Software, hardware short takes

New releases, upgrades from Dataiku, East Daley Analytics, Engineering Director, Exprodat, Getech, Golden Software, Opto22, IOGP, Information Services Group, Ikon Science, Inductive Automation, Kahuna, LuciadLightspeed, NASA, Nanoprecise and Opto22.

The 12.2 release of Dataiku’s eponymous machine learning platform now supports integration with external models deployed on AWS Sagemaker, Azure ML and Google Vertex.

East Daley Analytics’ next generation Energy Data Studio leverages its proprietary US energy infrastructure asset database to help users identify, understand, and monitor operational risk. EDS covers natural gas, crude, NGLs and midstream company financials.

Engineering Director Inc. (EDI) with partner AtmosphericIQ have launched SpecDoctor, an AI-based toolset for the management of corrosion-related challenges. SpecDoctor provides information about ISO 12944 and ISO 9223 compliance and a range of general corrosion subjects, including key topics such as underground pipeline corrosion, cathodic protection systems and stress corrosion cracking.

The 3.1 version of Exprodat’s Unconventionals Analyst, an Esri ArcGIS Pro extension, interactively generates gun barrel plots across key wells and geological intervals, automating the creation of drill spacing units. A new tool calculates working interests across multiple wells at the same time.

The 2023 edition of Getech Globe combines proprietary computational modelling and machine learning with Getech’s geoscientific expertise to facilitate resource exploration opportunities. The new release introduces numerous features aimed at enhancing mineral location efforts – such as a new dynamic plate model, enhanced paleogeographies and extended palaeosurface geology coverage. Updated 2D gravity and magnetic models assist in identifying the depth and location of ultramafic bodies, thought to be the source rocks naturally occurring ‘white’ hydrogen.

A new Surfer from Golden Software expands its 3D subsurface data visualization capabilities with a broader selection of easy-to-apply tools to grid, map, and view their well, drillhole, and borehole data sets. The latest Surfer builds on 4D gridding and visualization capabilities that support a fourth variable, such as contaminant or chemical concentration, along with traditional X, Y and Z values.

Opto22’s Groov RIO 3.5 firmware update includes a new CODESYS runtime engine. Users can now build and run a control program in CODESYS using one of the IEC 61131-3 compliant languages. RIO 3.5 also offers Sparkplug-compatible certification.

Tripod Lite from IOGP, the International Oil and Gas Producers’ association, is a ‘lightweight’ investigation tool to quickly investigate safety incidents. The tool was developed by the Tripod Foundation and Energy Institute in 2021. Following testing in 2022, Tripod is now published free of charge.

Information Services Group’s Provider Lens study evaluates services and solutions providers to help oil and gas companies achieve digital innovation and operational efficiency. The new report, ‘Oil and Gas Industry — Services and Solutions’ is scheduled to be released in November and will evaluate services including enterprise asset management, next-gen information technology and operational technology services and capital projects management.

Ikon Science has added ‘breakthrough’ resistivity-based pore pressure prediction capability to RokDoc 2023.4. Traditional porosity models fall short when dealing with shale formations, the integration of resistivity data, temperature, salinity and clay fraction is said to deliver more accuracy in those geological settings for pre-drill and real-time monitoring. A redesigned ‘Blocky AVO modeler’ offers geoscientists new intuitive multi-well, scenario and uncertainty analysis capabilities. The new version of Ikon’s Curate subsurface data management platform allows for bulk ingestion of large (10GB) datasets, ‘saving time and simplifying workflows’.

Inductive Automation’s latest Cloud Edition is now available in the Microsoft Azure Marketplace. The pay-as-you-go solution extends on-premises data and enterprise operations and works alongside the standard Ignition platform and Ignition Edge, ‘creating a fully integrated and scalable system’. The new edition embeds MQTT functionality from Cirrus Link Solutions. More from Inductive Automation.

A new release of Kahuna Workforce Solutions’ operational skills management software is said to bring a new user experience for its flagship product in the form of an enhanced GUI and improved usability.

LuciadLightspeed Hexagon’s Safety, Infrastructure & Geospatial division’s advanced geospatial analytics toolset for desktop and onboard applications is said to provide a foundation for advanced geospatial analysis application development. A configurable API provides support for custom data sources and comes with ‘Lucy’, a ‘ready-to-use application framework’ with drag and drop connectivity to over 200 data formats. More in the new Lightspeed brochure.

A new NASA software catalog lists free programs for earth science including atmospheric modeling, geospatial disaster response and a cloud-based toolkit for collaboration between earth science researchers. The catalog also contains a platform for interactive browsing of near-real-time satellite imagery to help with time-critical scenarios and disaster response. Use of some software may be limited US citizens.

Nanoprecise Sci Corp has announced the ‘world’s first’ light energy harvesting predictive maintenance sensor. MachineDoctor LUX is a Zone 0-compliant device that draws power from ambient light sources, eliminating the need for battery replacement. An up to 10 year lifespan is claimed for the cellular-connected device. More from Nanoprecise.

Opto22’s NodeRed 3.0 is said to be a milestone release with notably a ‘welcome tour’ of the main additions. Check them out on the NodeRed blog.
