Malcom software

Malcom is an interactive software product developed by Schlumberger designed for evaluating reservoir fluids and source rock properties, geochemical data analysis, and interpretation for the E&P industry.

The software allows seamless processing and interpretation of geochemical data, enabling the integration of all geochemical data to describe advanced oil system properties. This helps identify reservoir fluid sources, reservoir connectivity, and production evolution over time.

 

Malcom users can seamlessly integrate geochemical data from the field to the lab and office to interpret critical fluid and rock properties, supporting decision-making for field development, exploration objectives, and production strategies.

Malcom – Schlumberger

Malcom is an interactive fluid description software designed for evaluating reservoir fluids and source rocks, analyzing geochemical data, and interpreting them for the E&P industry. The software enables seamless access to and integration of geochemical data, providing advanced descriptions of the oil system to identify fluid sources, reservoir connectivity, and production evolution over time.

Users of Malcom can integrate geochemical data from the field to the laboratory and office to interpret crucial properties of rocks and fluids that affect decision-making processes for field development, exploration goals, and production strategies.

Geochemistry can be applied throughout the lifecycle of a field: exploration, evaluation, development, production, and abandonment. The software processes gas chromatography data (GC-FID, GC-MS, GC-MS-MS, GC-2D, etc.) from various suppliers, offering geochemical engineering solutions. Comparing GC fingerprints of oil, biomarker information, reservoir connectivity, reservoir size estimation, and production allocation are some of the key features.

With Malcom, you get a complete suite of tools within a single program to process chromatography data and perform embedded statistical calculations, offering quick data interpretation.

Main Benefits:

• Efficiency: Achieve simultaneous, automated processing and interpretation of multiple data samples.
• Reproducibility: Improve reproducibility and repeatability of gas chromatography data processing by synchronizing baseline and peak areas.
• Accuracy: Utilize strong theoretical background and statistical methods in your results.
• Scalability: Extend Malcom software by integrating your analytical workflows with Python scripting.

The Software is Comprised of Four Modules:

1. Core: Used for processing and visualizing primary reservoir fluid data such as GC and GC-MS data.
2. PARC: Used for assessing reservoir fluid properties such as boiling point, density, and viscosity.
3. GeDI: Used for interpreting geochemical data, including organic and inorganic compositions.
4. Workflow Builder: Used for creating custom workflows for processing and interpreting geochemical data.

Malcom in Various Oil and Gas Industries:

• Identifying and evaluating oil and gas resources.
• Developing reservoir models.
• Predicting well performance.
• Reducing environmental hazards.
