ERC Tigress adds cross section modeling, charge calculator to Hedera(TM).HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 12, 1995--ERC Tigress, Inc., a member of the PGS PGS Pages PGS Petroleum Geo-Services PGS Planning Gain Supplement (UK land tax) PGS Parallel Giant Slalom (skiing and snowboarding competitions) PGS Plant Genetic Systems (Belgium) group (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on : PGSAY), Tuesday announced the release of Hedera 3.0, an update that adds cross-section model and charge calculator applications to the UNIX UNIX Operating system for digital computers, developed by Ken Thompson of Bell Laboratories in 1969. It was initially designed for a single user (the name was a pun on the earlier operating system Multics). (TM)-based basin modeling software for exploration geologists and geochemists and their support staffs assessing exploration risk. "The interactive abilities of Hedera's cross section model will allow a wider variety of users to visualize and simulate basin cross sections," said R. Wayne Carpenter, president of ERC (database) ERC - An extended entity-relationship model. Tigress. "The update offers a rich data model, including facies facies /fa·ci·es/ (fa´she-ez) pl. fa´cies [L.] 1. the face. 2. surface; the outer aspect of a body part or organ. 3. expression (1). variations, to provide detailed modeling of geological variations for realistic assessments of basin potential. "The full range of thermal, maturity and generation modeling options, as well as the on-line reference libraries of parameters, allows flexibility and sensitivity modeling that identifies hydrocarbon potential based on risk," he said. The cross section application integrates completely with the Hedera well model so that data can be shared online to gain access to results quickly, yet offers the security of a commercial database management system. "Users can assess charge risks of prospects and plays fast through the interactive calculation of hydrocarbon source and trap fill spill sequences in the Hedera Charge Calculator," said Martin Dawson, Hedera's Product Manager. Built-in calculations for volumetrics and hydrocarbon phases consider migration losses and trap type for easy-to-understand modeling based on different source and trap scenarios. Hedera provides a full range of stratigraphic stra·tig·ra·phy n. The study of rock strata, especially the distribution, deposition, and age of sedimentary rocks. strat , thermal, maturity, hydrocarbon and mass balance models for assessing exploration risk. ERC Tigress developed Hedera jointly with the Petroleum Science and Technology Institute, supported by sponsorship from the Offshore Supplies office and Amerada Hess UK Ltd. The 1.3 million (British Pounds) software project has been created by a specialist team in conjunction with six universities in the United Kingdom “British Universities” redirects here.
