Paradigm Geolog 6.5 streamlines E&P workflow

Posted: 2 June 2003

The newest version of Geolog offers unrivalled functionality and interoperability

Paradigm, the premier provider of advanced petroleum geoscience and drilling technology to the oil and gas exploration and production industry, announces the release of the latest evolution of its industry-leading Geolog log management, correlation and petrophysics software solution.

The new release, Geolog 6.5, features a working environment aligned to oil company needs and practices, and delivers numerous functionality enhancements which help streamline the workflows of all users, from the occasional user to the expert.

Geolog 6.5 is the first application built on Paradigm’s new epos 3.0 data management and interoperability integration framework, which provides a common solution enabling users to move seamlessly between Paradigm products, and directly access proprietary and third-party data repositories.

epos 3.0 offers unrivalled interdisciplinary operability and enables use of the most powerful tools, regardless of where underlying data is physically stored.

In addition to a large number of enhancements enabled by its re-designed Graphical User Interface (GUI), Geolog 6.5 supports additional operating systems — 64-bit Solaris and IRIX and, for the first time, Linux — and delivers new high-end add-on modules for the specialist, such as the Geomage image log analysis module (now in full release), and the debut of Geolog Correlator, a powerful correlation tool for geologists.

Now released at production level, Geomage image preprocessing consists of modules to manipulate array data in various image formats, and convert these to Paradigm’s generic image format before further analysis, which includes automatic dip analysis, fracture detection and image texture classification.

Geomage currently handles the Halliburton EMI and Schlumberger FMS, FMI, OBMI and UBI image logs.

Geolog 6.5 also delivers many enhancements to Facimage, TotalFinaElf’s field-proven solution for electrofacies analysis.

These include a new model-building interface, which greatly reduces set-up time, and the addition of several new analysis methodologies.

Richard Pelling, Product Manager of Geolog, said, “Geolog has always had a reputation for flexibility and ease of use, but we have chosen not to rest on our laurels. In Geolog 6.5 we have totally revised the GUI, building on all the best features from earlier versions to produce something better than ever. Collaboration with selected customers throughout the development and testing process has played a major role in delivering the most advanced solution in the market, without compromising usability.”

Geolog 6.5 will be one of the featured solutions on display in Paradigm booth 201, at the EAGE conference in Stavanger, Norway, June 2-5.
