Paradigm(TM) Releases SKUA(TM) 2008 Geology-Driven Modeling Solution at EAGE 2008
Innovative 3D methodology enables next-generation, integrated modeling environment
ROME, June 10 -- Paradigm(TM) (www.pdgm.com ), a leading provider of enterprise software solutions to the global oil and natural gas exploration and production (E&P) industry, announced today the worldwide release of Paradigm SKUA(TM) 2008 at the European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers (EAGE) 70th Annual Conference and Exhibition in Rome, Italy. The next-generation software environment allows novice-to-advanced geoscience users to easily produce highly accurate and realistic models of the subsurface in record time through the use of a proprietary 3D methodology.
The new Paradigm SKUA 2008 is a 3D modeling software environment that bridges the gap between seismic and simulation by removing current modeling limitations. The software platform leverages the innovative SKUA(TM) (Subsurface Knowledge Unified Approach) methodology. Its unified approach produces superior modeling results and enables engineers and geoscientists to build simulation models that realistically reflect reservoir locations and properties.
"This groundbreaking software development exemplifies Paradigm's scientific contributions to subsurface modeling technology and our commitment to providing solutions that offer unconflicted vision," said John W. Gibson, Jr., chief executive officer of Paradigm.
The SKUA 2008 automated, easy-to-use workflows eliminate common user frustrations, reduce model construction time from days to hours, deliver greater accuracy, and allow for better history matching and production forecasts. The product complements the robust Paradigm solutions for subsurface disciplines across the entire exploration, development and production value chain.
"SKUA 2008 embeds a native, full 3D description of the model volumes that removes the limitations of conventional 'pillar-based' methodology. The product makes possible quality geomodeling that was previously unavailable," said Jean-Claude Dulac, executive vice president and chief architect at Paradigm. "SKUA will fundamentally change the way geoscientists model and quantify the subsurface for prospect evaluation or field development."
Reservoir Architecture is the first workflow solution available on the Paradigm SKUA 2008 environment. It guides interpreters, reservoir modelers and engineers through easy-to-use steps to rapidly construct accurate 3D models. The solution allows for model creation based on all available, relevant data, without exception, and every modeling decision is recorded for fast model updating and auditing.
