'Concept uncertainty and constraints in the interpretation of geological data' 
The Odin project investigated how people use their ‘prior knowledge’ and concepts to interpret data. The 18 month research project, completed in collaboration with the University of Glasgow, defined the range of interpretations to a single seismic section. Seismic data is inherently fuzzy, due to the limited resolution of sub-surface seismic imaging, making it an ideal data source for assessing variations in the interpretation of equivocal data. Seismic data is used to predict the location and extent of oil and gas reservoirs and the implications of differing interpretations could have a large impact on predicted reservoir productivity - $! The research defined the conceptual uncertainty space for the seimsic data set and resulted in development of workflows to minimise the impacts of structural uncertainty.  Midland Valley are using the research to aid workflow design in its new software 4DMove and have developed a two day Structural Uncertainty Training and Analysis Workshop based on the research.
