Rock Physics and Seismic Modeling
Version 2.2
iMOSS is a powerful, interactive, seismic modeling and rock physics application for use in quantitative interpretation. It enables interpreters, modelers, and others geoscientists to control an array of sophisticated tools so they may understand the underlying rock and fluid controls on seismic amplitude, impedance, and AVA response.

iMOSS used for WellTie.
Designed for Occasional Users and Rock Physics Experts
iMOSS provides functionality for persons with a wide range of expertise in rock physics and seismic modeling. Users will open pre-designed base projects and workflows that allow them to perform comprehensive rock physics modeling tasks. Geoscientists with substantive rock physics knowledge will appreciate the flexibility and openness of iMOSS. The user can easily inspect every module and its contents and then build modeling tools for a specific project or for company wide use.
Workflow Driven
The rock modeling tools are flexible and can be executed alone or in combinations known as workflows. These workflows can be modified by users or created by individuals with rock physics modeling experience. Complex workflow templates capture years of Rock Physics knowledge and expertise. They allow the user to quickly explore many diverse scenarios and possibilities and can be shared with co-workers anywhere.
