P2 Energy Solutions (P2ES) has released Enterprise Land (EL) 2.0. Enterprise Land deploys a services oriented, component based architecture to manage land assets. Adaptors allow the software to exchange data with data sources such as SAP, Oracle eBusiness Suite and other P2 ES products. EL2.0’s development was supported by an advisory board including representatives from 13 major oil and gas companies.

EnergySolutions has released PipelineStudio 3.1 for oil and gas pipeline engineering design and simulation. The new release enables reuse of PipelineStudio simulation data in XML on the corporate server. PipelineStudio provides JavaScript and HTML code for rapid development and custom reporting. An embedded browser allows for review of data inside PipelineStudio.

Fugro-Jason has released two new packages this month, FastTracker and RockScale – both in their 7.2 release. The FastTracker reservoir modeler enables users to revise, add and update ‘anything, anywhere’ in the model with on-the-fly, automated model re-build. FastTracker integrates structural modeling, reservoir property modeling, upscaling, and direct connections to flow simulators. New functions in RockScale, the seismic-based rock property modeler, include ‘rigorous seismic-based, quantitative rock property volumes in 3D reservoir models.’

The 6.2 release of Geomodeling’s VisualVoxAt package introduces a ‘geobody paintbrush,’ that lets users ‘paint stratigraphic sequences, play concepts and geomorphology on time and strata slices.’ The results can be fed into cross-plots or neural networks for further work such as connectivity analysis and volumetrics.
