  • Publication number: 20260338981
    Abstract: A computing system for providing standardized seismic processing workflows includes a workflow template registry configured to register a plurality of workflow templates that each include one or more steps that produce output seismic data. The computing system also includes a workflow execution track template registry configured to register a plurality of track templates. Each track template includes one or more of the workflow templates. The computing system also includes a workflow execution graphical user interface configured to enable a definition of a seismic processing project. The seismic processing project includes a plurality of tracks and a sequence of seismic processing activities. The computing system also includes a workflow execution dispatcher configured to cause the one or more steps to interact with a cloud computing environment. The computing system also includes an output data registry.

  • Patent number: 12535605
    Abstract: A method can include receiving a digital operational plan that specifies computational tasks for seismic workflows, that specifies computational resources and that specifies execution information; dispatching instructions that provision the computational resources for one of the computational tasks for one of the seismic workflows; issuing a request for the execution information; receiving the requested execution information during execution of the one of the computational tasks using the provisioned computational resources; and, based on the received execution information indicating that the execution of the one of the computational tasks deviates from the digital operational plan, dispatching at least one additional instruction that provisions at least one additional computational resource for the one of the computational tasks for the one of the seismic workflows.
