What’s New in GeoX-6
Introduction
GeoKnowledge continues to deliver: Release 6 adds a significant number
of new functions to GeoX. There are several main enhancements: New
segment analysis options for handling dual porosity assets and for
modelling saturation height, a new prospect merge function to do mega
prospects, extensions and enhancements of the full cycle tool, and a new
Project-Asset-Entitlements Reserve Tracker (RT) that combines stochastic
and deterministic classifications. There is also a new ArcGIS add-in that
supports map-based assessment at both the segment/prospect level and the
play level.
Note that some of the enhancements are minor, but are listed as they
potentially have consequences for assessed results.
Extensions and Enhancements
Shared facilities
Simpler SI unit labels for rock volumes
Reporting of rock volumes in SI has been simplified. Units are now in
million m3. This corresponds to the earlier km2-m units used for rock
volumes in SI.
Total liquid and gas volumes
Want an estimate of combined volumes of free gas and associated gas
and/or an estimate of the combined volumes of oil and condensate
associated with the free gas? Trial-by-trial estimates of total liquids and
total gas are now provided in the results section of all analyses (segments,
prospects, full cycle, portfolio value).
Active management of entitlements
A new Entitlements functionality provides a common platform for license
information that serves both assessments and Reserve Tracking You can
now maintain a complete history of license information with versioning
and automated updates of analyses or assets that reference license
information.
Excel templates in DB
There is no longer any issue with accessing Excel templates when running
GeoX over Citrix. The templates can be stored in the GeoX database and
then directly accessible by all users.
Resource diagram and PDF in scenario analyses
The new stochastic simulation improves the reporting in multiple scenario
analyses. A resource diagram shows the contribution of the different
scenarios to the success case volumes. All results now have probability
distributions in addition to exceedance probability curves.

What’s New in GeoX-6
Direct launch of analysis
Build applications where the application can open a GeoX analysis. Users
can for example select a segment in a map context, and the application can
launch the corresponding segment analysis.
Faster save/open of analyses
New storage strategies provide much faster analysis save and open. The
improvements are most evident in analyses with a large number of
enrolled analyses or in full cycle analyses with significant project duration
and result categories.
Sharing data with other applications via External tables
Have GeoX-relevant data in other databases? The GeoX external table
lookup function is now also available with SQL Server. The functionality
facilitates using external data in GeoX without needing to replicate the
data in the GeoX database.
Segment analysis tool
Saturation Height Function
Are you assessing low porosity or low relief structures? The new
saturation height functionality lets you capture the effects of transition
zones on average saturation. Use either direct entry of a saturation height
table or a lambda-type function to model the combined effects of height
above water contact and average reservoir porosity.
Dual Porosity
Single segment implementation of dual porosity makes analysis both faster
and less error prone. Intermediate results indicate matrix and fracture
volumes for immediate verification of results.
Alternatives for well spacing
Well spacing in the EUR/well recovery model can now either be defined
as area per well or as number of wells per unit of area.
Recovery factor for direct field size model
You can now get estimates of in-place volumes when using the direct total
field size volume model. By entering an estimate of the recovery factor,
the system calculates the corresponding in-place volumes.
New Bayesian Risk Modification Procedure
The existing Bayesian Risk Modification (BRM) procedure for handling
seismic anomalies (DFI’s) has been extended to produce estimates of the
BRM chance estimates.

Prospect analysis tool
Merge of prospect analyses
Build rapidly analyses of multiple prospects by using the new merge
capability. You can enrol multiple prospect analyses in a single prospect
analysis. Enrol merges the different prospect analyses with all their
dependency, correlation and leak definitions. The resulting analysis of the
“mega” prospect can be edited with all the functionality of the standard
prospect analysis.
Documentation of risk dependencies
Improve definition and interpretation of risk dependency estimates with
presentation of resulting estimates of conditional risks given estimates of
probability of shared geological controls and the basis for the estimates.
DFI dependency
A new DFI dependency concept complements the enhanced Bayesian Risk
Modification procedure at the segment level. DFI dependency groups
with associated correlation can be used to model the amount of
information provided by seismic anomalies on multiple segments in a
prospect. Prospect analyses with DFI can now be run with full cycle
analyses and can be aggregated.
Distribution of number of segments in success case
A new result report provides the basis for summarizing key results in
prospects with a large (> 5) number of segments. The relative frequency
of number of success case segments complements the information
provided by the joint segment probability table.
Prospect analysis Excel report with info on enrolled
segments
It is now possible to make a prospect analysis report that includes all
properties, inputs and results needed from segment analysis enrolled in the
prospect analysis.
Play analysis tool
Recovery factor for direct field size model
You can now get estimates of in-place volumes when using the direct total
field size volume model. By entering an estimate of the recovery factor,
the system calculates the corresponding in-place volumes.
Shale gas, CBM and dual porosity plays
Want to do a play-level assessment of resource play fairways? Want to
assess a play with dual-porosity features? The play tool has been extended
to include shale gas, CBM and dual porosity models for the postulated
features in the play.

