Paradigm Posts Scientific Challenge to InnoCentive's Open Innovation Approach Seeks New Advanced Method for 3D Fracture Net Representation

11/19/2008

Paradigm, a provider of enterprise software solutions to the global oil and natural gas exploration and production (E&P) industry, announces that it has posted a scientific challenge to InnoCentive's Open Innovation Marketplace. Paradigm's challenge prompts InnoCentive's Solver community to develop an advanced approach to fracture net representation. The announcement was made at the 78th Annual Meeting of the Society of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG) in Las Vegas.



ebizQ received the following:

Paradigm's challenge specifically targets a unique new ability to combine fault interpretation picks (vectors) to form high-performance representations of 3D fracture networks. Paradigm's advanced 3D fracture net representation would enable easier facilitation geometric inquiries, on displacements at fault locations and in aggregate and topological tests, on connectedness.


What happens when you combine BI, BPM and BRE? The answer is right here.

"Paradigm has a history of open innovation that shaped, and continues to shape, its product line for over 20 years," said Duane Dopkin, Paradigm senior vice president of technology. "About 15 years ago, we instituted a program which allowed oil industry geophysicists to contribute algorithms effectively 'etching' their signature on a global and commercially available system. By working with InnoCentive today, Paradigm is again challenging the broader E&P community to recognize open innovation as a viable and desirable approach to accelerate advanced technology development for the oil and gas industry."

Paradigm signed a contract with InnoCentive in October 2008 to augment internal technology development and accelerate innovation delivery to the industry. The company plans on posting additional critical high-priority challenges on InnoCentive for open innovation. The agreement connects Paradigm's science and technology experts with InnoCentive's global network of "Solvers," a community of progressive physicists, chemists, mathematicians, and other scientists.
