A national laboratory‐industry collaboration to use SEG/EAEG model data sets

A collaboration between universities, U.S. national laboratories, the oil and gas industry and was initiated in the spring of 1995 to exploit and enhance the value of the data sets produced by the SEG/EAEG 3-D modeling project (SEM). The project, part of the Department of Energy’s Advanced Computing Technology Initiative (ACTI), is titled “Testing Advanced Computation Tools for 3-D Seismic Analysis Using the SEG/EAEG 3-D Model Data Set” and is usually called ACTI/SEG. Project goals are to complement and extend the usefulness of the SEM data set. The two major efforts will involve testing/improving numerical modeling and developing new imaging/inversion methods. All of these efforts are geared toward the two models generated under the SEM effort.