Reserve tracker
Project based classification
Classifications are now 100% project based where by definition all
resources in a project belong to one resource class. RT provides three
inter-related views: Projects, Assets and Entitlements.
Mixed deterministic and stochastic classification
You can now combine stochastic classification and deterministic
classification in one classification model. For example, prospective
resources can use stochastic classes while contingent resources and
reserves can use deterministic classes. Resources are booked on projects
in a project-assets-entitlements framework.
Full cycle analysis tool
Production only
Do rapid and simple modelling of full cycle projects where you do not
need to enter cost and fiscal data. The system produces estimates of
production related results (profiles and summary performance indicators).
Direct entry production profiles
Need to use production profiles prepared outside of GeoX? Want to make
a field model that does not follow the standard buildup-plateau-decline
format? The new direct entry type well lets you paste in a production
profile package (main and associated products and water).
Explicit modeling of water handling facility
Water handling capacity and cost are potentially important full cycle
evaluation considerations. A new water development component – that
complements the existing liquids and gas components -- is now available
to model these elements.
Type well templates
Well definition in production activities typically involves representative
type wells. The new well template functionality provides a powerful
functionality for managing and sharing type well definitions.
Relabeled and new cash flow results
The label for CAPEX sum for development activities has been renamed
for greater clarity. In addition, development cash flow results at the
activity level make it possible to track the active values in the trial
browser.
HC outcome tree
A new Outcome tree in the Project section gives outcome estimates in
terms of HC reserves and complements the NPV Decision tree in the
Contractor section.

Nominal, real and success case results
Summary stochastic performance indicators have been expanded to
capture both nominal, real and success case performance (NPV, PI, IRR).
Differences reflect your definition of discount rates, HC product price
scenarios and inflation rate scenario.
EUR/well in Summary results
Summary results report on key performance indicators. These indicators
have been extended to cover EUR/well statistics.
New folder for Full cycle templates
For more effective management of Economic scenario, Fiscal Regime and
Well type templates these can now be organized in folders with at multiple
levels. This opens for a more detailed and customizable sub-division that
again allows a better use of the Approve functionality for the templates.
Fiscal regime attachments
Complete description of fiscal regime model assumptions is key, A new
fiscal regime attachment functions supports full documentation with
supporting documents in the GeoX database.
Excel reports
Make your own custom full cycle analysis reports. The Report template
editor has been extended to support custom Excel reporting of both
summary data and profiles in full cycle analyses.
Portfolio analysis tool
Production only portfolios
The new “production only” full cycle modelling is complemented with a
“production only” assessment of your exploration portfolio. Let’s you
focus on how well the portfolio can achieve your production goals.
Bubble chart portfolio composition
Want to check the composition of your portfolio? The bubble chart result
diagram gives a quick overview of the projects in the portfolio in terms of
chance of success, resources and NPV.

Resource diagram and PDF in scenario analyses
The new stochastic simulation improves the reporting in multiple scenario
analyses. A resource diagram shows the contribution of the different
scenarios to the success case volumes. All results now have probability
distributions in addition to exceedance probability curves.
About the Setup page
The Setup Analysis page is used to set up the procedure for estimating
resources and risks for the multiple scenario analysis.
Sample size [selection list or integer number] defines the number of
success case trials to be included in the Monte Carlo simulation.
Use initial seed [check] determines if the Monte Carlo simulation is to use
the seed defined in the initial seed number box.
Initial seed number box [integer] defines the initial seed used when use
initial check box has been checked.

About the Definition of the Scenario Set
The Definition page is used to define the scenario set. The scenario set is a
complete, mutually exclusive set of scenarios for the prospect (segment).
A full scenario set includes both a prospect (segment) analysis of risks and
resources and a full cycle analysis of the associated full cycle value of the
prospect (segment). A partial scenario set focuses risk and resource
assessments of the scenarios in the scenario set.
The scenario diagram displays the probability density function for each
scenario as well as for the probabilistic aggregate. There is a display for
each phase and for total resources (in OE/GE). You switch between the
displays by selecting the appropriate dial buttons. The minimum volume
and screening threshold volumes for each scenario is also displayed on
the OE/GE resources scenario diagram.
Note
•
If the scenarios are not calculated, then the scenario diagram is empty.
The scenario definition table shows the scenario attributes for each
scenario as well as any multiple scenario attributes that apply for the set.
Add used to enrol scenarios. The system opens a selector dialog on the
segment (prospect) analyses. Check the analyses to be included. Check
also attached full cycle analyses to get a complete scenario set.

