PARADIGM

Paradigm is the largest independent developer of software-enabled solutions to the global oil and gas industry. Customers rely on Paradigm software to discover and extract hydrocarbon resources and make better business decisions. Paradigm solutions span critical exploration and production disciplines, from seismic processing and imaging to interpretation and modeling, reservoir characterization, and well planning and drilling.

Paradigm offers a rich portfolio of productivity tools and scientifically advanced applications for geologists, geophysicists and engineers who construct subsurface models from oilfield and other measurements. Paradigm solutions share a unified 3D visualization canvas and a network-based data management infrastructure.

The SKUA-GOCAD™ Modeling suite provides geologists, reservoir modelers and reservoir engineers with the next-generation software they need to create accurate, unbiased, and geologically realistic reservoir models in an integrated, 3D modeling environment. SKUA-GOCAD provides the workflows, tools, and flexibility needed to efficiently and accurately represent the subsurface and its petrophysical content. With a user-friendly interface, automated work processes, and a complete audit trail, users can model faster and investigate alternative scenarios, while tracking every modeling change.

The tight connection between Abaqus and SKUA-GOCAD enables users to perform geomechanical studies on models that accurately represent the subsurface. SKUA-GOCAD creates 3D meshes that are ideal for both geological modeling and geomechanical simulation.

The joint solution enables operators to understand the risks associated with pore pressure prediction, wellbore stability, subsidence and compaction, cap seal integrity, fault reactivation. In unconventional plays, it provides guidance for completion optimization and refracking.
