Welcome to SQIC’s Home page

Make the best of your resources. The nature of your QI project might be very different (acreage capture, prospect description, risk analysis, wildcat drilling, exploration drilling in a mature area, development drilling, drill or drop decision….). This shall translate into different data availabilities and time constraints. Also, geological, geophysical and petrophysical contexts might be very variable. SQIC can help you optimize and streamline your project to meet its objective depending on its nature and context. There is no « one-size-fits-all » type of workflow ! Spend your time on data that are worth it, with workflows adressing key uncertainties. No need to generate superfluous attributes or use questionable data or calibration. Engage one step after another in a logical and robust way, optimize your resources. Based on its comprehensive experience, SQIC can help you frame and organize your project.

As your project unfolds, intermediate reviews and advice can be useful to make sure your QI project is on-track or re-route itself depending on current results, new data, updated interpretations or changing context (shorter delays, modified objectives). SQIC can offer advice at milestone reviews. With motivated advice, this amounts to coaching and training your specialized QI team while on-the-job.

Are your QI tools working together—or against each other? Make sure your rationale is safe and robust. Ensure it is properly articulated without flaws and illustrated by adhoc documents. Clearly present your assumptions and conclusions. Minimize biases (motivation, illusion of knowledge, …). SQIC can review your memo or presentation material to identify its strengths or weaknesses. SQIC would suggest improvements or additional work designed to firm-up weaker results or to bridge possible gaps in its rationale. Make sure your visuals satisfy your audience, be it manages, decision makers, subject matter expert or mixed.

More QI tools shouldn’t mean more confusion. When the day-to-day jargon gets blurry, the « devil in the details » takes over. Piling up QI tools with clashing assumptions or inconsistent and mis-used results is a recipe for disaster.With its extensive experience giving internal training to professional geoscientists, SQIC offers no-nonsense, dedicated training on most QI topics that exposes the assumptions, limitations, and practical realities of your QI workflow. Let’s master the fundamentals, together. Give SQIC one of those QI buzz words (e.g. phase, signal-to-noise, offset-to-angle mapping,…) and SQIC’s open lectures shall strip away the fluff to tackle the real-world blind spots where projects usually stumble.