About the Resource Diagram
The resource diagram provides a graphical picture of the composition of
the success case exceedance probability curve for the total recoverable (inplace) hydrocarbon resources [in OE or GE] in the prospect (segment).
There are three alternative representations: by total resources for each
prospect (segment) scenario, by HC products for the prospect (segment),
and by HC products for each prospect (segment) scenario.
Notes
•
The color bars are based on 100 trials in the Monte Carlo simulation
used to produce the estimates. The trials are evenly spaced after all
trials have been sorted in ascending order according to total resources
in OE or GE. For example, with a simulation run with 500 trials the
diagram displays the composition of total resources for every 5th trial.
•
The estimates in the Legend section (in square brackets) show the
success case mean estimates. In the case of the "by sceanrios" view,
the mean estimates are for the success outcomes for the scenario. To
see the basis for the estimate for each sceanario, select the resource
table view. Sample size for each scenario is typically less than the
sample size for the number of prospect success trials.

Launch GeoX from Command Line
Build applications where the application can open a GeoX analysis. Users
can for example select a segment in a map context, and the application can
launch the relevant corresponding segment analysis.
About Launching GeoX from Command Line
Launching a new GeoX instance and open analysis with id from command
line works with the following syntax:
visual.exe geox.im -analysis # -automaticLoginDefaultProfile
where
•
•
# is the analysis ID
-automaticLoginDefaultProfile is a swith
The -automaticLoginDefaultProfile switch can be omitted
from the command.
A user will automatically be logged in to GeoX without having to click the
OK button if the -automaticLoginDefaultProfile switch is
included. The user will be logged in with the default GeoX profile and it
requires that the Save password to personal INI file option is turned on, or
that Windows Authentication is used.
If GeoX is located in a folder called C:\Program Files (x86)\geox6\ and the
ID if the analysis you wish to open is 7 then use the following command
line:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\geox6\visual.exe"
"C:\Program Files (x86)\geox6\geox.im" -analysis 7
-automaticLoginDefaultProfile
This launches GeoX and opens the analysis:
Note
•
When using Windows authentication GeoX will be launched without
asking for a username and password. If you are not using Windows
authentication, then the user will be asked to enter username and
password before logging in.

External Table Lookup on MS SQL Server
Have GeoX relevant data in other databases? The GeoX external table
lookup function is now also available with SQL Server. The functionality
facilitates using external data in GeoX without needing to replicate the
data in the GeoX database. The facility can also be used for linking
Properties in GeoX to external tables.
About External Table Lookup
Enable the External table lookup from the System menu in GeoXplorer.
You have the option of choosing between SQL Server and Oracle as
database type.
Select the External data type (Nation, Block, License, BlockLicense,
Region, Chronostratigraphy, Lithostratigraphy, and Data Source 1 to 5).
Then select Database type (Oracle or SQL Server), check the Enable box,
and fill in the Lookup details.
The parameters in the Lookup details depend on the data type. The
external table you are connecting too needs to have the required columns.

Segment Analysis Tool
Recovery factor with direct total volume model
You can now get estimates of in-place volumes when using the direct total
field size volume model. By entering an estimate of the recovery factor,
the system back-calculates the corresponding in-place volumes on a trialby-trial basis.
The Setup of the Fluids page does not give any choice in terms of recovery
model (it has to be Recovery factors).
About Fluids Input Parameters for direct total resources
The Fluids page defines, together with the Volume page, the main inputs
for estimation in-place and recoverable resources at surface conditions.
The active fluids parameters are defined on the Fluids Setup page.
Gas Oil Ratio [Sm3/Sm3 or scf/STB] is the associated gas to oil ratio.
Condensate Yield [Sm3/million Sm3 or STB/million scf] is the yield of
condensate from wet gas.
Recovery Factor Oil [fraction or %] is the amount of oil in-place that can
be recovered.
Recovery Factor Assoc. Gas [fraction or %] is the amount of associated
gas in-place that can be recovered.

