Landmark
announces the releases of corporate data archiver
Posted: 4 February 2003
Powerful Web-based data management tool for capturing oil
and gas company corporate knowledge
HOUSTON, Texas — Landmark Graphics Corporation,
a wholly owned business unit of Halliburton, announced the release
of Corporate Data Archiver, a web-based data management tool designed
to store and protect the digital assets of upstream exploration
and production companies.
This streamlined data management system provides rapid retrieval
of critical data and knowledge, and reduces the need to rework projects
or reacquire data due to lack or loss of information.
Corporate Data Archiver extends Landmark's industry leading oil
and gas data management capabilities and is the first release in
Landmark's new Corporate Data and Knowledge Management product line.
It stores definitive versions of data, information and knowledge,
such as prospect evaluations or reservoir studies and is designed
to visually record a project, automatically creating a snapshot
of selected data.
This snapshot eliminates the need to restore project data 'just
to see what's there,' due to a very rich description. Corporate
Data Archiver features an easy-to-use interface where users can
simply type in a key word or phrase and easily find archived data
and project knowledge.
In addition, Corporate Data Archiver consolidates project data
and documentation for output to Landmark's PetroBank Master Data
Store system, where project archives can be safely and securely
managed, or saved to corporate IT disk and tape systems.
"From data acquisition, archive, clean up and analysis to
maintenance of project data stores, we understand the value of our
customers' data and knowledge assets," said Andy Lane, president
and CEO of Landmark. "Corporate Data Archiver enables our customers
to capture and preserve their valuable interpretation and analysis
results within their data repository and then make it available
quickly to their knowledge workers."
Prior to availability of the innovative, online knowledge-capture
Corporate Data Archiver tool, final project results were often stored
in a printed format, frequently making data access difficult and
slow. As data volumes continue to grow with the advent of 4D seismic
and real-time information, there is an ever-increasing need to store
and capture data, information and knowledge in its appropriate context
and make it available quickly online.
Corporate Data Archiver fully supports industry-leading products
such as the OpenWorks R2003 project data management system from
Landmark.
It is built on a vendor neutral framework allowing subsequent releases
to support archiving with industry standard formats such as SEGY,
LAS, WellLogML as well as support for third-party products and other
project management systems. Corporate Data Archiver runs on UNIX
and Linux platforms.
