Robust Geological and Petrophysical Interpretation Suite
Pros
- 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.
Cons
- 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.
Return on Investment
- 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.