Well spacing and well density
Well spacing in the EUR/well recovery model can now either be defined
as area per well (well spacing) or as number of wells per unit of area (well
density).
In short, well spacing (area per well) = 1 /well density (wells per unit of
area).
For example, with a well density of 5 wells per km2 the corresponding
value for well spacing is 1/5 or 0.2 km2 per will.
About Fluids Setup
This page is used to select among the alternative representations of the
parameters that define HC resources at surface conditions as well as
associated products and recovery of hydrocarbons.
Fluids parameter models
This section is used to select between depth independent and depth
dependent definition of fluid parameters. With the depth dependent
definition, oil formation volume factor (Bo), gas formation volume factor
(Bg), the Gas Oil Ratio (GOR) and the condensate yield (CGR) are
modelled as a function of a stochastic reservoir depth estimate.
Formation factors and recovery factors.
There are two approaches to modelling parameters:
1. Direct entry of GOR, oil formation volume factor (Bo) or oil shrinkage
factor (1/Bo),and direct entry of either gas formation volume factor
Copyright © 2013 GeoKnowledge
Page 29
July 2013
What’s New in GeoX-6
(Bg) or gas expansion factor (1/Bg) as well as the recovery factors for
all hydrocarbon phases.
2. Indirect calculation of gas expansion, oil shrinkage and GOR from
pressure, temperature, and gravity. There is a sub-option to calculate
non-associated gas recovery factor from initial and abandonment
pressures.
With direct entry of formation volume factors, you can select whether to
use oil formation volume factor (Bo) OR use oil shrinkage factor (1/Bo).
You can separately select whether to use gas formation volume factor (Bg)
OR gas expansion (1/Bg).
Wet Gas Shrinkage
Used to model the change in the non-associated gas volume that occurs
when condensate is extracted from the gas flow-stream. There are two
alternative methods:
1. Direct entry of wet gas shrinkage factor.
2. Indirect calculation of the wet gas shrinkage factor as a function of
condensate yield.
Indirect calculation of wet gas shrinkage factor uses a proportionality
constant, Condensate Extraction Factor, to compute wet gas shrinkage as a
function of Condensate Yield:
Wet gas shrinkage = (1 – (Condensate Yield / Condensate Extraction
Factor)).
Dry Gas Shrinkage
This option is available when computing NGL, dry gas, and non-sales gas.
It is used to model the change in the associated and non-associated gas
volumes that occur when NGL is extracted from the gas flow-stream at a
gas plant. There are two alternative methods:
1. Direct entry of dry gas shrinkage factor.
2. Indirect calculation of dry gas shrinkage based on NGL yields.
Indirect calculation of dry gas shrinkage uses a proportionality constant,
NGL Extraction Factor, to relate dry gas shrinkage to NGL Yield.
Dry gas shrinkage = (1 – (NGL Yield / NGL Extraction Factor)).
Recoverable resources
There are two alternative methods for estimating recoverable resources
1. From in-place volumes, with recovery factors for each product.
2. From EUR (estimated ultimate recoverable) / well with an estimate of
number of wells
Number of wells can be defined using two alternative methods:

1. Wells density - number of wells per unit of area (per km2 or per 1000
acres)
2. Well spacing - space per well (km2 or acres)
Secondary Recovery Factors.
This option is available discovery analyses. The factors are used to model
secondary recovery volumes.
Notes

There are 6 depth related fluid parameters:
Original reservoir pressure (Pe) [bars or psi]
Reservoir temperature (T) [Deg K or R]
Gas-Oil Ratio (Rs) [ sm3/sm3 or scf/STB]
Oil Formation Factor (Bo) [sm3/sm3 or bbl/STB]
Gas Compressibility (Z) [real]
Condensate Yield (C) [sm3/1000 sm3 or STB/1000 scf]
These variables are modelled as a function of depth using one of four
different functional forms: Zoned linear, exponential, power and logarithmic.
Each function is expressed using two parameters A and B that describe the
depth gradient (A) and a constant (B). In the zoned linear there is a depth
parameter in addition to the A and B parameters for each zone.
Depth floor [m or feet] is an estimate of at what depth oil cracks into gas. It is
used to estimate the probability that the depth of reservoirs are below the
depth floor. This latter estimate affects the relative probability of oil and gas
accumulations.

Indirect calculation of oil shrinkage and GOR uses Standing
correlations. Inputs are saturation pressure, oil gravity, associated gas
gravity, and reservoir temperature.
Indirect calculation of gas expansion uses the Drunchuk-PurvisRobinson method to interpolate the Standing-Katz Z-factor curves.
Inputs are initial reservoir pressure, non-associated gas gravity, and
reservoir temperature. See calculation of Bg for details

