Ava Clastics
Facilitating the effective application of analogue databases to reservoir models
Meet Ava® Clastics
Although it’s widely considered best practice to use analogue data in facies models, the process is time consuming, somewhat subjective, and highly variable depending on domain expertise.
Using our proprietary GeoCypher™ logic, a technology jointly developed with the University of Leeds, Ava Clastics analogue database and clastic sedimentology software transforms analogues into the parameters required for facies modelling algorithms, and delivers them directly to applications like Petrel* E&P software platform. We designed Ava Clastics to seamlessly inform reservoir models, so asset teams can quickly assess the impact of incorporating high-quality analogue information.

Save Time
Researching for publicly available analogues takes twice as long as it does to utilise the rich data contained within Ava Clastics. Additionally, the Ava Clastics' automated parameterisation workflow and the seamless integration with Petrel software platform improves efficiency and accuracy.
Increase Confidence
Generate more realistic volume distributions and improve well placement by incorporating analogues in your facies modelling workflow. With Ava Clastics, a geomodeller can easily test the validity of their facies modelling assumptions against analogues from a variety of databases covering a broad range of depositional systems.
Improve Consistency
Reservoir engineers are more quantitative. Geoscientists are more qualitative. Both need a common understanding of the subsurface. Ava Clastics provides a dedicated platform for geoscientists to showcase their Depositional Concepts while also transforming them into algorithms appropriate for engineers.
Transfer Knowledge
Systematically empower future generations of geologists by giving them access to the knowledge that only experience and domain expertise provides. Quickly incorporate company best practices and proprietary science in the static model by using Ava Clastics.
Databases
At the heart of Ava Clastics are a collection of world-class sedimentological analogue databases commercially offered by PDS Group, including FAKTS, SMAKS and soon, DMAKS. These databases, created by the University of Leeds, encapsulate many years of research and scientific rigour, and were created so geoscientists could rapidly incorporate and reference analogues in their workflows.
Ava Clastics makes them accessible and transforms the data into actionable insights.
