PetroAnalyst

A Map Based Risk Assessment Process

petro1 (21K)
petro2 (25K) Total chance of geologic success (Pg) for the Upper and Lower Bakken Resource Play in the Williston Basin, North Dakota USA. The map is colored according to calculated Pg from the lowest (red) to highest (green).

PetroAnalyst complements PRA's suite of products - BasinMod 1-D & 2-D, BasinFlow, BasinMod Risk, BasinView - and Consultive Services.
PetroAnalyst helps analyze and evaluate the chance associated with the hydrocarbon potential of Play Fairways.
PetroAnalyst takes the results from Petroleum System Analysis to do Play Fairway risk assessment.
PetroAnalyst lets you "Spatially Risk Manage" your portfolio of opportunities in a consistent manner from business unit to business unit.
PetroAnalyst improves the internal consistency of chance assessment for your Company's prospect and play portfolios by enforcing an organization and ranking of data and interpretations.

Works with Resource & Conventional Plays

  • Flexible, changes with your focus and opportunities.
  • Customizable workflow.
  • Quantify & Qualify your opportunities
  • Calculates Relative & Absolute probability

Adds Value to Existing Databases & Technology

  • Complements existing risk processes (Rose, in-house, etc.):
    • Reality Checks - Does it make sense on a map?
  • Use Available Data:
    • Petroleum Systems Analysis
    • Grids, Hand-Drawn Interpretations, Play Fairway, Well Locations
  • Map geologic probability spatially in ArcGIS
  • Map Play Elements (Reservoir, Seal, Source Rock, Trap, Timing & Migration)
  • "Chance of Geologic Success Map" or "Common Risk Segment" calculated from:
    • "Data Quality & Data Quantity"
    • "Relative Probability" or "Stoplight Maps"

Established Data Rules

  • Provides a set of guidelines for estimate of relative probability
    for both data-rich and data-poor exploration scenarios.
  • Measures data confidence by analyzing data quality & quantity.
  • Do not rule out an opportunity because of data issues.
  • Examine play/prospect in most objective manner.

Standardized, Customizable Process

  • PetroAnalyst creates a standarized workflow and management-ready output.
  • PetroAnalyst is a process that is based upon human interaction.
  • Play elements, language, colors, etc. consistent company wide, business unit to business unit.
  • Fine-tune the software and underlying database to the specific needs of your company!
