As subsurface exploration becomes increasingly complex, there’s less room for error. For exploration and production activities, quantitative interpretation workflows must produce not only a precise prediction of properties but also a good understanding of uncertainties. Ikon’s Time-Lapse Ji-Fi app offers complete 4D fluid tracking capabilities for production and injection scenarios and is applicable in most hydrocarbon production campaigns – and Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage (CCUS) efforts. The new app provides the ultimate integration of for a consistent 4D analysis of reservoirs.

As new rock physics models unlock functionality to a larger family of geologic plays and workflows, additional sand, shale and carbonate rock physics models that capture compaction, and clay evolution have been added to the RokDoc and rock physics modelling function (RPML) libraries. Also, a new fractured-carbonate rock physics model for feasibility and prediction of fracture density streamlines data sharing and integration with geomechanics workflows.

Useability is enhanced with new cross-plot display options, input filters for easier data management and a refreshed probability density function (PDF) management system. Ji-Fi and many other rock physics workflows that rely on facies classification are now easier to use with new, per-working-interval prior proportion inputs for 1D, 2D and Depth Trend Bayesian. These user-centric advances make documentation and summary plots easily repeatable for test comparisons so the models may be rapidly refined and improved.
