Platte River Associates

Since 1985, Platte River Associates (PRA) has been a leading developer of petroleum systems modeling solution that provide key information regarding hydrocarbon potential. The firm’s proprietary software generates detailed and probabilistic modeling data that assists oil and gas companies in key exploration decisions. Platte River Associates also offers a full range of multi-disciplinary consulting services that span project life cycles and incorporate the assistance of leading regional experts. Tailored deliverables range from basic maturity models to long-term studies including play fairway analysis and multi-faceted systems modeling.

PRA’s basin modeling suite is composed of five integrated software packages that together provide accurate and multidimensional simulations. BasinMod 2012 is project-based and enables engineers to put together a variety of multiple 1-D models and construct gridded maps that spatially define wells. BasinView adds detail to the maps through calculation-driven batch processing capabilities. BasinMod 2-D generates additional cross sections that enable source rock assessments. Migration pathways can be evaluated through BasinMod 2-D and accurately mapped utilizing BasinFlow.
