Meet Ava® Clastics

Although it’s widely considered best practice to use analogue data in facies models, the process is time consuming, somewhat subjective, and highly variable depending on domain expertise.

Using our proprietary GeoCypher™ logic, a technology jointly developed with the University of Leeds, Ava Clastics analogue database and clastic sedimentology software transforms analogues into the parameters required for facies modelling algorithms, and delivers them directly to applications like Petrel* E&P software platform. We designed Ava Clastics to seamlessly inform reservoir models, so asset teams can quickly assess the impact of incorporating high-quality analogue information.

Databases

At the heart of Ava Clastics are a collection of world-class sedimentological analogue databases commercially offered by PDS Group, including FAKTS, SMAKS and soon, DMAKS. These databases, created by the University of Leeds, encapsulate many years of research and scientific rigour, and were created so geoscientists could rapidly incorporate and reference analogues in their workflows.

Ava Clastics makes them accessible and transforms the data into actionable insights.

GeoCypher^TM Logic

Ava® Clastics analogue database and clastic sedimentology software includes transformation technology, GeoCypher™ logic, that converts a Depositional Concept into recommended parameters for use in facies modelling algorithms. Based on your query of the analogue databases, GeoCypher logic analyses the available resources and automatically transforms the analogues into dimensions for attributes like amplitude, wavelength, thickness and width. The technology is designed to eliminate the tedious and manual conversions of conventional analogue database presentation - saving you time and creating consistency in your team’s modelling workflow.