Saturation Height Table/Function
Are you assessing low porosity or low relief structures? The new
saturation height functionality lets you capture the effects of transition
zones on average saturation. Use either direct entry of a saturation height
table or a lambda-type function to model the combined effects of height
and reservoir porosity.
About Volume Setup
This page is used to set up the options for alternative approaches to
modeling hydrocarbon pore volumes.
In addition to direct entry of estimates of hydrocarbon volumes (either for
each of the HC phases that might be active or in OE terms), there are four
basic (not depth dependent) approaches to estimating net rock volumes
where you enter:
•
•
•
•
Direct estimate of Net Rock Volume (NRV)
Direct estimate of Gross Rock Volume (GRV) and the Net/Gross ratio
Area of closure, reservoir thickness, a geometric factor and the
Net/Gross ratio
Area of closure, reservoir thickness, column height, closure length-towidth ratio, closure flat-top ratio and the Net/Gross ratio
There are five depth-dependent approaches where you enter estimates of
the Net/Gross ratio and:
•
•
A function that describes the relationship between depth and Gross
Rock Volume (GRV)
Reservoir thickness and a function that describes the relationship
between depth and closure area at top of reservoir

A function that describes the relationship between depth and closure
area at top of reservoir as well as reservoir thickness
A function that describes the relationship between depth and closure
area at top of reservoir as well as reservoir thickness. Reservoir
thickness is entered as constants. Uncertainty in reservoir thickness is
defined using a thickness uncertainty multiplier (TUM)
A function that describes the relationship between depth and closure
area at top of reservoir as well as closure area at base of reservoir
In addition to the direct specification of depths, there is an option for
indirect specification of depths using column heights. When using indirect
(column height) specification there is a need to enter the depth of the crest
of the structure.
In addition to the estimate of Net Rock Volume under closure, there is a
need to indicate how much of this volume is filled with hydrocarbons in
order to calculate the hydrocarbon pore volume.
In the non-depth dependent approaches, you enter an estimate of the
percentage of the Net Rock Volume under closure that is filled with
hydrocarbons (trap fill). In depth dependent methods you enter the HC
water contact (HCWC) depth as well as the depth of the closure’s spill
point .
In cases with multiple HC phases, you also need to indicate either the
share of HC pore volume that is free gas (non-depth dependent) or the gas
oil contact (GOC) depth (depth dependent with direct depth estimates).
For the case of indirect depth (column) specification, the alternative to
indicating the height of respectively the oil and the gas column is to enter
an estimate of the HC column height and the gas fraction of the HC
column.
The Net/Gross Ratio Estimation option is used to define whether the netto-gross ratio is entered directly or using two parameters. For the two
parameter selection, the input will be Net sand fraction (the fraction of the
GRV that is sand facies) and Net reservoir fraction (the fraction of the
sand that is of sufficient reservoir quality).
The Yield Estimation option is used to define whether a yield estimate is
entered directly or is calculated using estimates of porosity, saturation (and
trap fill).
You can either enter directly an estimate of average oil and gas saturation
or indirectly with an estimate of how water saturation varies above the
height hydrocarbon water contact.
The depth dependent HC pore volume parameter options determine
whether net-to-gross, porosity and saturation can vary with depth.

About Saturation Height Table page
Modeling option where saturation is a function of height above
hydrocarbon water contact. In the table you enter heights above water
contact and corresponding values for water saturation. The system uses
the function to calculate an average saturation in the hydrocarbon filled
portion of the structure.
Water saturation estimates are defined as constants. They can be flexed
using a saturation uncertainty height multiplier.
Height [meters or feet] is the height above the hydrocarbon water contact.
Water saturation [fraction or %] is the amount of interconnected pore
space that is filled with water at the corresponding height above the water
contact. Hydrocarbon saturation is 1 – water saturation.
Saturation uncertainty multiplier [fraction or %] is an uncertainty factor
that is applied to the water saturation estimate.
Note

The Saturation uncertainty multiplier can also be edited on the
Petrophysical Parameters tab.
You edit the saturation height table by using the commands below and
then double clicking on the entries. The double click opens a Parameter

About Petrophysical Parameters page
This volume page defines the petrophysical inputs for estimation of
hydrocarbon pore volume when using a depth dependent representation of
GRV and a saturation height table to define water saturation in the
transition zone.
Net/Gross Ratio [fraction or %] is the proportion of the reservoir thickness
made up of sand.
Note
•
When the 2-parameter Net/Gross model is chosen, then the Net/Gross
Ratio is replaced by two parameters: Net sand fraction [fraction or %]
is the fraction of the GRV that is of the desired facies; (net sand) /
(gross interval). Net reservoir fraction [fraction or %] is the fraction
of the desired facies that is of reservoir quality; (net reservoir rock) /
(net sand).
Porosity [fraction or %] is the amount of interconnected void space in the
reservoir rock.
Saturation uncertainty multiplier [fraction or %] is an uncertainty factor

