geoSCOUT vs. Oasis montaj

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.

As I mention throughout the review, Oasis montaj shines both for processing and visualizing data while working with gravimetric data . It's 2D and 3D geologic basement models can be really detailed and, depending on the interpreter, can be really accurate. Plus, they can serve as an excellent tool for oil exploration when integrating them with seismic and well log information. Since it is an expensive software, small companies or universities with low budgets would be better using other programming tools.

Incentivized

• Well ticket information.
• Spatial analysis.
• Query effectiveness.

Incentivized

• Geological basement modeling both in 2D and in 3D.
• Processing and quality control on geophysical, geochemical and geological data.
• Data both in the database or uploaded is provided through a spreadsheet and an integrated profile display window, so it is extremely easy to visualize the information or modify it.

Incentivized

• Cross sections are not always that visually appealing. Cross sections from Petrel look much better.

Incentivized

• The learning curve can be a little steep at first.
• It is an expensive software, so there are several alternative options that require more programming but are cheaper or free.
• It requires lots of processing power for it to work smoothly.

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.

• Allowed for efficient information gathering thereby decreasing turnaround time on projects.
• Helpful for competitor analysis.

Incentivized

• Using oasis montaj allowed to work on several projects for gravimetric data interpretation that represented a great profit for our business.
• Oasis was an excellent learning tool that brought profit to our university since all the work we did were actual problems that when solved generated profit for the faculty
