Paradigm announced the release of Paradigm StratEarth 2009, designed to bridge the gap between seismic and geological interpretation. Offered as an add-on to Paradigm SeisEarth, StratEarth provides a tightly integrated geological correlation and cross-section environment for evaluating and assessing reservoirs for better well positioning and field management.

StratEarth fully incorporates geologic and seismic data to facilitate advanced workflows that support exploration and development projects from initial interpretation to advanced subsurface modeling. Furthermore, the software suite enables users to automatically correlate hundreds of wells and quickly detect any inconsistencies between seismic data, petrophysical data, well markers and geological data in markers positions and orders.

"StratEarth expands the Paradigm solution continuum, delivering a unique toolset that dramatically enhances the way geoscientists and engineers are able to interpret and interact with their data," said Duane Dopkin, Paradigm senior vice president of technology. "By streamlining the process between seismic and geologic interpretation, StratEarth enables users to operate within challenging time constraints and increasingly complex environments while achieving faster, more accurate results."

The StratEarth 2009 suite provides users with intuitive interfaces to facilitate common workflow elements and an extensive suite of data analysis tools. StratEarth also offers seamless interoperability with Paradigm SKUA  2009, one of the most advanced subsurface modeling software suite on the market today, enabling rapid construction of geologically-valid, simulator-ready reservoir models from all available data.
