RadExPro

RadExPro is a powerful software for comprehensive processing and interpretation of near-surface on-shore and off-shore seismic and VSP data on Windows 9x/Me/2000/XP/Vista.

Scope and highlights:

RadExPro is operating on inexpensive Windows-driven PC's and workstations. Can be installed on a laptop computer to take into a field/ a research ship. Providing the potential of the full-blown system for seismic processing, interpretation and quality control while away from the central office.

RadExPro is available in several standard configurations.They are united by common graphic shall with user-friendly graphic interface but different in the set of embedded processing modules:

  • Basic - basic processing of near-surface reflection, refraction seismic data processing, analysis of surface waves (MASW) ;
  • Standard - basic processing of near-surface reflection, refraction seismic data processing, analysis of surface waves (MASW), vertical seismic profile (VSP) data processing;
  • QC - field processing and QC of 2D/3D seismic data, advanced processing of near-surface reflection data, processing of refraction seismic data, analysis of surface waves (MASW);
  • Advanced - field processing and QC of 2D/3D seismic data, advanced processing of near-surface reflection data, processing of refraction seismic data, analysis of surface waves (MASW), processing of VSP data.

See the details of the configurations at the bottom of this page.

Advantages:

  • Convenient and easy data input/output allows loading of seismic and GPR data recorded almost in any format either from disk or tape
  • User-friendly interface enables construction of sophysticated processing flows for batch processing of seismic and GPR data
  • Exhaustive set of efficient seismic processing and QC procedures
  • Set of fast interactive tools for seismic and GPR data display and analysis
  • Handy interpreation facilities: horizon picking, seismic sequence attribute analysis, interactive map, well-log data visualization
  • Flexible trace header management, including mathematical operations with header fields and much more
  • Special means for display and analysis of header field values
  • Powerful and effective data base which allows storing of seismic data, processing flows, well data, picks, velocity data, grids, etc.
  • Open scalable architecture – if you miss a specific module, you can build it yourself and integrate into the package! (Programmers working in MS Visual C++ will be provided with special User Application Wizard).

The software includes exhaustive capabilities for VSP data processing and interpretation. It provides all the tools needed for:

  • Trace-by-trace processing with consideration given to the VSP specifics
