What StrataMagnetic Software, LLC is about ...

We specialize in formation testing, rheology, MWD telemetry, electromagnetic analysis and reservoir engineering, and develop easy-to-use but powerful mathematical models for exploration and production. Our methods are rigorous, carefully validated and documented, and replace the often inaccurate "me too" products offered by competitors.

Can't wait ... tell me more right now!

StrataMagnetic Software, LLC, is completely open about its technology. We'll answer all of your questions, e.g., theory, numerical modeling, lab and field validation, and software architecture, in all the detail you want.

And we'll address competitor strengths and limitations honestly. We've published papers, won patents, written books, developed test facilities and consulted with leading companies worldwide in multiple disciplines.

In particular ...

• Managed pressure drilling. Our annular flow models, among the industry's most advanced, have contributed to Halliburton's OptiCem, to BakerHughes Inteq's Advantage, to Brown and Root's pipeline debris models, to Halliburton's new Displace 3D transient, multiphase, cement-spacer-mud simulation system, and others.

  These build upon work described in the books Borehole Flow Modeling in Horizontal, Deviated and Vertical Wells (Gulf Publishing, 1992) and Computational Rheology for Pipeline and Annular Flow (Elsevier, 2001).

  Importantly, significant improvements to all are now available to the petroleum community, funded by a key half-million dollar award from the United States Department of Energy during 2010-2011.

• Measurement-While-Drilling (MWD). Why are mud pulse data rates so low? High torque sirens, downhole and uphole wave cancellations, tool erosion and other problem areas are never discussed by oil service companies. Read about these in the industry's only book MWD Signal Analysis, Optimization and Design (E&P Press, 2011) on the subject.

  An early leader in wind tunnel analysis for MWD pulser design, Mr. Chin honed his skills at Schlumberger as Supervisor, MWD, patenting its non-jamming "stable-open, rotor downstream" siren, and later, as Manager, MWD FasTalk at Halliburton, patented innovative methods like signal enhancement by constructive interference and wave-equation-based multiple transducer signal processing.

  Mr. Chin pioneered wind tunnel usage at Schlumberger, went on to design short and long wind tunnel systems at Hallibuton, and more recently, led the overall R&D effort for high-data-rate MWD at China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC) in Beijing.

  Write today for your free AADE paper and Powerpoint describing the CNPC system. And right now, we're working with leading service companies to enhance their MWD products, increase low data rates and reduce high levels of erosion ... and importantly, at cost and time efficiencies they never thought possible!

  Whether you're an old hand at MWD or a newcomer breaking into this fast-paced arena, you need to talk to StrataMagnetic Software, LLC today. Arrange a "must see" presentation loaded with case studies, different downhole tools and hardware prototypes, numerous photographs and interesting movies today!

• Formation testing. We developed Halliburton's pressure transient interpretation algorithms for permeability and anisotropy, and later, its transient multiphase job-planning models for cleanup and pressure analysis. They're commercial, and they're money makers.

  So what does one do for an encore? In 2005, we won two Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grants from the United States Department of Energy to extend our already powerful models. That's two out of approximately two hundred awards for all areas in energy research.

  Existing commercial models are notably inaccurate ... what's more, they're expensive and proprietary. Order our formation testing book for the complete story ... and better, use our state-of-the-art simulators to uncover formation evaluation information our competitors can't.

• Three-dimensional electrodynamics. Thin-layered media, general dip angles, charge polarization at interfaces, metal mandrels, tilted transmitter and receiver coils, hole eccentricity and conductive mud.

  A modeling nightmare ... but yet, we published the first paper on the subject in China's Well Logging Technology journal back in 2000. The model, rigorous, fast and stable, ideally simulates modern triaxial induction tools in their grand complexity, and has been licensed to Geoservices, COSL and others.

  Write for our e/m publications today and learn more about our innovative math modeling and software platforms. As usual, we're open about our methods, and we'll work with you to develop the best simulators possible for tool design and interpretation.
