Produce your reservoir without reservation.

Since our inception in 2007, Oil Sands Imaging (OSI) has emerged as one the most sought-after providers of integrated seismic interpretation services for reservoir characterization within the oil sands industry. Today, over one-third of the companies working in the Alberta oil sands are OSI clients.

These companies have partnered with OSI because we have set a new benchmark for accuracy in defining facies, fluids and other reservoir attributes through our advanced Seismic Transformation and Classification (STAC™) workflow. As a result, OSI is providing its clients with tools to produce their reservoirs more efficiently and more cost effectively than ever before.

While our name reflects our specialized expertise in oil sands, unconventional and conventional oil & gas as well as mining now represent a quarter of our operations.

OSI’s Key Attributes:

  • OSI’s advanced Seismic Transformation and Classification (STAC™) workflow transforms seismic data volumes into lithological volumes including facies and fluids classification with a high level of detail and accuracy.
  • We have a measurable track record of predicting facies, fluids and other attributes with an accuracy in the oil sands often exceeding 75% in blind tests.
  • OSI does not believe in a one size fits all solution. Every reservoir is unique. Every client has a specific set of questions about their particular reservoir. Our flexible workflow is customized to provide more than just basic data. Instead, we provide reservoir-specific answers that enhance your understanding.
  • OSI is results-oriented and adds value by giving our clients interpreted data volumes that geophysicists, geologists and engineers can immediately use in operational decisions.
  • We are finding new and practical ways to mine seismic data in order to identify attributes that will improve reservoir understanding. This includes:
    • Facies distribution
    • Fluid content
    • Porosity
    • Permeability
    • Geomechanical properties (brittleness, fractures)
  • Results are delivered to the client only once the best possible solution has been found.   We do not charge on a per-iteration or per-attribute basis. We offer clients an all-inclusive estimate at the outset of the project.
  • Proprietary IMAC™ (Interactive Multi-Attribute Classification) software facilitates our integrated STAC™ workflow, and is unique to OSI.
  • IMAC™ is complemented by industry-leading software from Hampson-Russell and Paradigm, including:
    • AVO
    • Strata
    • Emerge
    • ProMC
    • Geolog
  • Last, but certainly not least, the dedicated team at Oil Sands Imaging is both personable and professional. We have a reputation for excellence and deliver results that are second to none.
