Likelihood to Recommend There are really only 2 tools in industry that have the function of geoSCOUT (the other being Accumap.) Both are similar. I'd recommend geoSCOUT for project/area specific work. I'd recommend Accumap for start-up companies who are trying to establish their 'playground' as it's easier to navigate province wide assets, whereas new maps are required for geoSCOUT.
Read full review I can not say where "it is or is not appropriate" in general terms, because you do not have experience in all fields of application of the program. But if you can note that within the areas where it has been applied and where better results have been obtained, it is when the results have been integrated with programs such as the ARGIS, specifically through the map module, obtaining simultaneous general visualizations of different variables. Where lower quality results have been obtained, it is when the intention is to generate contour maps with relatively little information, through the use of interpolation algorithms. I have done tests where I have results with a good amount of information and I try that the program, after removing information selectively, I generate new surfaces, in order to see how sensitive is the generated surface to the amount of information available. The results are similar to those obtained with other software that can also generate the desired surfaces.
Read full review Pros Well ticket information. Spatial analysis. Query effectiveness. Read full review It is an integral tool that allows linking information from different disciplines. The software allows the projects it manages to be stored anywhere in the network where it is working, including storage devices that are connected to the network itself. The integrity of the data is high, while the search engine and associated quality control maximize the degree of manageability of the data, even when the project is large. Read full review Cons Cross sections are not always that visually appealing. Cross sections from Petrel look much better. Read full review It suffers from what happens to most software of this type: the resolution of isolines that define points or surfaces of the same characteristic (for example, equal depth, or the same degree of hardness), depend a lot on the interpolation algorithm that the software is selected or used directly, so in general the characteristics of these surfaces do not reliably characterize the actual conditions being studied. The use of this software, in particular, is limited to machines that operate with 64-bit processors. Read full review Alternatives Considered Accumap is also a similar tool. The two tools contain the same information, although geoSCOUT has extra modules which have been somewhat useful. For the most part, engineers pull raw production, completions and facilities data. geoSCOUT is better for visualizing plans and allowing toggling of different considerations using the layer manager.
Read full review The named software may have the same or higher capacity than the revised one, as far as the analysis of the data is concerned, but they do not have the capacity of visual representation that the GeoGraphix has. The interesting thing is to use the best of the different software. You can analyze with one and import the data to the GeoGraphix to make the analyzes on the platform of this one.
Read full review Return on Investment Allowed for efficient information gathering thereby decreasing turnaround time on projects. Helpful for competitor analysis. Read full review It has enlarged the size of the study area due to its great data handling capacity. It has increased the possibility of recreating and posing different scenarios, as well as the sensitivity of these to changes in the values of any of the parameters involved. The speed with which you can obtain results for different study scenarios has also increased. Read full review ScreenShots
