Formation evaluation is used in the exploration, production, and development phases of the value chain to determine whether a potential oil and/or gas field is commercially viable. Tools such as wireline/well logs, well tests, and core samplers — used to detect oil and gas — return a myriad of data, including porosity, radioactivity, permeability, sonic velocity, bulk density, resistivity, etc., that are used to determine the economics of a reservoir. Paradigm provides the platform and integrated suite of applications needed to transform wellbore data into answers needed for governing reservoir management programs and optimizing hydrocarbon recovery.
