Baker Hughes released its next-generation JewelSuite 6 software, which helps operators with data-driven decisions across all exploration and production domains with integrated applications for geological modeling and reservoir engineering, geomechanical modeling, and reservoir stimulation.
The geological modeling and reservoir engineering application can build models and run multiple scenarios in complex reservoirs that assist the user in determining an economically viable development plan for projects. Clearer understanding of the subsurface enables better decisions on well placement, reserves estimation, and production planning.
The geomechanical modeling application creates models that assist users in predicting drilling and production problems and developing solutions to mitigate them. The application can be used independently or as part of integrated geomechanical workflows— from 1D well-centric models to advanced 3D reservoir-centric models, 3D fault stability analysis and 4D full-field finite-element geomechanical simulations—all within a single interface.
The reservoir stimulation application enables operators to select the hydraulic fracturing design for unconventional field development that best meets their requirements.
Developed in close collaboration with a major exploration and production operator, each JewelSuite 6 software application has a modern intuitive user interface, automated workflows, and built-in smart rules.
All of the applications are built on the JewelEarth 6 software platform, which enables integration among JewelSuite applications and connectivity with most other industry technology, including applications, plug-ins, and workflows. A software development kit, introduced simultaneously with the JewelSuite 6 software, will allow developers to create and integrate new technology into the JewelEarth 6 platform.
