Seismic data analysis is an essential component of energy exploration, but configuring complex processing workflows has traditionally been a time-consuming and error-prone challenge. Halliburton’s Seismic Engine, a cloud-native application for seismic data processing, is a powerful tool that previously required manual configuration of approximately 100 specialized tools to create workflows. This process was not only time-consuming but also required deep expertise, potentially limiting the accessibility and efficiency of the software. To address this challenge, Halliburton partnered with the AWS Generative AI Innovation Center to develop an AI-powered assistant for Seismic Engine. The solution uses Amazon Bedrock, Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Bases, Amazon Nova, and Amazon DynamoDB to transfor…
