“Every algorithm is peer-reviewed. Every result is reproducible.”

Our science team publishes benchmark comparisons against the Sleipner, Northern Lights, and Quest datasets. All source code paths are traceable to the specific equation and paper from which they were derived. Regulators and operators can audit the full computation chain at any time.

Pipeline Integration

The CCS Module Plugs Directly into the Seismic Swift Pipeline

No separate CCS tool to maintain, license, or reconcile. The compliance engine is a first-class stage in the same pipeline that processes your seismic data — sharing the same provenance, same audit trail, same OSDU records.

Step 01
Upload

SEG-Y upload with streaming SHA-256 verification. Handles 50GB+ volumes peak <100MB RAM.

Step 02
Denoise

U-Net denoising (Ronneberger 2015) removes acquisition noise before CCS analysis.

Step 03
CCS Analysis
CCS

All 10 CCS science modules run in sequence. Mass balance, saturation maps, risk matrix, regulatory evidence package.

Step 04
HITL Review

Geoscientist sign-off on automated results before report filing. Dual-control approval for critical corrections.

Step 05
Report

Clause-referenced regulatory reports in PDF, LAS, GeoTIFF, or SEG-Y. Published to OSDU R3.

Shared Audit Trail

Every CCS computation shares the same immutable SHA-256 audit chain as the rest of the pipeline. One record per job, forever.

OSDU R3 Publication

Mass balance results, saturation maps, and risk assessments are published directly as OSDU SeismicTraceData and WorkProduct records.

API-First

Trigger CCS analysis programmatically via the REST API. Integrate with your existing data management and ERP systems.

Why Operators Choose Us

Replace Your Compliance Spreadsheets

Every VP Sustainability we speak to has the same problem: compliance evidence lives in spreadsheets built by individuals who have since left the company. Seismic Swift replaces that institutional risk with a reproducible, automated, auditable platform.

From 3 months to 3 hours

A typical EPA Class VI annual report requires 8–12 weeks of data assembly by a team of 3–5 geoscientists. Seismic Swift generates a draft-ready compliance package in under 3 hours from raw SEG-Y input.

Regulator-ready evidence packages

Every report includes clause-referenced citations (e.g., "Per 40 CFR 146.93(c): plume boundary confirmed within AOR at epoch T+12m"). No manual annotation. No missed articles.

Multi-jurisdictional in one run

Projects spanning US and EU jurisdictions (e.g., offshore CCS under both EPA and EU CCS Directive) generate parallel reports in a single pipeline execution. No double-handling.

OSDU-native storage

All results — saturation maps, risk matrices, mass balance logs — are stored as versioned OSDU R3 records with immutable provenance. Queryable via OSDU Search API for auditor access.
