Rock Physics at Speed in RokDoc 2026.2

RokDoc 2026.2 focuses on throughput where rock physics users spend most of their time. Rock physics work is often limited less by “can the model be built” and more by how quickly it can be iterated, validated against wells, and carried through to the volumes or deliverables needed by the wider ...

Reservoir Characterization: Faster analysis, clearer QC in RokDoc 2026.2

Reservoir Characterization workflows in RokDoc 2026.2 concentrate on two goals: getting to answers more quickly and communicating QC more clearly. Reservoir characterization workflows tend to accumulate computational cost in predictable places: seismic conditioning, repeated attribute generation, ...

PressureView plotting: returning to the fundamentals

Pressure–depth plotting remains the foundation of pore-pressure interpretation, forming the basis for all subsequent modelling and geomechanical analysis. Interpretation begins with reliable visualisation of measured pressures, gradients, and operational limits. Robust interpretation also depends ...
