ChinOil optimizes the search for potentially productive zones of hard-to-reach deposits under the “Cognitive Geologist” project

17 May 2018

The use of standard data interpretation methods for tight oil is impossible.

For example, when processing seismic for tight oil using traditional methods, companies do not receive a clear answer, what layers they will have to work with. Today all received information is simultaneously integrated and interpreted. Due to this, the “Cognitive Geologist” significantly reduces exploration period and receives more data. With the help of this new tool, the company can process old data or get missing parts on new potential thicknesses. In addition, the process of getting the answer to the main question of any exploration project – where to drill this or that well – is reduced by 2-3 years.
