Why Choose Object Reservoir?
Resolution is the key to technological advancement. Lasers are replacing scalpels in the medical industry. Blu-ray is replacing DVD, which replaced video cassette tapes. Dual flat panel monitors have all but rendered CRTs obsolete. Tthe difference is the added resolution that every new generation of technology provides, and this resolution is what enables the delivery of faster, more detailed, more precise results in nearly every case.
The same holds true for modeling oil and gas reservoirs. If the reservoir problem at hand is complex, traditional modeling methods may take too long, or may not be feasible at all. Oil and gas has become harder to recover due to technology advancing the ability to drill into previously inaccessible environments. As a result, completions are becoming progressively more complex and difficult to model. To deal with these new challenges, more advanced tools are required. OR’s technology meets these new challenges by automatically adding accuracy and resolution where it’s needed most.
Many other reservoir modeling solutions exist today, but none allow you to quickly solve the most complex problems while efficiently meeting the daily needs of reservoir modeling.
Unparalleled ServiceObject Reservoir offers customizable projects performed by industry experts and professionally managed to help you get the absolute most out of our technology and workflow. OR is developing unparalleled expertise in the unconventional gas arena. OR is currently host to 2 Collaborative Exploitation Projects (CEPs) in unconventional gas and is currently subscribing 2 more to commence prior to 2009’s year end. CEPs are multi-organization projects open to operators in targeted plays designed to facilitate knowledge sharing and development of best practices for exploiting the play. CEPs are more than just a joint industry study; they are projects with definite, actionable deliverables, and Object Reservoir is leading the charge. With a variety of participants and vast knowledge sharing, OR will soon become the authority in shale. However, OR’s expertise isn’t limited to unconventional gas; we have helped over 50 companies world-wide increase their understanding of their reservoirs and optimize recovery and future development decisions. Regardless size and scope of the project, Object Reservoir can tailor a solution to meet your needs. If you’d rather the power and flexibility of Resolve in-house, OR also offers various training courses so Resolve can work for you every day. |
Accurate. Fast. Reliable.The finite element methodology is the foundation that not only enables Resolve™, but also the workflow. It’s accurate: the near-well mesh automatically resolves data down to millimeters within the wellbore and completions. This type of resolution allows you to distinguish between reservoir performance and completion/well performance, to truly understand what is impacting the performance of your wells. It’s fast: changing frac orientation, half lengths, conductivity, and other frac properties to evaluate various options takes less than one minute. In addition, a proprietary approach to well modeling called Dynamic Reservoir Characterization (DRC™) was born through Resolve. This process allows for a faster, simplified workflow that can accomplish in days what may have taken weeks or months otherwise. It’s reliable: Object Reservoir has partnered with leading reserves estimation firm DeGoyler and MacNaughton in the Haynesville Collaborative Exploitation Project in an effort to develop “reliable technologies” that may lead to practical prescriptions for “turning resources into reserves”, thus helping operators to monetize their assets earlier by booking proved reserves and determining contingent resources. |
The Fundamental Difference: Finite ElementAt the core of Object Reservoir’s business is a proprietary software technology called Resolve™, and at the core of Resolve lies the fundamental differentiator: finite element analysis. Most traditional reservoir modeling tools utilize some version of finite difference analysis; however finite difference has inherent limitations, the principal of which being that increased resolution does not necessarily increase the accuracy. Even when resolution is there, it generally results in longer run times and increased uncertainty. As a result, traditional methods can be too dependent on pasted in analytic solutions to handle the near well bore behavior and as a result fail to model the reservoir and the well as the complete system that it is. Finite element analysis (FE), on the other hand, along with Resolve’s automatic adaptive 4-D meshing, enables the model to be extremely high resolution, and generate increased accuracy as a result of that resolution, where it matters, while automatically reducing the resolution farther away from the complex regions to optimize model run-times. |