About Saturation Height Function page
Modeling option where saturation is a function of both height above
hydrocarbon water contact and average porosity. The relationship is
modeled using a Lambda function with constants that are empirical
estimates obtained through curve-fitting from analogs.
The saturation height function uses the average porosity distribution
defined on the Petrophysical parameters tab. Mean and P90 – P10 values
from the distribution are shown in the legend box of the diagram
In addition to the estimates of the lambda function constant parameters,
there are two optional parameters:
Irreducible water saturation [decimal or %] is the level at which water
saturation becomes irreducible. The water saturation is clipped at this
value. If this parameter is not present, then the irreducible water saturation
is assumed to be 0.0.
Irreducible water saturation height [m or feet] is an optional parameter that
defines at what height the water saturation becomes equal to the
irreducible water saturation. The water saturation is equal to the
irreducible water saturation at this height and above.
The formula for the lambda function is
S w = m * exp( − n * Ø ) +

Where
Sw [decimal or %] is the water saturation or the percentage of the
interconnected pore space that is filled with water.
Ø [decimal or %] is the average porosity
Height [m or feet] is the height above the hydrocarbon water contact
The variables a, b, c, m and n are constants that are typically estimated
from empirical data in analog wells.
Using the lambda function
The GeoX lambda function consists of three main parts: One part (A)
defines primarily how water saturation varies with height above the water
contact.
PART _ A =
a
height b
A is the core lambda function element where b is the lambda coefficient.
The second part (B) defines the effect of porosity on water saturation.
PART _ B = m * exp( − n * Ø )
As we can see, the value of B is a decreasing function of porosity. The
constant m is used boost B while larger n values attenuate the effect of
porosity (Ø).
The last part, the parameter c, is an adjustment factor to control the overall
range of water saturation values.
You can obtain a “stripped” version of the saturation height function if you
put m = 0 to remove the effect of porosity, put c = 0 for no adjustment, a =
1 for direct application of the lambda function and

About Intermediate Results with Saturation Height
Presents estimates of intermediate results such as rock volumes,
hydrocarbon pore volume and calculated fluid parameters. The
intermediates displayed depend on the charge, volume and fluids models

Average Oil Saturation [decimal or %] is the saturation averaged over the
transition zone above the oil water contact and the remainder of the oil
bearing rock volume in the structure.

Dual Porosity
Single segment implementation of dual porosity makes analysis both faster
and less error prone. Intermediate results indicate matrix and fracture
volumes for immediate verification of results.
The implementation of Dual porosity functionality consists of the division
of the calculation of the Total Net Rock Volume in: Fractured Net Rock
volume and Matrix Net Rock Volume. With the new Dual porosity
capability in GeoX 6 there is possible to split up porosities, saturations,
and recovery factor for matrix and fractured element in the same reservoir
using one segment analysis.
About HC fluids modeling SETUP
Is used to indicate what HC phases are active in the segment analysis. If
your GeoX license also includes the unconventional resource option, this
page alternatively sets up either a shale gas or coal bed methane (CBM)
segment analysis.
The choice of HC phase defines the relevant subset of input parameters
that are active on the Volume and Reservoir Input pages. Together with
the HC fluids modelling set-up and the reservoir set-up, these setups define
the active parameter set in the segment analysis.
The "oil, gas, OR oil and gas" option defines a case where mutually
exclusive alternative HC phase scenarios are active. If the HC phase
risking option is active in the risk model, then you enter the relative
probability of the different phase outcomes on the HC phase risking subpage of the Risk Input page.

Use of the HC product scenario requires that the HC phase risking is
checked in your risk model.
The Marketable section defines what products are marketable. The
selection is used to calculate the total marketable resource estimates
presented on the Summary results page.
The “Shale gas” and “Coal bed methane CBM” options define the case
where the segment analysis volume and fluids pages are set up to model
the adsorbed gas component and free gas component for respectively a
shale gas or a coal bed methane (CBM) asset. The volume page supports
solely simple area_and_thickness slab models for GRV.
The check box for Volumes Charged is used to activate estimation of the
volumes of oil or gas that are charged to the segment. When the box is
checked, the system adds a notebook input Charge page.
The check box for Dual porosity is used to activate the estimation of the
volume of oil or gas that are associated to matrix or fractured portion of
the reservoir. When the box is checked, the system adds the option in
volume setup page for splitting the Saturation and Porosity for matrix and
fracture as well as Recovery Factor for Oil and Associated Gas of the two
components respectively.
The check box for Computation of Dry Gas, NGL and Non Sales Gas is
used to extend the estimation model with parameters to compute in-place
and recoverable NGL and dry gas in addition to the percentage of the dry
or natural gas that cannot be sold due to higher levels of inerts, nonhydrocarbon gases, or hydrogen sulphide.

