Mantis Geophysics — Web App Documentation

The Mantis web application provides a suite of tools for geophysical simulation and modelling. It combines a frequency-dependent and anisotropic rock physics modeller, a fluid substitution engine, an anisotropic Zoeppritz reflectivity explorer, and a 2D finite-difference seismic forward modelling engine — all accessible through a browser.

What you can do

  • Rock physics modelling — define in-situ conditions, run Gassmann fluid substitution, model fracture anisotropy (Hudson 1980) and frequency-dependent attenuation (Standard Linear Solid)
  • Reflectivity analysis — calculate halfspace reflection and transmission coefficients at any layer interface, including viscoelastic (frequency-dependent) and anisotropic media
  • 2D seismic forward modelling — submit finite-difference simulations on your 1D Earth model and download synthetic seismograms, wavefield snapshots, and run logs
  • Elastic tensor diagnostics — inspect and validate full anisotropic elastic tensors and compute slowness surfaces
  • Data file management — upload CSV and LAS files to import well log data into projects

Roadmap

Features currently in development:

  • 3D frequency-dependent, fully triclinic anisotropic seismic forward modelling engine
  • Viscoelastic phase/reflectivity seismic inversion
  • 2D and 3D visualisation tools for seismic attribute maps and well logs
  • Cross-plotting tool for viscoelastic and anisotropic attributes
  • Dry modulus modeller for clastic and carbonate rocks

Planned for a later release:

  • Geomechanical modeller coupled to the seismic forward modelling engine
  • Reservoir simulator coupled to the seismic forward modelling engine
  • North Sea and Norwegian Continental Shelf data access
