WORLDWIDE DATA MANAGEMENT PROJECTS
REGIONAL AND LOCAL PROJECTS
Quality data management forms the foundation for all geological studies, and especially those that require 3D geomodeling. Most of the fundamental flaws in geoscience interpretation and models can be attributed to unreliable input data. We have worked on major data management projects worldwide, and can bring that experience to your projects.
ARGENTINA
The Argentina project (for Occidental Argentina) required the integration of isolated, geographically-separated datasets in Kingdom Suite, and the migration of all petrophysical logs, formation tops, and geophysical data into the Landmark OpenWorks environment. The resulting database was basin-scale, and enabled more comprehensive and integrated interpretation in the Landmark Suite and geomodeling in Petrel.
BAHRAIN
The Bahrain project (for Tatweer Petroleum) involved the creation of a complete Landmark Openworks database from LAS-format log data, formation tops as ASCII-format exports from a mainframe database, and training of the national staff to use the Landmark Suite, DSG, and Petrel. In addition, a set of full-featured database integration and manipulation tools were developed to load, QC, and reformat data tailored for each user's needs.
INDONESIA
Maxus Southeast Sumatra (now Repsol) required an integrated geotechnical data management software tool to manage various separate worksheet and mainframe based data sources. A complete software solution was custom developed that allowed loading, QC, reporting, reformatting, and delivery to end users for whatever interpretive tool they were using.
SAUDI ARABIA
Saudi Aramco was in the process of converting a proprietary mainframe-based data management system to a distributed, modern commercial DM system, and required extensive definitions of data types, data handling best practices, and coordination between various departments which previously used individual DBs and were now sharing a common DB platform.
UNITED STATES
Early data management and computer mapping projects were conducted for Amoco Production in the Williston Basin and involved digitization and storage of formation tops and well information in a proprietary mainframe system. More recent projects for Occidental in the Permian Basin included consultation on best practices for migration of data from Landmark Openworks to Petrel Studio.
WORLDWIDE
One of the most extensive worldwide projects was conducted for ARCO Oil and Gas, and involved the definition of data categories, metadata requirements, standards, and best practices for the management of formation tops for all worldwide assets.
