Main Features
| 
OpendTect
OpendTect is an open source seismic interpretation software system for processing, visualizing and interpreting multi-volume seismic data, and for fast-track development of innovative interpretation
tools. Optionally OpendTect can be extended with (closed source) commercial plugins. | 
GNU GPL
OpendTect is released under a triple licensing scheme: 1) GPL (open source), 2) Commercial (allows access to the commercial plugins), 3) academic (free plugins for research only). The GPL license covers OpendTect. The software is released with its source code (C++), is not protected by a license manager, and can be used by anyone, including for commercial purposes, as long as the user accepts to adhere to the GNU/GPL rules. | 
2D, 3D, 4D
& Prestack Seismic Analyze 2D, 3D, 4D pre- and post-stack seismic data. | 
2D & 3D Viewers
Data processing and visualization are rigorously integrated in the OpendTect system. Visualization elements can be moved freely through data space to interactively analyze data from stored volumes, or data that are calculated on-the-fly. | 
Volume Rendering
& Stereo Viewing
Volume-rendering, stereo viewing and color blending are supported features. | 
Seismic Attributes
Numerous attributes and filters, math & logic, attributes from attributes are supported in the industry's most powerful attribute engine. | 
Spectral Decomposition
Spectral Decomposition is used for imaging and mapping temporal bed thickness and geological discontinuities. Algorithms include FFT and CWT.
| 
Movie-Style Parameter Testing Attribute parameters (frequency, time gate or step out) can be inspected in a movie-style way, to quickly find the optimal settings for your data. | 
Distributed Computing Heavy processing of large volumes can be carried out in batch mode on multiple machines and on multiple platforms that can be accessed through the network. Interpreters can share surveys. | 
Horizon Tracking The updated horizon tracker has more user-friendly editing capabilities and is more robust due to the new step-wise tracker functionality. | 
Faults Fault planes and fault-sticks sets. | 
Well-Tie The synthetic to seismic well-tie module enables the interpreter to tie wells to seismic. -Synthetic seismogram
-Check-shot correction
-Additional stretch & squeeze
-Updated depth/time model
-Statistical wavelet extraction
-Deterministic wavelet extraction
| 
Time to Depth conversion Use an existing velocity model, or create one with the new Volume Builder.
Supports: on-the-fly TD conversion of display elements and batch processing of volumes. | 
Geobodies Insert an iso-surface in a volume rendered cube and save it as a geobody. Manually draw 3D bodies. | 
Madagascar Processing OpendTect has a generic user interface to Madagascar, the open-source software package for geophysical data processing and reproducible numerical experiments. | 
GMT Mapping Via the link to the open-source GMT package you can create within the OpendTect UI scaled maps of OpendTect results. |  Windows 32 & 64 bit |  Linux 32 & 64 bit
|  Apple Mac OS X
