Paradigm displays workflow efficiencies at SPG Hyderabad
Posted: 18 January 2004
The new epos 3.0 integration framework supports highly
integrated geoscience solutions, including advanced Geosteering
capabilities
Paradigm, the premier provider of advanced petroleum geoscience
and drilling technology to the oil and gas exploration and production
industry, showed its next-generation software solutions, running
on the new epos 3.0 data management and interoperability integration
framework, at the SPG Exhibition in Hyderabad, India, January 15-17,
2004.
Based on state-of-the-art technologies, the epos 3.0 integration
framework provides unprecedented workflow efficiencies and enhanced
personal productivity through comprehensive product integration
and advanced data management and interoperability capabilities,
throughout the E&P process.
All of the workflows shown by Paradigm at SPG will run on epos
3.0, and Paradigm invites its customers to come for a firsthand
look at the eXtra Value to be gained from this unique operating
environment.
One of the recent successes in the Indian E&P industry has
been the completion of a “real-time operations” pilot
project by ONGC, India's National Oil Company.
In the project, LWD (Logging While Drilling) Geosteering data of
Halliburton’s Sperry-Sun toll was streamed in real time from
an offshore rig in the Mumbai High North field, to ONGC’s
Third Eye Center (TEC) 3D Immersive Visualization at Vasudhara Bhavan,
Mumbai. The Real Time Operation (RTO) of well data through the WITSML
link, and its display in a 3D immersive visualization environment
were enabled through Paradigm’s industry-leading visualization
and interpretation solutions. This was the first successful implementation
of WITSML 1.2 using the Paradigm Geolog® geosteering module.
Kharak Singh, Executive Director-Mumbai High, ONGC, said, “Paradigm’s
entire suite of interpretation and visualization solutions involving
geological model building, visualization of rock and fluid properties
is being used at the TEC by all the producing assets of offshore
Western India. Refinement of existing reservoir models through immersive
volume visualization, and the design of high tech wells being drilled
under the ongoing re-development of the Mumbai High field, one of
India’s largest and most strategic producing oilfields, is
being done by the geoscientists and engineers here in a collaborative
environment. Paradigm’s solutions are enabling comprehensive
visualization of well paths, well logs, fault framework and other
relevant information. This integrated approach is helping to drill
healthy, infill high-tech wells for improved oil recovery.”
The co-visualization, in a single frame, of static property derived
from seismic, well log and core, and a dynamic property like hydrocarbon
saturation through reservoir simulation, is a unique utility developed
by Paradigm with the active participation of ONGC at TEC, Mumbai.
Andy Furniss, Paradigm Technology Director for Asia Pacific, added,
“Paradigm’s fully integrated geoscience solutions and
Trace-to-Target workflows are bridging the gap between Geoscientists
and both Reservoir and Drilling Engineers, and enabling the type
of multi-disciplinary collaboration we’ve enjoyed with the
professionals at ONGC. Our cutting edge technologies enable such
collaboration across the entire E&P workflow, answering an increasingly
important requirement in today's consolidating industry.”
Paradigm runs a large seismic data processing center in Mumbai,
with state-of-the-art computing technology that includes several
hundred CPUs (Origin 3000, IBM Linux Clusters and IBM Blade Servers)
and multi-terabytes of disc space (Fast 900).
Eldad Weiss, CEO of the Paradigm Group, gave the keynote address
at SPG. Held on Saturday, Jan 17, at 10:50 AM. Mr. Weiss discussed,
“Emerging Trends in the Exploration & Production of Hydrocarbons.”
