subsurfaceAI 2025.2 Release – Seamless Integration with Petrel and SeisWare

For years, one of the biggest challenges in subsurface work has been data silos between software platforms. Geoscientists and engineers often move back and forth between Petrel, SeisWare, and other specialized tools, losing time reconciling formats, reloading data, or recreating interpretations. These inefficiencies not only slow projects down but also introduce risk and inconsistency.

With the release of SubsurfaceAI 2025.2, that challenge is solved. This release makes seamless integration with Petrel and SeisWare a reality — providing smooth, bi-directional data flow that connects the industry’s most trusted platforms with SubsurfaceAI’s powerful AI-driven workflows.

The result: a unified interpretation and modeling environment where your team can spend less time on data wrangling and more time generating insights.

🔑 What’s New in SubsurfaceAI 2025.2

While SubsurfaceAI 2025.2 introduces several exciting new features, the headline story is integration. For the first time, users can connect SubsurfaceAI projects directly with both Petrel and SeisWare — two of the most widely used interpretation platforms in the industry.

1. Petrel Connectivity — Bi-Directional Data Exchange

2025.2 enables smooth data flow between Petrel and SubsurfaceAI. Teams can now:

  • One-click project data exchange between subsurfaceAI project and project for seismic volumes, horizons, faults, AI-generated labels, and wells data.
  • Start an interpretation in Petrel, enhance it with AI/ML workflows in SubsurfaceAI, and push the results back seamlessly.
  • Avoid duplicate effort and manual file conversions.

This integration ensures that interpreters and reservoir engineers working in Petrel gain full access to SubsurfaceAI’s AI capabilities — without disrupting established workflows.

2. SeisWare Interoperability — Expanded Capabilities

SeisWare has a strong presence among North American interpreters, particularly in Calgary and other regional markets. The last release of subsurfaceAI (2025.1) supports most objects in a SeisWare project. With 2025.2, subsurfaceAI support all SeisWare project objects that have API in the SeisWare development kit, the 2025.2 release includes what was left in the 2025.1 release,

  • Direct exchange of 2D seismic lines and horizon interpretations.
  • Smooth movement of projects between SeisWare and SubsurfaceAI.
  • A collaborative bridge where SeisWare users can adopt AI-assisted interpretation without leaving their familiar environment.

By connecting seamlessly to SeisWare, SubsurfaceAI provides smaller companies and regional interpreters with access to high-end AI/ML and visualization workflows that were once out of reach.

🧠 Supporting Advances: Smarter AI and Visualization

While connectivity is the core of this release, we’ve also made major strides in AI interpretation and next-generation visualization to ensure that the integrated workflows deliver maximum value.

  • AI Interpretation Enhancements
    • New facies and geobody workflows provide detailed geological insights directly from seismic.
    • Improved label management makes training datasets easier to create, edit, and version.
    • Expanded training options allow models to adapt to diverse datasets and geologies.
  • Visualization Improvements
    • Faster handling of massive seismic and well datasets, ensuring smooth navigation.
    • Richer display of logs, attributes, and interpretations.
    • More interactive 3D environments for exploring geobodies and stratigraphic detail.

These improvements ensure that once data flows into SubsurfaceAI from Petrel or SeisWare, teams can unlock its full value with AI and interactive visualization.

🌍 Why Integration Matters

Connectivity isn’t just a convenience — it’s a competitive advantage. Subsurface projects today are increasingly complex, requiring close collaboration between geophysicists, geologists, petrophysicists, and reservoir engineers. Yet too often, data and interpretations are locked in different software ecosystems.

SubsurfaceAI 2025.2 changes that dynamic:

  • Faster Collaboration – Teams can share interpretations across platforms without delay.
  • Reduced Risk – Consistency is maintained as data flows without manual re-entry.
  • More AI-Driven Insight – Petrel and SeisWare users gain immediate access to AI workflows without abandoning their existing tools.

For global operators and regional independents alike, this means better decisions, faster.

💡 Real-World Scenarios Enabled by 2025.2

  • Exploration Projects – Import regional seismic and well data from SeisWare, run AI facies workflows in SubsurfaceAI, then export refined interpretations back for structural mapping.
  • Development Studies – Move reservoir-scale interpretations from Petrel into SubsurfaceAI for AI-driven geobody extraction, then return results to Petrel for simulation workflows.
  • Production Optimization – Share tracer analysis and synthetic seismic modeling outputs across teams without worrying about format barriers.

In every case, the integration reduces friction and ensures data moves seamlessly through the workflow.

🔬 Breakthrough Modules

In addition to integration, 2025.2 introduces innovative modules that expand what’s possible:

  • Synthetic AI Labels – Generate high-quality training data when labeled datasets are scarce.
  • 4D Tracer Visualization – Explore dynamic flow behavior between wells through interactive time-lapse analysis.
  • Synthetic Seismic Modeling – Bridge the gap between reservoir static and dynamic simulations with seismic observations using rock physics.

These modules build on the foundation of connectivity, giving users advanced tools that enhance interpretation and reservoir management.

✨ A Step Toward a Unified Future

SubsurfaceAI’s vision has always been seismic-to-simulation integration. With 2025.2, we take a decisive step in that direction by removing the barriers between SubsurfaceAI, Petrel, and SeisWare.

By creating a bridge between platforms, we empower teams to:

  • Work Faster – No wasted effort duplicating data.
  • Work Smarter – Leverage AI on every dataset.
  • Work Together – Collaborate across disciplines and platforms seamlessly.

This release is more than software. It’s a redefinition of how subsurface professionals collaborate and interpret data.
