Emerson and Total signed a long-term Software agreement

In a press statement, Emerson announced a long-term global agreement with Total to provide all Total geoscientists with access to Emerson’s Paradigm exploration and production software portfolio, to help the global energy leader maximize performance of reservoir subsurface modeling and formation evaluation.
In late 2017, Emerson acquired Paradigm, which combined with Emerson’s existing portfolio, makes Emerson the largest independent provider of E&P software to the oil and gas industry.
The agreement provides Total access to the Paradigm SKUA-GOCAD™ and Paradigm Geolog® software solution suites for full field life cycle subsurface modeling and formation evaluation activities. Additionally, through use of a Paradigm software development kit, Total will continue to integrate the technology into its own proprietary geosciences and reservoir integrated platform.
With the new agreement, Total will also become an active member of the new OpenDB Consortium, Emerson’s E&P Software initiative to build a next-generation database using industry standard formats. By participating in the consortium, Total will be able to contribute directly to the design and implementation of the database and influence future technological developments.
