Novi's New Prediction Engine Accelerates Modeling of Well Design, Capital Allocation, and Production Performance

THE WOODLANDS, Texas, Feb. 4, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Novi Labs ("Novi") announces the release of Novi Prediction Engine™, a new self-service software capability that enables rapid modeling of oil & gas capital allocation scenarios in minutes. It was built to add efficiency and scale by simplifying the creation of "what if" scenarios that are key to reducing risks associated with maximizing return on capital and net asset value.

Novi Prediction Engine utilizes machine learning to automate resource intensive capital allocation scenarios while delivering more accurate forecasts of well performance based on a wide variety of inputs. It enables parallel testing of spacing, stacking and stimulation intensity scenarios. This optimizes capital allocation, asset value, and enables rapid analysis of acquisition and divestiture opportunities. The announcement was made at the SPE Hydraulic Fracturing Technology Conference (HFTC) taking place this week in The Woodlands, Texas. Media and other HFTC attendees are invited to visit Novi's booth for more information about its latest product innovation. A video demonstration of Novi Prediction Engine is also available in the Resource Library section of the Novi website at http://www.novilabs.com/prediction-engine-release.

Since its inception, Novi's cloud-based well planning solution has enabled engineering and planning teams to predict oil & gas recovery utilizing machine learning. Novi's core platform is built on machine learning pipelines that leverage a variety of inputs, including Novi proprietary wells spacing, target formations, subsurface, fluids, proppant load and many others.

Output datasets from Novi Prediction Engine are stored in the Novi Cloud™, which supports direct integration with business intelligence platforms such as Spotfire, Tableau, or PowerBI. In addition, Novi Data™ provides insights that support each prediction as part of Novi's initiative to bring transparency to machine learning and predictive analytics.

"Our new Prediction Engine massively increases operational efficiency when it comes to well planning, enabling our customers to rapidly generate accurate predictions that influence final well design and capital allocation," said Scott Sherwood, Novi's CEO. "By tapping the power of machine learning, Novi allows engineering and planning teams to test critical assumptions about drilling and completion and get instant insight into the materials, designs, and best practices that yield optimal recovery and cost performance," he said.
