Blueback Reservoir, a fast growing technology company specializing in providing Ocean* plug-ins and 3D geomodeling services for the global oil & gas exploration and production industry, declared the release of the Blueback Toolbox v11.

The Blueback Toolbox suite of Petrel* plug-ins contains Petrel functionality features not available in standard Petrel. The Blueback Toolbox suite now contains 5 different modules: Geology Toolbox, Geophysics Toolbox, Project Management Toolbox, Reservoir Engineering Toolbox and the new Seismic Reservoir Characterization Toolbox.

The Blueback Seismic Reservoir Characterization Toolbox delivers high-end geophysics tools to assist in reservoir characterization. The current content focuses on estimating seismic net pay for thin-bedded reservoirs and classification of seismic data using AVO analysis to help identify hydrocarbons.

The functionality ranges from the seismic net pay workflow, as presented by Connelly (2007), AVO seismic classification and functionality for creating connected volumes of your extracted seismic attribute bodies. The Seismic net pay workflow involves a series of steps from analyzing the AI-GI gradient, through colored inversion and the creation of seismic net pay maps.

“We are very proud to announce the release of the 11th Blueback Toolbox version. The continued success of this Petrel plug-in product is a great inspiration to us, and we will in 2012 add more development resources to help Schlumberger clients maximize their Petrel investments. The Blueback Toolbox v11 is another excellent example of our rapid turnaround time for delivering new Petrel functionality using the Ocean* development platform for Petrel. At Blueback, we are committed to continue our investments in developing Petrel plug-ins – watch this space!” said Paul Hovdenak, Software Portfolio Manager at Blueback Reservoir.
