Paradigm to Showcase New Technologies at SPE 2009 ATCE
Higher Order Workflow demonstrations to feature latest geological applications.
"The SPE ATCE provides an excellent venue for Paradigm to actively engage with top reservoir and drilling engineering professionals," said James Lamb, Paradigm executive vice president for the Americas. "Our goal is to connect with users, listen to their needs, and provide insight into faster, more effective methods of hydrocarbon detection and qualification."
At SPE, Paradigm will showcase Paradigm Rock & Fluid Canvas 2009 | Epos 4.0, highlighting advances in reservoir characterization, geologic modeling, petrophysics, geosteering, drilling, well testing, formation evaluation, upscaling, and reservoir uncertainty. Paradigm will also feature history matching workflows in partnership with Streamsim Technologies, Inc. Streamsim will demonstrate its history-matching module that connects to the Paradigm GOCAD and Paradigm SKUA applications. Using the open architecture of the GOCAD/SKUA technology, oil companies can now close the loop between the reservoir engineer and geologist to efficiently provide geologically consistent models that enable more reliable production forecasts and oil-in-place estimates. Allowing deep access to core functionalities of GOCAD/SKUA reservoir modeling enables integration not available in other industry modeling systems.
"By integrating with the GOCAD/SKUA architecture, Streamsim is able to efficiently leverage its expertise in streamline-based fluid flow simulation to create geologically consistent history-matched models that reservoir engineers can then use with confidence for optimal field management decisions," said Streamsim President, Marco Thiele.
The Paradigm technical program also will demonstrate Paradigm Higher Order Workflow (H.O.W.) presentations on the Rock & Fluid Canvas 2009 | Epos 4.0 software suite, connecting formation evaluation, well planning, and uncertainty assessment with the latest geosteering and reservoir modeling technologies. H.O.W. presentations will include:
- The continuum of applications on Rock & Fluid Canvas 2009, demonstrating the seamless integration of seismic geologic and petrophysical interpretation with reservoir modeling and flow simulation.
- The integration of geological, petrophysical, and geophysical information for reservoir characterization.
- Reservoir uncertainty assessment and history-matching techniques for the benefit of optimized reservoir management.
- The integration and implementation of structural, stratigraphic and petrophysical modeling and drilling technology to improve drilling performance.
