Paradigm is an oil and gas oriented exploration and seismic analytics platform, now owned and supported by Emerson since the 2018 acquisition.
This solution is an effective tool and the must platform for the Engineers working on multiple Civil Engineering projects since it allows easy access to all documents and other important information across all the Civil Engineering and Construction projects. The scheduling, easy activity tracking, and project expense and equipment management, AVEVA Engineering provides effective functionalities.
The Paradigm geologic and petrophysical interpretation software suite offers a complete package for integrated projects where a team starts from offset well data and leads all the way to mapping of horizons, properties and reservoir models. Geolog, the petrophysical module, is very powerful and versatile. Although they offer separate add-ons, for smaller projects where the petrophysical interpretation is done by a third-party, even the minimum package might be overkill.
Geolog is extremely robust and powerful in handling large volumes of logs per well and a large number of wells, which is an asset for basin-scale projects.
Geolog is very flexible in terms of customizing log layout presentations and calculating anything via mathematical or logical expressions.
Epos display of fluid production data is very useful in cross-analyzing maturity and organic content versus hydrocarbons produced.
Geolog could use a LAS batch loading graphical interface that doesn't require the use of prompt commands.
Geolog's geologic intervals display has improved in the last versions, but it's still cumbersome to set up and maintain (i.e. adding new intervals, changing stratigraphy).
SKUA-Paradigm should support geographic coordinates in order to avoid the workaround of creating pseudo-coordinates across UTM zone boundaries.
The AVEVA Engineering Civil Engineering services quality and quick creation of multiple Engineering plans and other files are easy and even editing of drawings is effective. AVEVA Engineering tools were very easy to custom and they help create excellent Engineering and Construction reports and the best data analytics generation and are easy to coordinate through AVEVA Engineering functions.
Regarding the petrophysical modules, I have used other petrophysical software packages, and Paradigm is superior in data handling, visualization, flexibility, and batch calculations. Regarding the mapping and modeling, Paradigm is on par with other software I used on the same scale. SKUA-Gocad has some advantages over its main competitor, in terms of data manipulation, but the inability to handle geographic coordinates has a negative impact on my work efficiency.
Paradigm Geolog has allowed us to handle the vast quantities of well log data in order to achieve our research goals and deliver the results to the sponsoring companies.
Paradigm Epos and SKUA-GOCAD have made possible to map the results of our petrophysical analysis on a basin-wide scale encompassing two provinces, without which our research deliverables would not have been possible.
