Earth Modeling Data Handling
For describing the geology of a basin, a prospect or a reservoir, the geological objects that constitute these entities, their properties and their spatial and temporal relationships must be standardized in order to be shared.
For describing the geology of a basin, a prospect or a reservoir, Oil Operator companies, geomodelling Software vendors and research groups have to consider the geological objects (stratigraphic units, horizons, faults, full earth models) that constitute these entities, their properties and their spatial and temporal relationships. In order to be shared, this specialized knowledge must be standardized.
This is the reason why these companies and academics started to associate their actions from the early 1990’s in consortia like POSC (Petroleum Open Software Corporation), which is now Energistics, and the Open Group OSDU Forum.
We can note that the Energistics consortium produced the exchange standards RESQML (for reservoir data), WITSML (for wellbore data) and PRODML (for production data), and that the OSDU Forum consortium was created in 2018 for complementing these standards with contextual meta-data and extending the fields addressed by Energistics.
During the last ten years, Geosiris has actively participated in the building and improvement of the RESQML standard, which is focused on reservoir characterization and earth model building. The standardization of the geological data proposed in the RESQML 2.2 edition is built from most of the Geosiris proposals.
In this context, Geosiris develops software applications to facilitate the usage of these standards
- Editors and Validators
- Tools for management and transfer: GABBRO and ETP
- Loading, ingestion, indexation and delivery tools of RESQML 2.2 entities in an OSDU environment
- Creation of an Autodesk/Civil 3D plug-in (RESQML-CAD) to handle Civil Engineering activities
