(Calgary, Alberta – November 28, 2006) Geomodeling Technology Corp., a leading innovator in geoscience software for the oil and gas industry, today announced that it has released SBED 2006 Version 3, highlighting enhanced bioturbation modeling and multi-phase upscaling functions. SBED is the only software for identifying reservoir potential through small-scale heterogeneity modeling and flow-based upscaling.
"We have really focused on permeability and porosity functions in SBED Version 3," says Renjun Wen, Geomodeling’s Chief Executive Officer. "Our new features and enhancements in bioturbation functions are indicative of our dedication to excellence of SBED and small-scale heterogeneity modeling."
SBED 2006 Version 3 new features and enhancements includemulti-phase upscaling for bioturbation model, superimposing bioturbation to existing bioturbation model, and net-to-gross calculation presented alongside geometry grid in 3D view, among others.
Multi-Phase upscaling can now be calculated for a bioturbation submodel. As bioturbation can increase or decrease permeability and porosity, upscaling allows the user to visualize the larger effect of bioturbation on permeability and porosity of a submodel.
SBED version 3 allows users to superimpose an unlimited number of bioturbation structures on any pre-existing bioturbation submodel in SBED. This feature will allow you to assign different petrophysical values to different groups of bioturbation structures, allowing a more accurate result of your submodel.
Net-to-gross (NTG) calculation is now presented as text in the 3D View window alongside the geometry grid. This allows the user to review the model and NTG without having to access each separately. Identifying the net sand in a model provides an accurate portrayal of rock type variability and NTG free characterization.
The full list of new features in SBED 2006 v3 includes:
Superimpose Bioturbation to existing Bioturbation model
Calculate Multi-Phase Upscaling for Bioturbation model
Net-To-Gross (NTG) calculation presented alongside Geometry grid in 3D View
Import Options for J-Function and PC Curve Data
Delete submodels in My Models using keyboard
Save Project As menu command allows you to save the project to a new title and directory of your choice.
