Petrosys 16.8 Improves Interactive Interpretation Links and Surface Model Automation.
Petrosys is launching version 16.8 of its petroleum EP mapping and data management software at the EAGE conference in Barcelona this week.
This first major Petrosys release for 2010 adds the ability to directly display interpreted faults, seismic times and other attributes from a range of interpretation workstations on the presentation-quality Petrosys map canvas. The new integrated seismic and fault posting options simplify and speed up workflows in which geoscientists can overlay information from a wide range of data sources at various steps between the raw interpretation and a depth tied gross rock volume.
For the serious surface modeller as well as for application in reservoir management workflows, Petrosys 16.8 surface modeling task lists now support more advanced arithmetic formulae with conditional statements, as well as the ability to create and publish maps from within a surface modeling task. The extensions make it easier to run through multiple scenarios, such as in velocity modeling, and for the routine creation and update of collections of maps and surface modelled data.
To add a fresh touch to the user interface, Petrosys has also rolled out a completely new icon set, providing a hint of more dramatic user interface enhancements to be introduced later in the year.
Speaking at the product launch in Barcelona, Petrosys Managing Director Volker Hirsinger said this release was a response to client requests from both the SME and super-major ends of Petrosys’ global client base:
“Geoscientists connecting from Petrosys to seismic workstations to access our superior surface modeling have been asking us to let them post seismic times and ribbon maps from the live link without replication in a project store,” he said. “With 16.8, we have not only given them that but also integrated a range of previous options into consistent seismic and fault mapping tools with one very short learning curve.”
Mr. Hirsinger added that enhancement of the surface modeling workflows was being carefully targeted as Petrosys reached a very diverse user base:
“There are still many large companies running legacy workflows in FORTRAN applications for which the expertise is progressively disappearing,” he said. “Our task lists need to cater both for the enhancement of these expert scripted processes as well to bring advanced surface modeling within the reach of the new geoscientist. We are putting a lot of time into debating the right blend of user interface to achieve this and have carefully selected the functionality included in 16.8 to promote compatibility with future enhancements.”
Petrosys version 16.8 is available from June 25th for all Petrosys clients who have a current maintenance agreement.
