QuantumRD – Increased predictability in Reservoir Characterization and Hydrocarbon Recovery Based on Novel Noise Injection Computations
Vialogy
ViaLogy was founded in 1999 as a spin-off of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Jet Propulsion Laboratories operated by the California Institute of Technology. The lynchpin of its activities was the furtherance of a unique technology, Quantum Resonance Interferometry (QRI™), originally developed to detect, enhance and characterize weak signals in high background noise and interference environments.
Today, ViaLogy is focused on bringing to clients in the upstream oil and natural gas sector its analytical service offering, QuantumRD®. Another key company technology, Sensor Policy Manager™ integrates sensors in large-scale military base-security and force protection applications within the emerging Physical Security Information Management (PSIM) market.
