DecisionSpace^® Unconventionals

Introducing the industry’s first comprehensive suite of geoscience, reservoir, drilling, production and economics applications delivered on a single platform, optimized for managing the lifecycle of unconventional resources.

Shale productivity challenges

Unconventionals continue to be a global strategic resource actively exploited by E&P companies facing common shale productivity challenges. The following are key requirements to achieve cost-effective hydrocarbon reserves recovery and ongoing high levels of production from these operationally intensive shale plays:

• Production optimization and tight cost control
• Drilling long horizontal wells and fracture stimulation to maximize production
• Modeling of natural fractures
• Sophisticated statistical analytics to target productive zones, or sweet spots
• Multi-year drilling programs to mitigate rapid decline rates and sustain production volumes
• Cross-disciplinary collaboration and data sharing, instead of traditional silo-based work practices

Step-change in Workflows, Processes & Decision-making

To meet such challenges and successfully optimize unconventional reservoir performance throughout the entire asset lifecycle, a step-change is needed - encompassing integrated workflows, seamless business processes and faster decisions. DecisionSpace^® Unconventionals helps reduce uncertainty through improved characterization of the reservoir, leading to better informed decisions on wells and completions, which in turn helps lead to more reliable production forecasts. Landmark solution makes it possible with a suite of applications specifically designed to help:

• Improve cost/BOE
• Enhance frac performance
• Increase recovery
• Reduce risk and uncertainty
