Don’t Forget to be Extra Spatial

How using subsurface spatialized geometries improves your wellbore level analytics.

Big data and analytics have gotten ample attention in the oil and gas industry lately. With such urgency to get ahead of the technology curve it begs the question, have we been doing it with a lack of full-spectrum (especially subsurface) spatial awareness? I am not suggesting we are haphazardly geo-locating wells in the incorrect coordinate system or projection. I am talking about breaking down horizontal wellbores into smaller sections and teasing out trends you may otherwise overlook. If you run production metrics over the entire wellbore or associate it only with the surface location, you may arrive at some misleading answers.

Our developers have engineered the data to deliver analytics-ready geometries for the lateral section, perforated interval, and treated interval. By segregating portions of the wellbore, the interpreter can focus on what matters to them. Take a scenario where you are drilling a wildcat…wait it is 2020 and nobody is doing that but just imagine for a second. You are drilling the vertical or building the curve and you get some unusual gas kicks and your cuttings are fluorescing. If you perf those sections, you are likely going to want to analyze that production over the life of the well separately.

The Energy Data Conduit gives way to these workflows (in addition to so much more) on top of delivering evergreen and enriched datasets to your preferred deep-dive application. Our clients drive the solutions we build, and we pride ourselves on creativity and ingenuity in the oil and gas tech space.
