Dynamic Graphics, Inc.® (DGI) solves spatial analysis problems for the petroleum industry. For four decades, we have been a premier provider of earth modeling and visualization solutions with our innovative, easy-to-use software and outstanding support services. We offer three separate packages: CoViz® 4D, WellArchitect®, and EarthVision®. While each is a standalone product, serving a different purpose in the hydrocarbon development workflow, when used in conjunction, they provide a collaborative multi-disciplinary environment that offers dramatic benefits.
CoViz 4D leads the industry in providing a dynamic visual environment for reservoir management. Understanding the changing response of a reservoir over time is critical for optimizing production and development decisions. CoViz 4D makes it possible for multi-disciplinary users to simultaneously view and interrogate datasets from throughout the asset development team—regardless of the original data source. Understanding through data fusion—powerful in 3D—increases enormously when used in 4D: the unique temporal functionality in CoViz 4D allows you to visualize how development decisions affect your reservoir throughtout the life of the fields. CoViz 4D features include:
- Concurrent visualization of earth models, reservoir simulation grids, production data, seismic data, gravity⁄magnetic data, property models, well logs, and non-spatial data
- A highly customizable, adaptable, and scalable environment
- Seamless operation between Linux® and Windows®
- Portable data store
- Data visualization on or off line, from the laptop to the visualization center
EarthVision is renowned for its ability to quickly provide accurate and reliable 3D models, even in the most structurally complex areas. An EarthVision model enables more precise well positioning and improved reservoir characterization and environmental analysis. EarthVision includes:
- 3D property modeling using EarthVision’s breakthrough geometric restoration technique
- Fault restoration methodology that allows for better understanding of depositional history and clearer insight into efficiently exploiting the reservoir
- Seismic displays using superior data integration for an efficient approach to quality control
- Traditional mapping products (base and contour maps, cross sections, and 3D fence diagrams)
- Geocellular grids produced with our optional evcell component
WellArchitect, developed in conjunction with Baker Hughes, is an advanced well planning and survey management system for integrated planning and drilling of directional wellpaths with or without earth models. WellArchitect seamlessly accomodates the needs of field development, sidetracking, multi-laterals, and re-entry drilling, both in the office and at the wellsite. Features of WellArchitect include:
- Planning of well profiles from vertical to extended reach and complex 3D geometries
- Target evaluation based on positional uncertainty
- Extensive customizable reports that are simple to create and update
- Page and composite customizable 2D plots, incorporating geological features and other graphics
- Interactive 3D visualization that can show the full geological, drilling, and operational context
- Wellpath, fault and horizon proximity monitoring
The EarthVision Cellular Gridding® module converts an EarthVision structure or property model into a cellular-grid format compatible for input to reservoir upscaling and simulation programs. Using an algorithm optimized for faults, evcell calculates cellular reservoir grids that accurately portray the structure and⁄or property in the original 3D model.
