"Russian
hour"

Paradigm
continues to demonstrate its international
approach to reaching global customers.
A number of presentations were shared in Russian
(both PowerPoint slides and speaking language) to
welcome and best communicate to overflow visitors
in the audience from that region attending
EAGE.
All in all, meeting with our
friends and strengthening Paradigm customer
relationships at EAGE produced the best EAGE ever
for our community and was truly an outstanding
event for everyone.
We'll see you next year at EAGE
2009 in Amsterdam! |

Correct
Geostatistical Continuity
in Paradigm SKUA™
2008. |
Paradigm SKUA™ 2008 is an
advanced 3D modeling environment that empowers
novice-to-advanced geoscience users to easily
produce highly accurate and realistic models in
record time.
Unlike conventional linear
approaches, the SKUA unified approach makes
possible the simultaneous construction of faulted
volumes, horizons and 3d grids. The automation
(unified approach) of these processes enables
rapid updateability which dramatically reduces
cycle time - from weeks or months to
hours.
All levels of
structural and stratigraphic complexity can be
modeled with high levels of accuracy. The reservoir engineer can quickly,
seamlessly and easily link back from simulation to
the static model, using all available, relevant
data.
Better models
enable better history matching and ultimately
better production forecasts.
For more
information on the technology behind the software,

Dulac, EVP and Chief Architect at
Paradigm. |
