Logtek selects AspenTech Geolog for subsurface workflows

Key Takeaways

• Logtek AS adopts AspenTech Geolog to modernize its subsurface data‑management workflow.
• The new platform delivers up to 75 % faster well‑log turnaround and supports 10 000+ logs per project.
• Built on the OSDU Data Platform, Geolog ensures open‑standard interoperability with Logtek’s custom tools and third‑party applications.
• Automation and multi‑user capabilities replace an aging legacy system, boosting productivity for Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS) operators.

Why Logtek Chose AspenTech Geolog

Logtek provides quality‑control, regulatory reporting, and petrophysical analysis services to upstream operators across the Norwegian Continental Shelf. Their clients rely on accurate, well‑organized data to make high‑stakes exploration and production (E&P) decisions. After a rigorous technical evaluation, Logtek selected AspenTech Geolog, part of the AspenTech Subsurface Science & Engineering (SSE) suite, to replace a legacy third‑party software stack that struggled with scalability and automation.

Core Benefits

How Geolog Accelerates Subsurface Workflows

1. Automated Data Ingestion – Real‑time capture of raw well‑log files (LAS, DLIS) feeds directly into a centralized repository, eliminating manual uploads.
2. Standardized Quality Control – Pre‑built QC algorithms flag outliers and enforce compliance with NCS regulatory thresholds (e.g., pressure‑temperature limits).
3. Petrophysical Modeling – Integrated tools generate porosity, permeability, and saturation models within minutes, supporting rapid E&P opportunity assessments.
4. Collaborative Project Spaces – Multi‑user dashboards allow geoscientists, engineers, and regulators to view and edit the same dataset concurrently, reducing hand‑off delays.

OSDU: The Open Backbone

The Open Subsurface Data Universe (OSDU) platform serves as an industry‑wide, open‑source reference architecture for managing energy data. AspenTech Geolog is engineered to conform to OSDU’s data schemas (e.g., well_log, formation_top). This alignment enables Logtek to:

• Exchange data seamlessly with partner operators and third‑party analytics services.
• Future‑proof its workflow against evolving data standards and cloud‑native deployments.
• Leverage community tools such as OSDU‑based AI models for anomaly detection.

Logtek and its sister company Petroware have already executed proof‑of‑concept (PoC) projects with major Norwegian operators, confirming that OSDU‑aligned workflows cut data‑preparation effort by roughly 30 % while improving data traceability.

Impact on Upstream Customers

By deploying Geolog, Logtek can deliver well‑log packages to exploration teams in as little as 12 hours, compared with the previous 48‑hour window. Faster data availability translates into:

• Earlier drilling decisions, potentially saving USD 5–10 million per well by avoiding non‑productive time.
• More accurate reserve estimates, supporting better capital allocation.
• Improved regulatory compliance, as reports are generated from a single source of truth.

Bottom Line

Logtek’s migration to AspenTech Geolog marks a decisive step toward digitizing subsurface workflows on the Norwegian Continental Shelf. The combination of OSDU‑compliant architecture, high‑volume automation, and multi‑user collaboration slashes data‑processing times by up to 75 %, equips upstream operators with faster, more reliable insights, and positions Logtek to scale its services as the industry embraces open data standards.