New Bayesian Risk Modification Procedure
The existing Bayesian Risk Modification (BRM) procedure for handling
seismic anomalies (DFI’s) has been extended to produce BRM chance
estimates for each risk factor.
About Risk
This page is used to define the estimates of shared play and conditional
segment risk (chance) factors that control the geological success of the
segment. The estimates are entered in a Parameter Input Panel that is
opened by double-clicking on the appropriate cell on the Risk page.
The "DFI is applicable in segment" check box is used to activate DFI risk
modification. The check box is available if your risk model has been
configured with DFI risking.
The “HC phase risking” check box is used to activate HC phase scenarios
where you can model the probabilities of respectively an oil case, a gas
case, or an oil leg and gas cap case.

failure oil (such as heavy oil) given that the segment is an oil

P(Failure Gas) [decimal or %] is the conditional probability of finding
failure gas given that the segment is a gas accumulation.
P(Failure Oil&Gas) [decimal or %] is the conditional probability of

The probabilities are re-normalized by the software such that the total
failure HC probability matches the geological probability of failure HC,
i.e. P(fail HC) = P(success fluids) * P(eval. Res.) * (1-P(HC quality)).
This implies that if HC quality is not present in the risk model, the failure
HC probabilities will not be used in the computation.
The computations of the different success and failure scenarios are as
follows:
1) P(oil) = P(success oil) + P(failure oil)
2) P(gas) = P(success gas) + P(failure gas)
2) P(oil+gas) = P(success oil+gas) + P(failure oil+gas)

P(Water) [decimal or %] is the conditional probability of finding water given that
the segment is not a hydrocarbons accumulation.
P(Low Saturation Gas) [decimal or %] is the conditional probability of finding low
saturation gas given that the segment is not a hydrocarbons accumulation.
P(Other) [decimal or percentage] is the conditional probability of finding some
other failure fluid other than water or low saturation gas given that the segment is
not a hydrocarbons accumulation.

probability of occurrence of the observed indicator(s) given that the
segment is a other fluids accumulation with the success (evaluated)
reservoir.
Notes
•
•
•
The likelihoods of the cases defined with 0.0 probability of
occurrence in the Initial Fluids and Reservoir Probability page will
not be present in the DFI assessment page.
The DFI risking is only available if the DFI risking option has been
selected in the risk model. The DFI option is set using the Risk
Model editor.
The differential between the conditional probability estimates
entered influences how much the DFI affects the DFI adjusted
probability of finding hydrocarbons. If all the conditional
probabilities of the indicator are identical, then there is no
adjustment of the chance of success; if the conditional probability
of the indicator given the success case is much larger than the
conditional probability of the indicator given the failure case, then
there can be a significant upwards adjustment of the chance of
success.

Prospect Analysis Tool
Merge of prospect analyses
You can now build rapidly analyses of multiple prospects: You enrol
multiple prospect analyses in a single prospect analysis. Enrol merges the
different prospect analyses with all their dependency, correlation and leak
definitions. The resulting analysis of the “mega” prospect can be edited
with all the functionality of a standard prospect analysis.
The new merge functionality is useful for doing aggregates of prospects in
an area, building analyses of clusters of prospects and for incremental
prospect modelling.
The overall workflow can be defined as follows:
1. Create two or more prospect analyses (e.g. A and B) with their
respective segment, risk dependencies, leak connections
2. Create a new prospect analysis (e.g. C1)
3. Enrol the two prospect analyses (A and B) in C
4. Define additional relationships in C between segments A and B
5. Calc and save C
Note

The link between the prospect analyses that have been added to a new
prospect analysis is not active. To update the mega prospect analysis
when there are changes in the enrolled prospect analyses requires that
you first remove the enrolled prospect and then re-enrol it.
C can also have its own segments (segment analyses)

About the Risk and Volume dependency group panel
The Risk and Volume dependency group panel is opened on the relevant
risk and/or volume dependency type.
Note
•
The label and number of risk and/or volume dependency types are
defined in your customized risk model. Typical types are reservoir
presence, reservoir quality, trap, seal, source and migration. Check
with your GeoX coordinator for more details.
Name is a short distinctive label for the risk dependency group. It can
often be the attribute or aspect of the prospect that defines the basis for the
grouping of segments in risk dependency groups.
Risk dependency can be defined either via a shared probability for the
segments in the risk dependency group or via Max correlation. The latter
is equivalent to doing nested risk dependency groups for the segments in
the risk dependency group.
P(shared) is the probability of adequacy of the shared geological control
for the risk dependency groups that you have already defined.

group.
P(segment | play ) is the conditional segment risk given (shared) play risks
for each segment for the dependency group risk factor.
P(conditional ) is the conditional segment risk for the risk factor given the
shared risk
Risk [check box] is used to indicate the segments that are in the risk
dependency group.
Volume [check box] is used to indicate the segments that are in the volume
dependency group. The lower panel indicates the parameters that are
correlated when the segments are included in the volume dependency

DFI dependency
A new DFI dependency concept complements the enhanced Bayesian Risk
Modification procedure at the segment level. DFI dependency groups
with associated correlation can be used to model the amount of
information provided by seismic anomalies on multiple segments in a
prospect. Prospect analyses with DFI can now be run with full cycle
analyses and can be aggregated.

