Scientific Computer Applications Inc. (SCAI) is a privately held, American company based in Tulsa, Oklahoma. SCAI develops and markets scientific software focused on the Oil exploration and production segment of the petroleum industry.

Scientific Computer Applications, Inc. (SCAI) was established in 1969 as an Oil & Gas Consulting firm by Professional engineering Petroleum Consultant Richard Banks, a graduate of the Colorado School of Mines and the University of Texas. ^[1]

SCAI markets contour map software that generates single surface, multi surface, contour mapping ^[2] and Reservoir Integration applications for the Personal computer. ^[3] ^[4] ^[5]

History

Dick Banks, a Colorado School of Mines graduate, and Joe Sukkar, Ph.D , began a partnership in 1969 with the development of a contour mapping software package based on Triangulation (topology). Triangulation is more rigorous than gridded contour map software because the original data points are always honored, and not estimated as in Grid map software.

Products

Scientific Computer Applications Inc. offers to the Petroleum Industry three major areas of software products.

Contour map software

MCS single surface, a contour mapping program that honors every data point and includes single surface contour map software.
MCS faulting multisurface, a contour mapping software program for Reservoir Modeling that is focused at the Reservoir engineering market. This module handles multiple intersecting non-vertical faults among multiple surfaces.
MCS multisurface, a contour mapping software program that can contour (stack geographically) up to 125 surfaces simultaneously, making a number of structural contour maps and Isopachs at the same time.
Reservoir Integration, a reservoir modeling software program for Petroleum engineering to determine the production opportunity of a Petroleum reservoir.
Integrated Time-to-Depth Conversion, a reservoir modelling software program that uses all seismic and geologic data to generate a contour map.

Petroleum Economics

FEGS, Forecasting, Economics and Graphics System (FEGS) is a powerful and flexible flat-file petroleum economics software package that expedites the accumulation, conversion and decline curve analysis of oil and gas production data.

Decline Curve Analysis software, utilizes Exponential, hyperbolic, hyperbolic reverting to exponential to plot decline curves of well production.

Gas Balancing

Gas Balancing, a gas imbalance accounting software solution that will keep up with the gas imbalance Accounting software and provide a Gas balancing statement to all owners in the well.
