As we develop and deliver digital
subsurface asset management software we describe
the underlying technology being "next
generation." What does that mean
to our customers?
In one way, our customers have
defined it. We hear customers say Paradigm
software such as SKUA and CRAM3D is 2, 3 and
sometimes 5 years ahead of anything available
today. Evidence lies in customer wins and in
excitement around the speed and accuracy of SKUA
or in the fidelity of illumination CRAM3D
delivers. Next generation for Paradigm is
hearing our enterprise customers "cry tears of
joy" at early reviews of EPOS4
capability.
Next
Generation is rooted in terms of our
technology, our approach, and strategy. It
is our unconflicted approach, our singular
focus on software innovation, breadth and depth,
and our strategic consulting leadership - unlike
all others. Next generation Paradigm technology is
commercializing leading science that is one
or more generations of innovation ahead of current
technology in use today. It is our strategy and
motivation to consistently delight customers by
delivering substantive and surprising value
in the form of integrated high-performance
solutions.
When asked what next generation
means, for us it's more than just the next
release. It is our approach, technology
innovation, and customer-centric
strategy.

Towards a Uniform
Subsurface Illumination - The next generation of
ray-based imaging
Imagine a ray-based imaging
application that maintains all of the flexibility
of the Kirchhoff migration while inheriting the
desirable properties of the full wave solutions.
Paradigm has captured a new perspective on
ray-based imaging and implemented it as a solution
that can be applied to a broad range of
exploration and development imaging objectives.
Referred to as the Common Reflection Angle

Paradigm Geolog 6.7 represents a
significant evolution of Geolog which delivers
numerous functionality enhancements to help
streamline the workflows of all users, from
occasional user to the expert. During roadshows
introducing Geolog 6.7 we were heartened by the
positive reaction from our current users and the
feedback received from potential future
users.
With a revised user interface
optimized to ease data selection and display,
Geolog 6.7 enhances productivity by reducing time
spent on individual tasks without compromising the
integrity of the overall analysis. For example,
users can now interactively select zones for
processing or transform a display showing multiple
zones into a series of plots representing each
zone with a single mouse-click - tasks which took
tens of minutes to perform in the past can now
done in seconds.

Module
Combiner
(click to
maximize) | We
have added new workflow capture tools like the
Loglan module combiner which allows users to chain
Geolog modules without the need for user coding,
and the macro recorder which enables recording and
playback of a series of operations - graphical or
analytical - that the user performs. During macro
recording, text captions can be inserted in a
workflow as required making this a powerful tool
for knowledge transfer.
Many of the advanced Geolog
modules, such as Geomage, feature significant
upgrades in Geolog 6.7. Geolog Geosteer
benefits from the addition of direct import of
surfaces from external models into a local
fit-for-purpose geosteering model which allows the
geosteering property curtain to be remodeled as
required without time consuming import / export.
This local model can also serve as an aid to
correlation in new wells in the Geolog Correlator
module, which now features the ability to
automatically partition wells based on calculated
turnpoints allowing correlation of complex
high-angle / horizontal wells.
Geolog 6.7 is available for
download on the customer hub.
We will be holding Geolog User
Group meetings in Asia-Pacific, Europe-Africa and
USA regions this quarter and we hope to see some
of you at these events where we will be glad to
demonstrate the new release and keen to receive
your feedback. See the Region update section for
information on these events.

Common Reflection
Angle
Illumination |
... this new pre-stack depth
migration seeks a uniform illumination of the
subsurface by performing a dense ray tracing
from every image point up to the surface.
These rays are traced
in uniform angle increments and in all directions
to ensure that all arrivals are taken into account
and all amplitudes and phases are preserved.
This "bottom" up
ray tracing approach is performed in the "local
angle domain" providing the engine and local
reference system to map surface recorded seismic
data to each image
point.
The Common
Reflection Angle Migration was designed to
supplement the current set of imaging tools
available to geophysicists who are frequently
challenged with matching imaging algorithm and
methodology to the exploration objective. Through
its implementation and imaging integrity, this new
migration is ideally suited for exploration and
development programs that require a detailed
velocity determination, a target-oriented high
resolution image, a quality reservoir property
extraction, or simply for extracting better image
quality from areas with complex geology and
velocity distributions. Additionally, the
migration can be applied to all types of isotropic
and anisotropic velocity models and is adaptable
to the full range of onshore and offshore
acquisitions including ocean bottom seismic
surveys.
Finally, the Common Reflection Angle
migration provides the foundation for a new range
of data transformations that deal with the broader
issues of rich-azimuth acquisitions. It is just
the beginning of a remarkable new perspective on
seismic
imaging. |

Continuación: Entrevista a Diego Díaz
Peralta
¿Hace cuánto tiempo estás en
Paradigm?
Me uní a
Paradigm hace casi un año atrás, lo que significó
un gran cambio para mi ya que toda mi carrera se
desarrolló desde el otro lado del
tablero.
¿Qué tipo de
experiencia te ha ayudado a entender mejor al
cliente?
Durante muchos años fui el cliente
que contrataba el tipo de servicios que estoy
ofreciendo hoy. Básicamente, pienso que es fácil
para mi entender las necesidades del cliente en un
sentido amplio porque conozco muy bien los
procesos internos dentro de las compañías de
E&P, mucho más allá de los temas
meramente técnicos. Algunas veces, esto me permite
guiar al cliente en cómo manejar un proyecto
integrado de una mejor manera, facilitando ese
proceso de decisión.
Actualmente, mi posición requiere un profundo
entendimiento de toda la tecnología que está
siendo desarrollada en Paradigm y es muy útil
combinarla para poder construir una solución
ajustada para cada necesidad en
particular.
¿Qué es lo que disfrutas
hacer en tu tiempo libre?
Tengo tres hijos pequeños y el
cuarto está llegando a finales de éste año. Uso mi
tiempo libre para jugar con ellos y disfrutar sus
observaciones ingeniosas y divertidas. Sin duda,
es más gratificante de lo que han sido mis últimos
2 o 3 juegos de golf. |
|
De sus numerosas visitas
al cliente, ¿qué proyecto/ liderazgo de equipo o
manejo de activos te han mantenido despierto
durante las noches?
El petróleo y gas "fácil" ha desaparecido. Recuperar y
encontrar nuevas reservas se está convirtiendo en
una tarea cada vez más compleja y riesgosa.
Demanda continuamente nuevas tecnologías y miradas
frescas. Esto implica recursos más experimentados
enfocados en un análisis detallado del
tiempo-consumo. Esta es la primera parte del
problema: hoy en día, comparado a su demanda, hay
una escasez de personas experimentadas disponibles
en el mercado. La segunda parte es que la
complejidad hace el proceso de decisión más
difícil. Se requiere un manejo integrado de
incertidumbres, desde el riesgo geológico hasta el
análisis económico del escenario, para poder
realizar los movimientos necesarios para alcanzar
las ganancias deseadas.
¿Cuál
es su lugar preferido para viajar dentro de
América Latina?
En general, me gusta viajar, visitar
diferentes lugares y conocer su gente. Disfruto
mucho probando los platos típicos de cada lugar
que visito. América Latina es muy amplia en este
sentido.
¡Estoy esperando mi nuevo destino
para probar algo nuevo! |
