The common UI in Paradigm 18 enables geoscientists to perform seismic interpretation, geologic interpretation and modeling in an integrated environment, for an enhanced user experience

Emerson announced its entire E&P software suite is now available on the cloud, enabling oil and gas companies to securely take advantage of digital technologies to better model and optimize production in new and established reservoirs. Emerson now delivers seismic processing and imaging, data interpretation, subsurface modeling, formation evaluation, reservoir engineering, production optimization, and other services with faster, more powerful computing power to connect critical subsurface intelligence with surface operations.

The enormous growth in the volume and complexity of petrotechnical data, combined with the need to reduce costs and enhance productivity in the E&P market, poses a growing challenge for today’s chief information officers. Emerson addresses these challenges by utilizing cloud computational horsepower while leveraging proven and reliable machine learning algorithms and other technologies. Harnessing the power of Microsoft Azure also provides more flexible, scalable and collaborative work processes, helping operators increase efficiencies and achieve Top Quartile performance – operations and capital performance in the top 25 percent of peer companies.

Designed to optimize result accuracy while allowing users to work faster and more productively, Paradigm 18 offers:

• Artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities that enable quick and reliable identification of geologic facies from seismic data and wellbore data.
• Seamless unification of the user interface and data management, from seismic processing to interpretation and modeling, enabling faster results with less effort.
• Support for cloud hosting, making it easier than ever for remote teams to work together.
• High-resolution processing, imaging, interpretation and modeling geoscience software, delivering more accurate subsurface models.

“With our E&P software-as-a-service model and long history of domain experience, Emerson is well positioned to lead the cloud transformation for the oil and gas market,” said Peter Zornio, chief technology officer with Emerson’s Automation Solutions business. “Our customers can now enjoy the same benefits from our software suite, whether they choose to run it locally, host it on the cloud, or use a hybrid of both. This expanded platform provides greater data analytics power and flexibility for some of the most challenging operational environments in the industry. When you combine our software with our technology and experience in the production area, we have a unique capability in the oil and gas marketplace.”

Emerson’s E&P cloud-hosted software, which can run on Azure and other leading cloud platforms, is currently available in two business options: customer-managed, in which customers run the software on cloud computing platforms and storage under management by their own IT organizations; and Emerson-operated, in which Emerson manages IT operations on the cloud, including the cloud platform, software support, maintenance and operation. The solution utilizes Microsoft’s strategically placed Azure datacenter regions for faster performance and compliance with local government regulations.

“Microsoft and Emerson have cooperated on cloud offerings for several years and we’re pleased to see Emerson extending its use of Microsoft Azure to support its full software suite,” said Jose Valls, CTO, Process Manufacturing, Microsoft Corp. “Emerson has high computational, data management and visualization needs and a global customer base. Azure provides a full set of configurations suitable to the wide range of computing requirements of the Emerson application portfolio, without compromising performance.”

This release expands the options available to our customers, while helping them improve performance throughout the E&P process. Paradigm 18 uses machine learning as a data integrator and process automation tool to deliver advanced automation for accelerated interpretation and reservoir characterization processes.  New features include capabilities that improve user productivity in high-resolution seismic processing and imaging and interpretation, more options for quantitative seismic interpretation and reservoir characterization, new enhancements to geomechanics, well bore stability and production logging, and an extension of the petrophysical uncertainty functionality in Geolog®.  This release also maintains and accelerates the company’s initiative to provide customers with open connectivity while maintaining data security.
