure, thereby accommodating automatic, large-scale seismic analysis.

Please find below some relevant publications and presentations that describes the method.
