GeoGraphix for Geo Technicians

E&P companies are rolling out drilling programs on a scale that would have been unthinkable a few years ago, and advances in fracturing and directional drilling techniques are driving these new technologies in both conventional and unconventional settings.

Given the scale of this enterprise, time has become the key commodity. Time saved generating prospects, picking targets and understanding the competitive landscape results in increased opportunity and improved ROI.

GeoGraphix for Geo technicians allows you to load well data, stream data from web map services, move data between projects or between applications, QC data and merge or separate projects. Get your work done quickly and accurately by combining state-of-the-art GIS capabilities with an intuitive mapping interface to pick targets, spot well locations, build field plans and create presentation quality basemaps.

Features
Benefits

The GeoGraphix for Geo-Technicians solution allows you to:

Get The Most Out of a True 64-bit Relational Database Management System with Full Search Capabilities SAP SQL Anywhere 64-bit database technology in GeoGraphix supports project sizes of hundreds of thousands of wells and millions of production records. Get everyone on the team working together with a database that truly does support ten to fifteen concurrent users in a single project
Stream Online Satellite Imagery and Maps GeoGraphix integrates ArcGIS 10 directly into the map module, enabling users to display maps from ESRI SDE (Spatial Data Engine), import layer (.lyr) files or stream WMS and ArcGIS layers from leading industry vendors such as IHS, Spatial Energy and MapMart/Intrasearch. More than one WMS or ArcGIS map layer can be shown on your map with full transparency
Shapefile-Based Mapping In Discovery, every map layer is a shapefile. Discovery's native shapefile format makes it easy to import new data onto your map or to share your map layers with other applications
Select Better Well Locations The quartering tool allows users to quickly spot wells from quarter calls and easily add lease and tract polygons to the final map. Spot wells from aliquots and footage calls for PLSS, Texas, DLS, Offshore and Northeast landgrid polygons
Understand Your Land Position Analyze the competition's land position with LeaseMap and ArcGIS tools that enable the user to integrate insights from Exploration and Land departments leading to better leasing decisions and higher NPV	ArcGIS map services showing current land position.
Generate Accurate Contour Maps Generate contour maps using one of ten contouring algorithms including kriging to create presentation quality subsurface maps that incorporate color fills, customizable labels and transparency. Contours honor fault polygons and centerline faults and default contouring options let you create accurate subsurface maps in just a few minutes	Quality contour maps of subsurface with pay thickness
Create Better Production Maps Add bubbles, pie charts or apply themes to a map for mapping cumulative production EUR's and remaining reserves. Display drainage ellipses at well spots and pick new locations for infill drilling or perform reconnaissance with conditional pie charts that quickly point out trends in the data	Layers for production bubbles, logs and cross sections together with Spatial Energy satellite imagery
Import a Wide Variety of Image Formats Import a wide variety of standard image formats including GeoTiff, MrSid, GIF, DXF, JPEG, BMP, XYZ and ESRI shapefiles. All GeoGraphix layers are exported as shapefiles that can then be imported into an array of supporting applications
Exploit Blue-Marble software for unparalleled geodetic breadth and accuracy Project coordinate systems can be set up using any of the hundreds of datums and projections that Blue Marble supports in their award winning geodetic software. Custom coordinate systems and coordinate transformations are rock-solid accurate

GeoGraphix for Geo Technicians is a complete solution for geotechnical professionals, providing the ability to:

Build the highest quality and most accurate geological maps in the G&G industry
Pick targets and spot wells quickly and accurately leading to reduced cycle planning time
Gain a better understanding of the competitive landscape by using state-of-the-art GIS tools to combine land position with subsurface maps
