Tool mimics hydrocarbon migration
Studio X has released its latest agent-based modeling E&P tool, “Go with the Flow.” The tool is designed to allow users to quickly iterate and explore fluid movement models in the subsurface through a user-friendly interface. It was derived from a data science challenge on Xeek, a crowdsourcing platform founded by Studio X. The tool allows users to upload seismic volume as a SEGY file, then select parameters for how they think fluids would behave kilometers below the surface of the Earth. In minutes, the tool displays a gif of how the agents accumulate within the seismic, allowing geoscientists to imagine how fluids such as hydrocarbons, water and CO2 would migrate and be trapped in the subsurface. A core differentiator for the “Go with the Flow” tool is ease of use and a future pay-per-use business model.
