The Geolog log management, correlation and petrophysics system is used by major oil companies and oilfield service providers worldwide for petrophysical analysis, well data management and geological interpretation.

It offers advanced technology, superior presentation graphics, modularity and ease of use.
Paradigm has recently released its latest version of the product, Geolog 6.6. The new version offers a wide range of enhancements providing high levels of interactivity and automation.
Keeping up with industry trends
Following the increased use of the Windows operating system in the E&P industry, Geolog 6.6 supports three operating systems -- native Windows, Linux and UNIX -- with full interoperability on all three platforms. Support for native Windows assures easy installation and deployment of the program, while significantly reducing hardware acquisition costs.
Regarding Geolog operation on Linux, one customer had this to say: 'The performance of Geolog running with the Linux OS is breathtaking. If you are looking at an order of magnitude improvement in workflow cycle time on large, 10,000 well + databases and at a reduced cost -- this is it.'
Interactivity and automation
The highly interactive petrophysical productivity tools offered in Geolog 6.6 provide a better understanding of the petrophysical properties of the reservoir, and add to the product's ease of use.
Through Geolog's inter-process communication (full interactivity between views), when a change is made in one window, the effect of that change is immediately seen on the rest of the data.
This enables the geoscientist to achieve reliable results quickly and efficiently.
Based on technologies licensed from Total, Paradigm's Facimage solution for electrofacies analysis, log prediction and core data modeling is a powerful automatic facies classification tool for formation evaluation.
Creating reliable solutions
Geolog enables geologists and petrophysicists to work collaboratively to define the optimal reservoir model. Using the wellbore image processing capabilities of the Geomage add-on module, the geologist can perform manual interpretation as well as automatic detection of bedding dip, classification of rock texture and identification of fractures.
The automatic detection functionality, a commercialisation of Total's Diamage technology, allows rapid, reliable processing of large data volumes and removes bias that might be introduced by the interpreter.
Extending petrophysical analysis to the 3D environment
Extending petrophysical analysis to the 3D environment gives geologists and petrophysicists a more comprehensive understanding of their reservoir.
Features such as interactive histograms and a new 3D crossplot application bring Paradigm's leadership in high-end visualisation to the desktop of the petrophysicist.
The Geolog XV upgrade enables the user to perform mapping operations on petrophysical and geological data, and then visualise the results in 3D.
Modeling and interpretation in high-angle and horizontal wells provides real-time feedback.
Paradigm offers a real-time geosteering solution and provides the petrophysicist with tools for modeling and interpreting petrophysical parameters in highly deviated wells.
This add-on module, developed in cooperation with ChevronTexaco, provides the petrophysicist with tools for modeling and interpreting petrophysical parameters in highly deviated wells.
Interoperability saves time and money
Geolog, like most of Paradigm's solution suite, runs on the epos data management and interoperability integration framework.
Epos' middleware-based data management and cataloging system, multi-vendor interoperability, and distributed data repositories provide effective solutions that dovetail into any enterprise computing environment.
Direct access to well data repositories, both Paradigm's own epos data repository, and those of other vendors, eliminates the need to duplicate data between projects.
John Kennedy, Petropysicist at Daewoo International, had the following to say about Geolog: 'The implementation of Geolog within the Daewoo Myanmar organisation has provided the company with a powerful database and associated applications for the comprehensive manipulation of all geotechnical down-hole data types.
'The use of Geolog has improved the certainty of decisions made with relation to the borehole and enables the interpretation team to quickly collaborate on key issues. Geolog's intuitive graphical interface provides presentation quality displays in a PC and Linux environment that has enabled the entire team to become quickly productive.'
