Paradigm names new suite of applications
Posted: 4 October 2007
Paradigm announced at the Society of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG) 77th Annual Meeting that its new suite of subsurface applications will be known as SKUA, an acronym for Subsurface Knowledge Unified Approach.
The name was also selected for its symbolic reference to the Skua, an arctic bird of prey known for its competitive behavior, superior hunting skills and adaptation to some of the harshest terrain on earth.
Paradigm engaged E&P technology users for product name recommendations, and selected SKUA from the hundreds of suggestions they received.
The winning entry was submitted by Professor Jean-Laurent Mallet. The $10,000 award will be accepted by Mr. Serge Nicoletis to benefit the Ecole Nationale de Géologie de Nancy, the winner’s nominated accredited university.
SKUA is a major component of a new suite of applications that will integrate leading geoscience technology from Paradigm. SKUA simplifies modeling tasks by eliminating many of the complexity limitations of current industry technology, such as the time-consuming construction of multi-faulted models and the severe limitations of pillar and extrusion technology.
“SKUA greatly simplifies the modeling process and reduces modeling time from weeks to days by shifting away from a surface and pillar-based approach of traditional reservoir modeling,” said Jean-Claude Dulac, Paradigm’s chief architect.
“We are pleased to introduce the first SKUA cornerstone application from Paradigm which is the future breakthrough subsurface imaging, interpretation and modeling technologies.”
SKUA solutions benefit geophysicists, geologists, petrophysicists and engineers through a simple, one-click approach to 3D modeling. This results in better structural, stratigraphic and reservoir 3D models with multi-resolution capabilities while removing distortion introduced with current modeling technologies.
