Overall Satisfaction with geoSCOUT

We use geoSCOUT for production analysis of third party production, to help create type curves assist in A&D valuations, understand completion trends, and investigate facility infrastructure in order to understand development implications. We also use mapping functions to help coordinate development planning and help define our undeveloped reserves. Our geology team uses the tool for strip logs, tops, and exploration functions.
  • Production Analysis tool is strong for quick decline work
  • Annotations functionality helps with defining potential projects
  • Export tools are useful in quickly dumping out raw data for analysis
  • Looking at large scale projects (ie province wide) is very cumbersome
  • Pipeline mapping can be complicated
  • Including salivate imagery would be useful
  • It has allowed us to put together visually friendly presentations.
  • The information pulled from geoSCOUT helps us to understand competitor production in our areas.
  • The strip log tool has been useful in understanding how other companies have performed operations.
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.
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.
