The latest news from Eliis !
PaleoScan™ 2025.0 Now Available
Even More Innovation for Transforming Seismic Data into Geological Insight
Our ambition
Eliis offers solutions to analyze, characterize and model, from 2D and 3D seismic images, the different subsurface layers. The rigorous study of geological strata promotes the high-resolution detection of fossil reservoirs.
Over the years, Eliis has grown to become a world-renowned within the applied geophysics field and is now developing its competences in deep faults exploration for low-carbon and new energy exploration such as geothermal energy and underground storage.

Innovative Technology
We design and deliver to the energy industry innovative software solutions in seismic interpretation. We bring comprehensive approaches to push back the limits of interpretation and to help geoscientists better understand the geology of their seismic dataset.
Comprehensive Approach
With PaleoScan™, the earth model is built while interpreting the seismic volume in a fully integrated 3D environment. It offers a complete range of tools and applications to work at exploration or development scale with an unprecedented level of resolution. Result are used for stratigraphic, structural and quantitative interpretation, from exploration to reservoir characterization.
Excellent Support
Our Geoscience and IT teams based in Montpellier, France and in Houston, Texas have an extensive experience in seismic interpretation in various regions of the world. They respond quickly to all requests and provide a full assistance for every software and patch release. They are also available for on-site support and consulting services.

PaleoScan is not the type of tool that interpreters should use as an add-on to more classical interpretation systems. Don’t do that – rather, establish a culture of excellence in PaleoScan workflows. Should this goal become aspirational, you will find that it will become the perfect focal point for a smooth and thorough integration of the many disciplines that combine to make successful exploration, development, production or CCS projects. It is the perfect tool for multi-disciplinary teams.

In my view, PaleoScan’s main strengths is its ability to allow the interpreter to review the whole volume and maximise the value of your dataset. The interactive navigation allows you to interpret a 3D in a 3D sense. The speed at which you can interpret a dataset is also a great asset when you are in an assurance role!
Both the speed and interactiveness of PaleoScan has greatly improved my workflow.
By using the model grid and generating horizon stacks I have cut the time needed to interpret a volume by about 80%.
I would highly recommend Paleoscan to any seismic interpreter, so that they can improve their workflows and maximise what they extract from their datasets.

It reduces time-cycles dramatically. PaleoScan™ is a very powerful screening tool, to quickly have an overview of what can be found in the seismic data. With that initial screening you can go back to your interpretations and adjust the geomodel accordingly . This iterative step is very quick and convenient and provides with more solid than most geomodels of the seismic stratigraphic packages. The horizon stacks helped us to delineate seismic geomorphological features, investigate them and extract them as geobodies in little time.
The user friendliness of the software and it's the lightweight environment are very inviting to new users, and therefore it doesn't take weeks to learn the program, more like a day. But most of all the reduced time-cycles when scanning seismic packages with the horizonstacks is a big step forward.
