Prism Seismic principals are committed to advancing the field of seismically driven reservoir modeling by extracting the geologic value and information contained in the seismic data. After spending millions of dollars acquiring seismic data, it is very common to find E&P companies limiting their use of this seismic data to structural interpretation while ignoring the wealth of reservoir information contained in the data. Prism Seismic, through its consulting services, provides a simple way for companies to benefit from Prism Seismic technologies and to maximize the value contained in their seismic data. Prism Seismic's efforts are also focused on putting state of the art reservoir modeling technologies in the hands of geoscientists by providing software solutions that can be used either by Prism Seismic consultants or by any company involved in oil & gas exploration and development. Prism Seismic developed CRYSTAL and REFRACT, two revolutionary software that allow the geoscientist to reach an understanding of his reservoir never before achieved. CRYSTAL provides the next generation of seismic and geologic modeling technologies that go beyond anything currently available in the E&P industry. CRYSTAL provides in a single environment the tools necessary to improve the seismic resolution, to run volumetric curvature to image all the faults, run deterministic and stochastic inversions, apply spectral imaging to image lithology and hydrocrabons, build complex structural frameworks, generate reservoir properties using geostatistics and neural networks, upscale the reservoir models to any grid size while keeping the geologic features and plan optimal well trajectories. All these results could be input in REFRACT to handle fractured reservoirs. REFRACT, contains almost two decades of experience in developing continuous fracture modeling (CFM) solutions and provides an alternative to the DFN (discrete fracture network) approach. The CFM approach used in REFRACT has proven on numerous oil and gas fields its ability to predict fracture density away from the wells, to simultaneously integrate multiple 3D seismic attributes in its models, and to provide a useful permeability field that allows the match of production history on a well-by-well basis, unlike the DFN approach. Some of these results can be found in Prism Seismic principals' publications. In contrast to DFN publications and case studies that ends with the usual general conclusion “…. The derived DFN models could be used to drill wells or as input in reservoir simulators …..” CFM case studies published by Prism Seismic principals and clients show both the drilling results as well as the individual well performances in reservoir simulators. |
