Field Analysis Reimagined: Streamlining Petroleum System Understanding Through Integrated Insights

The Challenge: Piecing Together the Petroleum Puzzle 

Understanding an entire petroleum system for a play is no small feat. It requires the integration of vast amounts of data - often scattered across departments, stored in different formats, and collected at varying times and with variable quality levels. The process of gathering, quality-checking, and interpreting this data is not only time-consuming but also prone to inconsistencies. Moreover, mapping and analyzing the spatial relationships that define the distribution, quality, and quantity of each element of the petroleum system, source, reservoir and seal, adds another layer of complexity. Even more so where you have multiple zones that might fit the play criteria. 

Our Solution: A Unified, Dynamic Approach to Field Analysis 

To overcome these challenges, IC offers a solution that brings clarity and cohesion to any exploration or near-field analysis. By integrating maps with a variety of data displays, we enable users to present each zone of interest within the petroleum system in a more holistic and meaningful way. 

This approach allows for:

• Well data driven generation of 2D grids for each play, highlighting key information and quickly identifying areas (bullseyes) that require further quality control and possible reinterpretation. 

• Live access to all displayed data during collaborative discussions, with the ability to instantly reflect the impact of any re-evaluations or petrophysical updates in any well for any element in the petroleum system. 

• Seamless integration of text, images, analytical results, external reports, and multiple interpretations, all within a single, comprehensive review package. 

• Detailed depth or age correlations allow for well to well comparisons and further, iterative interpretation and data QC to ensure high confidence in data being mapped. 

• Ranking of areas on your map that fit your specific criteria of a possible “sweet spot” for each element and then overlay them to identify areas with a high to low potential for a working petroleum system, even in complex structural or stratigraphic areas. 

From Fragmented Data to Focused Insight 

This integrated workflow transforms field analysis from a fragmented, manual process into a streamlined, interactive experience. Teams can now explore the petroleum system with greater clarity, make faster and more confident decisions, and ensure that every piece of data contributes to a complete and accurate understanding of the subsurface.
