Hampson-Russell

Hampson-Russell Software provides leading edge reservoir characterization software. It’s recognised globally as having provided world class, easy-to-use reservoir characterization software since 1987. The Hampson-Russell software suite encompasses all aspects of seismic exploration and reservoir characterization, from AVO analysis and inversion, to 4D and multi-component analysis and interpretation.

At Hampson-Russell we run a university donation scheme. Over 100 academic institutions are signed up and we have donated more than 3,500 licenses. Participants in the AAPG Imperial Barrel Award contest are likely to have access to the software from their university; if not, we are happy to supply more licences:

More information on the available software modules can be found here.

To obtain a licence

Please contact with the following information:

  • The software modules required
  • The number of licences per module required
  • A host details form to be completed for each platform running the software. (Minimum and optimum recommended OS and hardware requirements available here.)
  • Name and contact details of the institute where the license will be installed.

We will then email you a software donation form to be signed and returned by the Professor at the University confirming that the software will only be used for non-commercial work.

The licence and software download information will then be emailed to you from our Calgary office.
