Earth Modeling & Geosteering Tool
Earth Decision Sciences (www.earthdecision.com) and Aramco Overseas Company B.V. (AOC) have brought to market GeoMorph, a powerful new real-time earth modeling and geosteering tool, originally developed by Saudi Aramco inventors. GeoMorph integrates real-time well log data and interpretation and updates earth model structural and stratigraphic attributes within minutes of penetration. GeoMorph will be available for fast model updating as part of Earth Decision’s GOCAD Suite.
“GeoMorph has been proven to dramatically shorten rig downtime by enabling models to be re-interpreted in minutes and hours, rather than days and weeks,” said Jean-Claude Dulac, CEO and founder of Earth Decision Sciences. “With GeoMorph, drilling plans are easily updated and adjusted, providing the flexibility so critical to field development.”
“In complex geological settings, adjusting the direction of the drill bit in real time with an ‘on-the-spot’ road map can make or break the success of a well,” said Roger Sung, Geosteering and Modeling Specialist and GeoMorph inventor, Saudi Aramco.
Tune and Rip as You Will
Time Trax Technologies has created a new product, the Time Trax TraxCatcher. This device is an FM radio dock with an MP3 player that anyone can use to “tune and rip.”
Using the TraxCatcher is as simple as plugging it into the wall, tuning to the required FM radio station and waiting a few hours to create an MP3 player filled with near perfectly cut, high-quality MP3 files. Grab and go with the MP3 player or use its completely integrated USB 2.0 connection to drop them onto a computer to have them tagged with artist and song information and sorted.
The first model, the TraxCatcher Classic is designed as a very simple and easy-to-use entry-level product. Pre-sales have begun at www.timetraxtech.com with delivery slated for March 2006. The Time Trax TraxCatcher is priced at $159.99.
