Novva

Our Novva software is a unique and powerful tool for geological investigation and integration. No other 1D modeling software can compare with its technical completeness, multiple options, and built-in aids for modelers. Its interview format allows even inexperienced or occasional users to build sophisticated, high-quality models, and to make new discoveries about the geological history while constructing those models. In addition, Novva offers the largest library available of source-rock kinetics for modeling hydrocarbon generation and cracking, as well as numerous options of graphical output of modeling results.

Novva models burial and thermal history, as well as maturity and hydrocarbon generation, in ways similar to other 1D modeling software. However, Novva establishes and achieves three major additional objectives that make it the tool of choice for 1D modeling, and for enhancing geologic understanding and generating new exploration ideas.

• Novva’s unique interview format guides the user through the model-building and optimization process. Default values are provided for most required data (e.g., lithologies and their properties, compaction methods, correction of downhole temperatures, kerogen kinetics), and clear explanations (with references) are given for all aspects of the model-building process. This comprehensiveness and flexibility offer the user a wide range of options for solving most modeling problems.
• Novva relieves modelers of many tedious and difficult burdens by performing automatic correction of downhole temperature data, and automatic optimization of porosity and present-day temperatures. Modeling thus becomes much faster and easier, and the results are more consistent.
