GeoSoftware 2026.1 Delivers Enhanced Reliability and Performance for More Confident Reservoir Characterization Workflows

March 1, 2026—GeoSoftware™, the global trusted partner providing geoscience software and consulting services for enhanced subsurface knowledge, is proud to announce the release of the 2026.1 versions of HampsonRussell, Jason, and PowerLog, representing the latest advancements in seismic reservoir characterization and petrophysical analysis.

The 2026.1 release delivers meaningful enhancements focused on workflow reliability, usability, and performance, enabling geoscientists and reservoir engineers to work more efficiently and with greater confidence across reservoir characterization and petrophysical analysis workflows.

HampsonRussell 2026.0: Greater Reliability Across the Geoscience Workflow

HampsonRussell 2026.1 strengthens consistency and predictability across the full workflow—from mapping through inversion, GeoAI and Emerge machine learning workflows, and Petrel connectivity—helping users spend more time interpreting and less time troubleshooting.

Key enhancements include a more stable and predictable map display environment, improved handling of scientific notation and orientation tools, and faster updates to 3D survey boundaries. AVO, attribute, and ProAZ workflows benefit from improved output organization, more consistent end-to-end processing, and expanded support for azimuthal angle-gather inputs.

Modeling and inversion workflows see improved reliability through accurate SEG-Y header handling, consistent horizon ordering behavior, and more dependable deviated well log ties within Strata Models. GeoAI and Emerge enhancements deliver more flexible and responsive AI‑driven workflows with fewer limitations and benefit from a TensorFlow upgrade and more robust handling of pre-stack volumes. Petrel connectivity improvements ensure correct unit retention and smoother cross-platform consistency with fewer manual checks.

Jason 2026.1: Streamlined Usability and Workflow Efficiency

Jason 2026.1 focuses on usability improvements driven by client feedback, delivering a more intuitive and efficient user experience without disrupting established workflows.

Usability enhancements improve day-to-day interaction with the software, reducing unnecessary steps and making results easier to validate. New well QC capabilities allow users to directly compare facies and facies probabilities across wells, predictions, seismic resolution, and inversion outputs—supporting faster quality control and more confident interpretation.

Workflow efficiency is further improved through simplified data handling. Users can now import multi-well deviation survey files in a single step, saving time and reducing the potential for errors during data preparation. Expanded synthetic generation capabilities allow synthetics to be created from multiple realizations, whether from co-simulation or inversion, enabling broader evaluation of seismic responses and supporting advanced modeling workflows such as PS synthetics for multi-component inversion.

PowerLog 2026.1: Greater Accuracy and High-Performance Scalability

PowerLog 2026.1 introduces significant advances in saturation and project scalability, enabling petrophysicists to work more effectively across complex and data-intensive environments.

Enhanced dual water saturation modeling in Statmin improves accuracy in clay-rich and heterogeneous formations through automatic dry and wet clay detection. Dynamic clay handling and iterative integration of mineral-derived outputs provide more reliable saturation results, particularly when working across varying lithologies or alternating matrices. 

Performance improvements significantly enhance responsiveness for large projects, particularly those containing more than 5,000 wells. Faster navigation between well groups and improved stability in project viewers reduce delays and support more efficient interpretation and review.

Interpretation and rock physics workflows are also more efficient, with improved interactivity in laminated sand-shale analysis crossplots and more reliable handling of curve aliases in rock physics templates. 

“The 2026.1 release reflects our continued focus on reliability, usability, and performance across GeoSoftware’s portfolio. These updates reduce friction in day-to-day workflows while giving our clients greater confidence in their interpretation, modeling, and decision-making.”