About the DFI dependency group panel
The DFI dependency group panel is used to define or edit the DFI between
segments in a DFI dependency group. The DFI correlation factor is set to
a value between 0 and a maximum value.
Name is a short distinctive label for the DFI dependency group. It can
often be the attribute or aspect of the prospect that defines the basis for the
grouping of segments in DFI dependency groups.
Default (suggested) DFI correlation value is the average of all the
geological risk dependencies between any two segments enrolled in the
DFI dependency group. The default value can be overwritten by ticking on
the “overwrite default” box.
Overwrite default checkbox is used to indicate that the system should use
a correlation value different from the suggested (default) value. A slide
bar indicates the permissible range: 0 to Maximum value.
Maximum DFI correlation value reflects the maximum geological risk
dependency between any two segments in the DFI dependency group. The
system automatically constrains the DFI correlation parameter once you
have checked the segments to be included in the DFI dependency group.

Full Cycle Analysis Tool
Production-only full cycle models
The new “Production only” option supports rapid and simple modelling of
full cycle projects. You do not need to enter cost and fiscal data. The
system limits result estimates to production (profiles and summary
performance indicators). The option is set on the Setup page by
unchecking the “Calculate costs and fiscals” check box.
About Setup
The Setup page is used to set up the number of trials in the simulation and
the initial seed for the series of pseudo-random numbers used to sample
the input distributions. The Setup page defines project parameters such as
discount rate and discount date, and also allows you to run Full Cycle
analysis without cost and fiscal inputs.
Checking the “Use initial seed” check box assures that the simulation will
always start from the same initial seed. Given the same initial seed and the
same inputs, the system will generate the same set of pseudo-random
numbers and therefore also generate the same results.
The project start date controls the reporting of results: results are reported
from the year that corresponds to the project start date.
The net present value date defines the date that cash flows are discounted
to. The net present value calculation ignores cash flows prior to the net
present value date (year).
Discount rate [%] defines the discount rate used to compute net present
values.

New folder structure for Full cycle templates
Multiple-level folders provide more effective management of Economic
scenario, Fiscal Regime and Well type templates. You can now define a
more detailed and customizable sub-division of the templates. This opens
for more systematic use of the Approve functionality and improved quality
assurance of your templates library.
The Economic scenarios, Fiscal regimes and Well type templates are
created within a subfolder of the respective directories on the Templates
tab of the GeoXplorer.
About GeoXplorer Templates
There are two types of templates: Templates for analyses and templates
with data that can be used in full cycle analyses.
Analysis templates are used to facilitate and guide the definition of
analyses. There are templates for undrilled segment, discovery segment,
dry segment, well target, play and play area yield analyses. These
templates are presented when you create a new analysis. Typically the
templates reflect your company best practices and preferences.
There are three types of full cycle analysis templates: for economic
scenarios, for fiscal regimes and for well types. These template analyses
can be loaded into your full cycle analysis.
The sub folders for the full cycle analysis templates are created by rightclicking on one of the three template folders.

The results organize into three different categories: Attributes related to
Summary results (such as NPV, IRR, etc); attributes related to profiles
(such as HC production profiles, cash flow profiles); and attributes related
to economic scenarios (such as oil price, gas price, cost inflation).

Illustrative Example – Contractor Profile
Consider reporting the mean Contractor Net Cash Flow After Income Tax
profile. This is found under Contractor Results – Net cash flow after
income tax.
To get the corresponding Years, you add in a mapping for Years.

Reserve tracker
Project based classification
Classifications are now 100% project based where by definition all
resources in a project belong to one resource class. RT provides three
inter-related views: Projects, Assets and Entitlements.
Mixed deterministic and stochastic classification
You can now combine stochastic classification and deterministic
classification in one classification model. For example, prospective
resources can use stochastic classes while contingent resources and
reserves can use deterministic classes. Resources are booked on projects
in a project-assets-entitlements framework.
About RT and How to Use RT
RT will be released with GeoX 6.1. The What’s New in GeoX 6.1 will be
devoted to describing in detail how to use the new RT.
