UncerTZ

Geovariances has already relevant experience in building Time to Depth conversion software, in particular with Isatoil development, but this new potential tool will far exceed the former package. In fact, the new tool that will derive from the UncerTZ research will present several unheard features in any of the software packages currently available on the market. Our aim is to offer scientific and technical innovation in the field of reservoir modeling embedded in an easy-to-use software package.

TRANSFORM SCIENCE COMPLEXITY INTO EASY-TO-USE APPLICATION

For the purpose, Geovariances assembled a team of developers and scientists and brought Mines ParisTech to the consortium, gaining the necessary Research and Development capability that would enable us to get to the point where we are today. We have met experts in reservoir characterization and geophysics, debated with our Consortium partners and, point by point, decided which methodologies and what parameters a user would need to have full control of for the Time to Depth conversion procedure. From the list that came out of those deliberations, we had to think of a way of transforming the complexity of the science into an easy to use toolbox which enables the user to fully build a scenario for Time to Depth conversion in mere minutes. And re-use it. And edit it. And fine tune it. And document it.

This is achieved by a shift in paradigm in software usability. We started playing with the idea that perhaps most things could be done automatically. And the user should only spend time in fine tuning the parameters that are of interest for its study. So, we came up with this crazy idea. You select the seismic surface interpretations to convert to depth and our tool will automatically compute the defaults and make the process ready to run. If you do not agree with the default settings, no worries, you will still have full control of the parameters.
