Our Value

"The quality and accuracy of your final inversion products has helped Chevron Canada and its partners successfully penetrate our desired targets on a number of newly drilled wells in offshore Newfoundland."—Chevron

"During the past two years, the Workbench has been used to generate 3D models for a number of BP prospects around the world. Some of these models have subsequently proven to have added value, through significantly reduced exploitation costs, because of the accuracy (in estimation of geometry and rock properties) of the subsurface reservoir description."—BP Exploration

"I also had the privilege to see the results of a simultaneous inversion that your company provided for another group within bp. The results appeared to be extremely accurate based on ties with existing wells and have led to a much higher level of understanding of the geology of the area."—BP Canada Energy Company

"Although currently untested by additional drilling, we believe that the inversion with the [Jason Geoscience Workbench®] product has allowed us to more accurately quantify the reserves potential in the area near the well."—Texaco Exploration

"Following analysis of the results of the new inversion undertaken on line AQ-094-94 (your report dated July 15th, 1996), we were able to successfully predict the facies development of four reservoir sands that would be encountered by a step-out well. Being aware of the relatively subtle distinction between respective facies types (having visited analogous outcrop exposures in Utah), I regard this as a considerable achievement."—Apex Petroleum

"As a test, we provided Jason with four wells, along with seismic data and regional markers from our Landmark interpretation system, and asked for predictions of pay thickness on the other nine wells in the field. To properly estimate sand thickness above the water contact requires correct structural as well as stratigraphic predictions. As the attached spreasheet shows, using the Geoscience Workbench to combine the geology and geophysics reduced the standard (rms) error in predictions of glauconite pay thickness by almost 50%. This makes the Jason method a very useful tool in both reducing risk and in integrating geology and geophysics, enabling us to make more accurate and timely technical decisions."—Fletcher Challenge Energy Canada

"Texaco New Orleans has been using Jason's seismic inversion technology since 1990. Since purchasing the initial Integrate product, we have enjoyed increased success in accurately targeting wells in new and existing fields."—Texaco Exploration & Production

"Through the integrating of the inversion data set and our conventional interpretation we feel that a better understanding of the subtle complexities associated with the play types encountered in our Argentinean properties has been reached."—AEC International

JGW Software

"Properly utilized, the Geoscience Workbench can often provide superior estimates of reservoir geometry, thickness, and quality, compared to more traditional seismic structural and amplitude interpretation methods."—BP Exploration

"Based on the confidence we have in the Fugro-Jason work we have used your products to specifically target and find the most prolific sand packages in the prospective area."—Chevron

The Geoscience Workbench software packages, along with our interpretation, well log analysis, and mapping system, creates a platform for integrating geoscience, petrophysics and engineering, with the Workbench providing the link between the time and depth domains. Such integration makes the maximum use of all available data, enabling Mitchell to make more timely technical decisions."—Mitchell Energy

"I am also very much impressed by the scientific approaches that Jason Houston adopted for each project—highly efficient team work from geologists, geophysicists, and petrophysicists with also strict peer-reviewed quality control."—Columbia University

"I used the Jason system personally for several different interpretation and seismic analysis projects in the Gulf of Mexico and found the software to be both reliable and powerful. The software provided virtually all of the tools I needed to analyze my seismic data."—BP Canada Energy Company

"BP Exploration has been using the Jason Geoscience Workbench globally, including the Gulf of Mexico, since it was initially released in 1993. We have found that it offers significant advantages to interpreters in exploration and prospect appraisal/development. Subsurface acoustic impedance models, derived from seismic data, well logs, and geologic constraints, provide a more easily understood basis for multi-disciplinary teams to describe and simulate the performance of hydrocarbon reservoirs. The Geoscience Workbench is currently the most comprehensive software tool available for building such models."—BP Exploration

"The data link between Jason and other software is very good and it makes the job easier."—Pertamina

"Texaco Exploration's West Africa Team recently had the opportunity to compare acoustic impedance inversion results from a 3D seismic data set in West Africa using Jason's Geoscience Workbench and a competitor's global seismic inversion technique. A large 3D data volume was inverted with the competitor's software, using a single well with variable log quality over the zone of interest. Concurrently, one of Texaco Exploration's partners used Jason's Geoscience Workbench software to invert a small subset of the 3D volume in the immediate vicinity of the well. For this 3D data set, the inversion with the Workbench tools has yielded a product with higher vertical resolution, resulting in a clearer depiction of potential reservoir thicknesses."—Texaco Exploration

"In addition to powerful algorithms, the Workbench provides a very productive environment for multi-discipline work through binary data links to commercial interpretation platforms. Central to the Workbench is the EarthModel™ model builder, providing the critical link between well logs, stratigraphic and structural models, in both time and depth domains. The data model supports a broad spectrum of solutions ranging from rank wildcat exploration to mature development, all within a framework that optimally takes advantage of all applicable data. As the requirement for increased resolution becomes greater, we are confident that the Workbench will provide us with consistently high quality 3D reservoir models."—Texaco Exploration & Production

"Mitchell has used Jason products in its core areas of North Texas, East Texas and the Gulf Coast to assist interpretation of producing properties. Results from these efforts have led us to a wider application of this technology in our exploration ventures."—Mitchell Energy

PowerLog

"For our business, the multi-well capability is very powerful. We can literally process thousands of wells at one time. PowerLog's multi-well capability is far superior to any other program that I have seen to date. We just finished a 100-well project in four days. That's the power of PowerLog for you!"—Jim Wallace, Principal and Petrophysicist, Hunt Wallace and Associates

"With its user programming, data editing, multi-well interpretation and batch processing capabilities considered, PowerLog is perhaps the best value-for-the-dollar of any formation evaluation software product on the market today."—Paul Connolly, Chief Petrophysicist, EOG Resources Houston

"Petrophysicists are true power users. They like creating their own programs and adding user defined algorithms, both proprietary and commercial. They like the Synthetic Curve Generator for data reconstruction, particularly in wash-out conditions. And they like the linear matrix inversion lithology and porosity modeling capability of StatMin."—Jim Wallace, Principal and Petrophysicist, Hunt Wallace and Associates

"I have used many major commercial packages, and a few proprietary petrophysical computation systems. I believe PowerLog is a collection of many best features of these packages."—Doug Sharp, Petrophysical Engineering Specialist, EOG Resources Denver
