GIS-PAX is a private company based in Australia that has built and specializes in play analysis software for both the conventional and unconventional global oil and gas E&P industry. The software was created from the ground up encorporating 60+ years of global geological exploration expertise and GIS E&P company experience.
The products have become the gold standard tools for Play Analysis in the upstream oil and gas industry today. The client list is comprised of 30+ international E&P companies from small independents to global supermajors that are actively exploring almost every basin on the planet.
Player - Conventional Exploration
Player is playerlogomedthe gold standard tool for Play Analysis in the upstream oil and gas industry today with 30+ international E&P companies now using our product. Our client base comes from the full spectrum of oil and gas companies actively exploring almost every basin globally, from small independents through to global supermajors.
The play analysis process in a conventional play setting as seen in Player forces the evaluation team to look at and understand why nearby wells have succeeded or failed in a critical way. Player translates this and other knowledge from seismic and well data into a set of maps that helps to spatially divide any reservoir/seal pair (or play interval) into good or bad areas. This mapping process can be qualitative or quantitative and many companies have developed their own processes and workflows which we can emulate by customizing the Player software to each company.
Multiple play maps can then be stacked to highlight the potential of the entire basin. We call these war maps or basin stacks and they are particularly useful for simplifying complex play analysis work into a useful output for senior management.
In Player, the user can select which play levels are included, subset which prospect or feature density estimate polygons (we call unidentified prospectivity) are enrolled, and decide which set of polygons to output the summation into. Usually this output is into blocks but it could be basins or any other set of polygons. We offer the functionality to make map estimates of drilling cost, value (oil, condensate and gas unit values) and tax factors so that a value can be ascribed to the plays and blocks if desired. This calculation engine unitises, by area, every pool and prospect in the selection automatically using the block boundary lines and the total value and risked volume calculation involves the generation and analysis of 7 intermediate polygon stacks. The input and output process to access this functionality is easy in Player– the computations are very complex and spatial but repeatable – we have done that hard work for you.
