Likelihood to Recommend There are really only 2 tools in industry that have the function of geoSCOUT (the other being Accumap.) Both are similar. I'd recommend geoSCOUT for project/area specific work. I'd recommend Accumap for start-up companies who are trying to establish their 'playground' as it's easier to navigate province wide assets, whereas new maps are required for geoSCOUT.
Read full review I have only used it for exploration projects but understand that with additional modules (such as pit design and production rates) it can be used for production schedules too. The software acts as a central interface for all of the drilling data from the borehole trace with customisable graphics or traces alongside (e.g.: geology, mag sus, assay results, struc info, etc) to the exporting of sections for field interp or planning; and resource block modeling.
Read full review Pros Well ticket information. Spatial analysis. Query effectiveness. Read full review Sections Tracing borehole logs with graphically presented data Linking/mapping of data sets Read full review Cons Cross sections are not always that visually appealing. Cross sections from Petrel look much better. Read full review Interface is good, but could always be improved Occasionally a little buggy when mapping DBs Extensive additional module list; can customise experience and therefore cost but some would expect certain features as standard Read full review Alternatives Considered Accumap is also a similar tool. The two tools contain the same information, although geoSCOUT has extra modules which have been somewhat useful. For the most part, engineers pull raw production, completions and facilities data. geoSCOUT is better for visualizing plans and allowing toggling of different considerations using the layer manager.
Read full review Lower cost and more user-friendly. My understanding is that the functionality is somewhat more limited but for our use in exploration it does the job and does it very well.
Read full review Return on Investment Allowed for efficient information gathering thereby decreasing turnaround time on projects. Helpful for competitor analysis. Read full review Saved consultancy fees in interp and modelling. Field-based interp made easier with fast and accurate section drawing. Central interface for all data. Read full review ScreenShots
