Antech Oilfield Software upgrades Stringview Millennium

Posted: 28 January 2004

Upgraded well visualisation software features parametric search capabilities and custom icon creation

AnTech Oilfield Software, a division of engineering design and manufacturing company AnTech Ltd, announced a major upgrade to StringView Millennium.

StringView Millennium is AnTech’s well visualisation software program that can interface with existing IT programs to produce custom reports and well diagrams of a broad range of wells.

StringView Millennium is part of the AnTech suite of string drawing and reporting software packages, including StringView Millennium SDK and StringView Online LE.

Users can download and evaluate the new version by visiting www.stringview.com.

Since its launch in 2001, well engineers have been using StringView Millennium to create outstanding well diagrams and reports. They can now produce better, customised diagrams even faster.

Users will be pleased to learn that the program has been substantially improved, offering a number of new capabilities. They are:

  • integrated tool editing makes it possible for users to create custom icons from scratch or by modifying an existing tool from the StringView library.
  • new parametric search facility allows users to search for tools using any of the tool’s properties, saving time and effort. For example, search for all tools with an OD of 3”.
  • the improved user interface means that it is much easier to access the specific activities the individual user carries out most often. For example, string and tool properties may now be accessed in a window of the screen.
  • printing speeds have been dramatically increased, with the installation of the new printing algorithm.
  • new snap-to-grid capability means that placement of tool strings is much more precise.

“Overall, the new StringView Millennium offers greater speed and an expanded range of capabilities, while retaining its ability to embed seamlessly into any existing IT application,” said Toni Miszewski, Managing Director of AnTech. “From a creative standpoint, the ability to develop completely original icons or customise existing tools from the StringView portfolio or user’s existing library is a major step forward. Combined with the new search facility, access to the user’s most frequent activities, snap-to-grid and faster print speed, well engineers can now produce diagrams and reports with greater originality in even less time,” he added.

Use of Existing Data and Imagery Saves Time and Money
StringView Millennium is used to draw the full range of wells, while allowing the user to apply their own data. Data may be extracted directly from an existing database and combine it with the component library to produce a well diagram, complete with logos and data tables reflecting the user’s designated company product. User-defined parameters may be added to contain existing data in any style, and the well diagram may be modified according to that data. At a deeper level, users can create well component images from their own engineering drawings. Alternatively, AnTech is happy to provide this service upon request.

Technical Specifications
StringView Millennium is built around ActiveX technology, using the latest Microsoft operating systems and a full WYSIWYG graphical user interface. To utilise StringView Millennium, the user must operate the following: a PC-compatible computer with 800MHz processor or equivalent and Microsoft Windows, NT4, ME, 2000 or XP operating systems. There must be a minimum of 96MB RAM, 40MB of free space on the hard disk and at least SVGA 1024 x 768 @ 256 colour graphics.
