Conversions Workflow v2020 02 Flier

The Conversions & Uncertainties Workflow allows for thorough analysis of reservoir volumes and economic viability by quickly converting time to depth while accounting for uncertainties. It features a layer-cake approach, joint or sequential depth conversion, and integration of time, velocity, and fault position uncertainties. The workflow minimizes error propagation and ensures geology-compliant surfaces to better assess potential recoverable volumes and perform risk analysis.

Conversions & Uncertainties Workflow brings an innovation leap in time-to-depth conversion


allowing the most thorough analysis of reservoir volumes and for a better assessment of the economic
viability of your project.
Developed in partnership with industrial sponsors, this is the most modern and comprehensive conversion tool on
the market, with sophisticated new methodologies to deal with uncertainty propagation and a streamlined and
intuitive workflow that saves users a considerable amount of time in their projects.

KEY FEATURES Why Conversions & Uncertainties?


– Layer-cake approach – It is designed for the highest performance and ease of
– Sequential, joint or hybrid depth conversion use.
– Depth or velocity modeling – It is built around scenarios that form the back bone of

ENJOY THE EXPERIENCE OF AN INTUTIVE
SOFTWARE SOLUTION FOUNDED ON
SOLID SCIENCE
QUICKLY GET TO GRIPS WITH SOFTWARE’S USE
Enjoy a smart and streamlined workflow designed for an optimized way
to reservoir volumetrics. The workflow’s innovative user interface is
particularly intuitive. This makes data definition fast and simple.

ENJOY AN EXTREMELY FLEXIBLE TOOLKIT


Define well markers and seismic time horizons or velocity maps and run
conversion using depth modeling (direct conversion) or velocity
modeling (defining the velocity formula of your choice). Select the
approach: joint (a set of conformable surfaces are converted
simultaneously), sequential (one surface only is converted at a time), or
hybrid approach. The base algorithm involves Kriging with External Drift
and Factorial Kriging within their classical or Bayesian framework (which
enables fine trend control and benefits from prior knowledge of the trend
when well data is sparse).

EXPLORE MANY POSSIBLE CONVERSION SCENARIOS


Define several scenarios, run them all at once, and compare them for the
most efficient sensitivity analysis of the resulting morphology to input
data, computation methodology, and parameters. Create specific
scenarios for calibrating seismic depths to well depths.

BE SURE OF THE ESTIMATED DEPTH QUALITY


Quickly check the quality of the estimates through various cross-
plots and statistics. Cross-validation lets you compare the real marker
values with their estimated analogous to test which parameters might
prove better for your case-study. No need to wait for time-consuming
depth conversions to be aware of the expected quality of your model.

CONSIDER MULTIPLE SOURCES OF UNCERTAINTY


Define time uncertainty (possibly reflecting picking uncertainty or seismic
noise) and velocity uncertainty maps. Define pessimistic, mode and
optimistic scenarios of fault locations and standard reservoir
parameters (Gas Oil Contact, Oil Water Contact, Hydrocarbon Saturation,
Porosity, Net to Gross Ratio, Recovery Factor). Run conditional simulations
and get a full range of plausible depth realizations.

PERFORM THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE RISK ANALYSIS ON VOLUMES


From all depth realizations, the workflow automatically identifies spill
point locations, delineates potential reservoir traps and calculates the
probability maps to be inside or outside each trap. Then, considering the
reservoir parameters, the software delivers the pessimistic, mode and Fault Time horizon Geological
optimistic scenarios of the potential recoverable resource and the uncertainty uncertainty post-processing
Gross Rock Volumes of Oil Zone, Gas Zone and Above Spill Point Zone.

Conversions & Uncertainties Workflow is available into the Petroleum Edition of Isatis.neo, Geovariances brand new
software solution in geostatistics tailored for the upstream Oil & Gas industry.
